Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
TL;DR

This skill collection bridges AI ad generation and Meta ad deployment. Using the Arcads external API, it produces video and image assets across models like Seedance 2.0, Sora 2, and Veo 3.1, then feeds finished creatives into the Meta Marketing API as paused ads in existing ad sets. Supporting workflows include competitor research, copy modeling from winning ads, and reverse-engineering reference videos into reusable templates. It serves performance marketers, creative operations teams, and DTC brands who need to move from a generated concept to a published ad within the agent.

Creative ops teams iterating AI video ads

Claude Code bundle

Installs: Complete Arcads AI Video Agent Skill Pack repository; the listed skillPaths are a bounded selection of positively documented skills, not the bundle's complete inventory. · Claude Code

Before you start
  • Python 3.10+
  • An Arcads account and Arcads API key
  • bash-compatible environment; Windows users are advised to use WSL2
  • ffmpeg for the analyze-video starter task
  • Optional openai-whisper Python package for automatic transcription; dialogue can instead be supplied manually

Platform: macOS or Linux with bash; WSL2 recommended on Windows

  1. In a terminal, start in the directory where you want the repository created. Clone it and enter the repository directory; keep the same terminal session for the next step.

    git clone https://github.com/krusemediallc/arcads-claude-code.git
    cd arcads-claude-code
  2. From the cloned repository directory, run the setup script in the terminal. When prompted, provide the Arcads API key from the account API settings; the script creates .env, verifies the connection, creates MASTER_CONTEXT.md, and synchronizes the skills.

    ./scripts/setup.sh
  3. Open the cloned repository folder in Claude Code. Its SessionStart hook reports the installed skills and setup state.
