How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈5
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 22
Do not move budget based on last-click ROAS alone.
- Distinctive: line 23
Prefer evidence in this order: CRM-qualified outcomes > blended metrics (total leads / total spend over time, MER) > platform-reported.
- Distinctive: line 24
Check for overlap: branded search volume and direct traffic rising with Meta spend suggests Meta contributes beyond its reported numbers …
- Distinctive: line 25
If Search is budget-limited at good CPA, fund it first (capturing existing demand is cheapest).
- Distinctive: line 34
Use workflows/campaign-planning.md then workflows/campaign-launch.md.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Channel roles (BEST PRACTICE, not interchangeable)
| Meta | Google Search | |
| Role | demand generation, discovery, interruption | demand capture, people already searching |
| Lever that matters most | creative + offer | keyword/intent coverage + message match |
| Lead quality pattern | more top-of-funnel; qualification matters | higher intent; volume capped by search demand |
| Attribution bias | view-through and cross-device undercount/overcount; last-click undercredits it | last-click overcredits it (captures demand others created) |
| Scaling limit | creative fatigue, audience size in small geos | search volume, impression share |
Cross-platform comparison ("Compare Meta and Google for this client")
Report side by side for the same dates: spend, leads, qualified leads (CRM), revenue if known, CPL, cost per qualified lead, CPA, ROAS, conversion rate, and attribution confidence per platform (how each counts, window, tracking health). Then interpret:
- Do not move budget based on last-click ROAS alone. Google Search often harvests demand Meta created.
- Prefer evidence in this order: CRM-qualified outcomes > blended metrics (total leads / total spend over time, MER) > platform-reported.
- Check for overlap: branded search volume and direct traffic rising with Meta spend suggests Meta contributes beyond its reported numbers (HEURISTIC; test with a holdout or geo split before concluding).
- If Search is budget-limited at good CPA, fund it first (capturing existing demand is cheapest). Meta budget then scales demand.
- Recommend reallocations as small steps (10-20%) with a read date - EXPERIMENT unless evidence is strong.
Niche research first
New client or new niche? Run workflows/niche-research.md before planning. Use the playbook (adsgm niche show <niche>) and niche patterns (adsgm learn summary --niche <niche>) to set expected CPL and conversion-rate ranges, offers and first hooks. Label every number with its source.
Planning a new campaign
Use workflows/campaign-planning.md then workflows/campaign-launch.md. Brief: templates/campaign-brief.md; launch plan: templates/launch-plan.md.
Decide in this order: business goal and unit economics -> offer -> audience and geo -> channel -> campaign architecture -> conversion event and tracking readiness -> budget and bidding -> creative and copy requirements -> risks -> measurement and read dates.
Budget split heuristics (HEURISTIC; replace with client data)
- New local service client, modest budget: Google Search first for demand capture at the CPL target; Meta for volume and awareness once creative exists.
- Minimum to learn: enough budget per campaign for several conversions a week. If total budget cannot fund both platforms to that level, recommend one platform first and say why.
- Hold back 10-20% for tests.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
