  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by kostja94 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the App Ads AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills/tree/main/skills/paid-ads/formats/app-ads
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills.git /tmp/marketing-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/marketing-skills/skills/paid-ads/formats/app-ads .claude/skills/app-ads
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable App Ads in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads App Ads on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so App Ads is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Paid Ads: App Ads

Guides app advertising: app install campaigns, user acquisition (UA), and in-app promotion. Use when promoting mobile apps (iOS, Android); conversion = install or in-app action, not landing page.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Key Platforms

PlatformBest forConversion
Google App CampaignsAndroid + iOS; automated across Search, YouTube, Display, Play, DiscoverInstall, in-app event
Apple Search Ads (ASA)iOS only; high-intent App Store searchInstall
Meta App InstallFacebook/Instagram; demand gen for appsInstall, in-app event
TikTok App InstallYounger users; viral creativeInstall

Google App Campaigns

  • Reach: Search, YouTube, Display, Google Play, Discover
  • Bidding: Maximize Conversions (automated) or Target CPI/CPA (30+ conversions/week)
  • Creative: Provide diverse assets (videos, images, text); algorithm tests combinations
  • iOS: SKAdNetwork; conversion value mapping; Firebase for in-app events
  • Bid–budget ratio: ≥10× for CPI, ≥15× for CPA

Apple Search Ads

  • Placements: App Store search results, Today tab, Search tab, product pages
  • Modes: Basic (automated) or Advanced (keywords, audiences, bids)
  • Audience: High-intent users actively searching in App Store
  • ASO benefit: Can improve keyword rankings as secondary effect

Metrics

MetricUse
CPICost per install
CPACost per acquisition (in-app action)
LTVLifetime value; iOS often higher than Android
RetentionD1, D7, D30; quality signal

iOS vs Android: iOS typically higher LTV, higher CPI; Android greater scale, lower CPI.

Tracking

  • Firebase: In-app events, audiences, value-based optimization (Google)
  • SKAdNetwork: iOS attribution; configure conversion value mapping
  • UTM: Use utm_medium=app or cpc with utm_source for app campaigns in GA4

Pre-Launch Checklist

  • App Store / Play Store listing optimized (ASO)
  • Firebase or equivalent connected; in-app events defined
  • Creative assets (video, images, text) prepared
  • Conversion events (install, signup, purchase) configured
  • Bid–budget ratio meets minimum (10× CPI, 15× CPA)

Frequently asked questions

What does the App Ads AI skill do?

When the user wants to run app install ads, user acquisition (UA), or promote mobile apps. Also use when the user mentions "app ads," "app install ads," "UA," "user acquisition," "Google App Campaigns," "Apple Search Ads," "ASA," "UAC," "App Store ads," "Play Store ads," "CPI," or "app promotion." For store listings, use distribution-channels.

Why use App Ads on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. App Ads is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install App Ads in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills/tree/main/skills/paid-ads/formats/app-ads. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use App Ads?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with App Ads?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use App Ads with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the App Ads AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by kostja94 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
