# Meta Ad Policy Checker Meta disapproves ads for policy reasons constantly, and most disapprovals are preventable. The pattern is almost always the same: an advertiser (or an AI agent generating variants) writes copy that uses a phrase or implies a claim that violates Meta's published advertising standards. The fix is cheap if you catch it before submission, expensive if you don't — repeated disapprovals on the same account can throttle delivery or trigger account-level restrictions. This skill is a pre-flight check. It reads ad copy, figures out which Meta policies apply, fetches the live policy text from Meta's transparency center, and returns a clear verdict with specific findings, citations, and rewrites. It does not hardcode policy rules — Meta updates those, and a static rule list goes stale. Instead, the skill uses Meta's own canonical policy pages as ground truth on every run. **Core principle:** The skill provides the methodology — what to check, how to reason, what severity to assign. Meta provides the source of truth — the actual policy text. This separation is what keeps the skill correct as Meta's standards evolve. ## When to Use - Before launching any new Meta ad - A

Pre-flight policy check for Meta ads. Takes ad copy plus advertiser context, resolves and fetches the relevant Meta transparency-center policy pages at runtime, and returns a Pass / Fix Required / Block verdict with cited findings and rewrites.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills --skill meta-ad-policy-checker --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From gooseworks-ai/goose-skills, a repository with 1,091 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
