Meta Ads Policy Review — Development skill for Claude Code

Ad Preflight 🛫

**Catch the Meta rejection before Meta does.**

Drop in your ad copy (one ad or a whole batch) and Ad Preflight checks every element against Meta's **live** Advertising Standards — fetched fresh from Meta's Transparency Center on every run, never a stale rule list. Every ad comes back with a verdict:

• ✅ Cleared for launch — no findings worth acting on
• ⚠️ Fix before launch — likely flag, with the specific fix
• ⛔ Grounded — clear violation; the exact phrase, the policy citation, and a rewrite that keeps the selling intent

Plus a dark-mode dashboard with every finding, citation, and rewrite in one place.

Why this matters

Ad rejections aren't just annoying — repeated disapprovals teach Meta's system to distrust your account, throttle delivery, and eventually restrict it. Almost every rejection is preventable: a personal-attribute callout ("struggling with acne?"), a health claim worded one notch too hard, a before/after implication. This is the pre-flight check that catches them while they're still free to fix.

What you need

• Claude (Desktop, claude.ai, or Claude Code)
• Your ad copy — pasted into chat or dropped in as a file

**No API keys. No Meta login. No installs.** All scripts are Python 3 standard library only.

Quick start

1. Install the skill:
   • Claude Desktop / claude.ai: Settings → Capabilities → Skills → upload the skill zip
   • Claude Code: clone this repo into your skills folder:

     git clone https://github.com/mikefutia/meta-ads-policy-review.git ~/.claude/skills/ad-preflight

2. Start a new chat and say: "run ad preflight"
3. Paste your ads (or try sample-ads.md for an instant demo).
4. Answer two questions (what's the product; Special Ad Category if any).
5. Get your verdicts + dashboard.

What it will not do

• Replace Meta's actual review — Meta is the final gate, and account history affects it in ways a pre-flight can't see. Treat the verdict as the floor
