Add the Canva advertising templates skill to your AI client
Set up the Adspirer "Design System Ad Kit" skill for me. If you can run commands: npx adspirer-skills add canva-advertising-templates If not: fetch https://www.adspirer.com/skills/canva-advertising-templates.md and follow it. Then read the skill and ask me what you need to get started.
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, or any agent — it works out how to install itself.
Or install it yourself
npx adspirer-skills add canva-advertising-templates Writes SKILL.md to .claude/skills/ in the current project. The bundled references, scripts, and assets ship with the ZIP. Download ZIP →
Upload the ZIP in Claude → Settings → Skills. The bundle preserves every reference, script, and asset.
Install the Adspirer plugin first: Cowork tab → Customize (left sidebar) → Plugins → Browse Plugins → search "Adspirer" → Install. Requires Claude Max, Team, or Enterprise. Then upload this ZIP as a skill.
In ChatGPT, open Plugins → Skills → Create → Upload from your computer. ChatGPT scans the skill before making it available. Availability and upload permissions depend on your workspace plan and admin settings.
npx adspirer-skills add canva-advertising-templates --agent cursor Writes the skill to .cursor/rules/ in the current workspace, so Cursor loads it on every session.
npx adspirer-skills add canva-advertising-templates --agent codex Appends the skill to AGENTS.md, which Codex reads on every session — so it persists instead of living in one conversation. The append is idempotent; re-running it will not duplicate the block.
npx adspirer-skills add canva-advertising-templates --agent gemini Appends the skill to .gemini/GEMINI.md, which the Gemini CLI reads on every session. Connect Adspirer as an MCP server first so the live ad-account steps can run.
npx adspirer-skills add canva-advertising-templates --agent windsurf Writes the skill to .windsurf/rules/ in the current workspace, so Windsurf loads it on every session.
npx adspirer-skills add canva-advertising-templates --agent other Writes SKILL.md to adspirer-skills/ in the current folder — point any agent at that file. No shell? Fetch the raw file with curl -fsSL https://www.adspirer.com/skills/canva-advertising-templates.md, which prints the skill instead of installing it.

When to use the Canva advertising templates skill
Templates built from real brand tokens at the sizes campaigns actually serve, with fixed and variable regions defined and system gaps referred back.
Use case 1
Ads keep drifting off brand
Each batch is rebuilt from memory because nothing connects the design system to advertising.
Use case 2
Non-designers need to ship ads
The team needs it to be easier to stay on brand than to leave it.
Use case 3
The system was built for screens
Type steps and colour pairings may not survive a small vertical frame with interface over it.

Canva advertising templates examples
The numbers, account, and recommendation will be yours. These show the kind of story the skill helps you work through.
Tokens from the live file
The only brand reference in circulation is a PDF exported last year.
The skill reads the current design file, records the source, and asks which version is canonical rather than guessing.
A gap at ad sizes
The smallest required placement makes the system’s body type illegible.
The skill reports it to the brand team instead of inventing a value that would become an unofficial standard.

Before you install
Frequently asked questions
What is the Canva advertising templates skill?
It is an Agent Skill — a folder of instructions your AI assistant loads when you ask it to do this job. It follows the open Agent Skills specification, so the same package works across different assistants. Extract real brand tokens from Figma and build ad templates at the sizes campaigns actually serve, with rules for what may change. Unlike a prompt you paste in, the skill carries its own procedure, checks, and stop conditions, so the assistant works the same way every time you run it.
Which AI assistants can run it?
Claude, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini and Windsurf. Download the ZIP and upload it in assistants that accept skill folders, or point the assistant at the raw SKILL.md file. The install card above has the exact step for each one.
What do I need to connect before I run it?
Adspirer and Figma are required, because the skill reads live account data rather than guessing. Canva is optional and only add value when the job calls for them. The skill confirms the connection before it touches a real account, and tells you plainly if something is missing.
Do I need an Adspirer account, and is there a free tier?
The skill itself is free to download and MIT-licensed. To let it read or change real ad accounts you need Adspirer connected: the free tier includes 15 tool calls a month, Plus is $49/mo for 150, Pro is $99/mo for 600, and Max is $199/mo for 3,000. You can install the skill and read what it does before signing up for anything.
Can it change my campaigns without asking?
No. Any new campaign Adspirer creates is created paused, enabling a paused or live campaign needs your confirmation, and destructive actions are gated behind an explicit confirmation flag. Spend, publishing, and live changes wait for your approval every time — installing a skill or a connector is not itself approval to act.
How do I get the best results from it?
Give it the specifics it asks for up front — the account or campaign, the date range, the goal, and what "good" looks like for this business. Let the first pass run read-only so you can check the evidence before anything changes. The starter prompt above is a working template; edit the bracketed parts and paste it in.
How is this different from just asking the assistant directly?
A plain prompt gets you a plausible answer from whatever the model already knows. This skill makes the assistant pull real numbers from your ad accounts, follow a fixed procedure, show its evidence, and stop at the points where a person should decide. That is the difference between a confident guess and a canva advertising templates you can act on.
