This is a strong, highly actionable Google Ads audit skill with excellent domain-specific guidance, concrete thresholds, and clear workflows with validation checkpoints. Its main weakness is length — at 250+ lines with the AI Max and DSA migration sections inline, it pushes the boundaries of what should live in a single SKILL.md versus being split into referenced files. The content quality is high throughout, with particularly strong negative keyword rules and the DSA migration pre-flight checklist.
Suggestions
Move the AI Max for Search section (including the DSA Migration Pre-Flight Checklist) into a separate reference file like ads/references/ai-max-search.md and reference it from the main skill to improve progressive disclosure and reduce token load.
Move the Demand Gen and PMax Deep Dive sections into their own reference files (ads/references/pmax-audit.md, ads/references/demand-gen.md) since they are conditional sections that only apply when those campaign types exist.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is quite long (~250+ lines) and includes some information Claude could infer (e.g., explaining what PMax asset groups are, what RSAs are). However, most content is domain-specific thresholds, rules, and checklists that genuinely add value. The AI Max section and DSA Migration Pre-Flight Checklist are thorough but border on verbose — some items could be condensed. The negative keyword rules section earns its place as critical operational guidance. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Highly actionable throughout: specific GAQL field names (campaign.ai_max_setting.enable_ai_max), concrete thresholds in the benchmarks table, exact match type syntax ([keyword] vs "keyword"), deduplication rules with tuple format (ad_group_id + keyword_text + match_type), specific dollar thresholds (>$10 spend AND 0 conversions), and a complete DSA migration checklist with checkboxes. The output format is copy-paste ready with the visual health score template. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The top-level process has clear sequencing with two explicit validation checkpoints (confirm ≥30 days data before proceeding, confirm all 80 checks evaluated before scoring). The DSA Migration Pre-Flight Checklist has a clear risk-staging workflow (LOW → HIGH) with a specific rollback trigger (>25% conversion drop in 7 days). The negative keyword rules include a feedback loop (review existing negatives for over-blocking). The MCP integration has a clear fallback path. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References to external files are well-signaled (ads/references/google-audit.md, benchmarks.md, scoring-system.md, gaql-notes.md), but no bundle files were provided to verify they exist. The SKILL.md itself is quite long and monolithic — the AI Max section, DSA Migration Checklist, and Demand Gen section could arguably be split into separate reference files. The inline content is well-structured with headers but the sheer volume in a single file works against progressive disclosure principles. | 2 / 3 |
