    πŸ›‘οΈ Ad Copy Policy Linter

    by JustHandled Labs

    Check ad copy for the editorial issues that get Google and Meta ads disapproved, before you submit. Flags all-caps words, gimmicky punctuation (!!, ??), prohibited and hype words, Meta's banned personal-attribute framing ("Are you over 40?"), absolute or unsubstantiated claims, ad-field length overflow, and trademark-term risk. The word lists and field limits are editable, so you can tune it to your accounts.

    About This Skill

    Automated Ad Policy Compliance for Developers

    Stop wasting time on "disapproved" notifications. The Ad Copy Policy Linter is a specialized static analysis tool designed to catch editorial and policy violations in Google and Meta ad copy before you hit submit. It treats ad copy like code, applying a rigorous set of heuristics to identify high-risk language, formatting issues, and platform-specific restricted content.

    What it does

    This skill scans text files, CSVs, or stdin to detect risks based on the latest 2026 Google and Meta editorial guidelines. It provides a detailed report of findings, including severity levels and specific remediation steps. Unlike a general LLM prompt, this skill uses structured scripts and a dedicated audit checklist to ensure consistency and prevent hallucinations regarding platform rules.

    • Heuristic Scanning: Detects non-compliant punctuation, capitalization, and restricted claims.
    • Platform Specifics: Differentiates between Google and Meta requirements.
    • CI/CD Friendly: Integrated Python scripts allow for automated pre-submission checks in your deployment pipeline.
    • Clear Evidence: Every flag includes the specific text snippet that triggered the rule and remediation guidance.

    Why use this skill?

    Prompting a standard AI often results in "vibes-based" feedback. This skill is built on a codified rule engine that follows documented platform policies. It helps developers and growth hackers maintain high account health scores by preventing repeated rejections from automated platform bots.

    Use Cases

    • Scan campaign CSVs for Meta and Google policy risks before upload.
    • Identify high-risk health and financial claims in batch ad sets.
    • Automate editorial linting for capitalization and punctuation abuse.
    • Provide remediation steps for ad copy likely to be disapproved.
