Add the codex skills skill to your AI client
Set up the Adspirer "Codex Skills for Paid Media" skill for me. If you can run commands: npx adspirer-skills add codex-skills If not: fetch https://www.adspirer.com/skills/codex-skills.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 codex-skills --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 codex-skills --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/codex-skills.md, which prints the skill instead of installing it.

When to use the codex skills skill
A focused Codex skill set with distinct jobs, verified install and connector states, a starter prompt, and one representative activation check.
Use case 1
A team needs a starter pack
Recurring paid-media jobs are known, but the catalog needs to be reduced to the smallest useful set.
Use case 2
Installed skills are not activating
Descriptions, explicit invocation, client state, and required inputs need to be checked separately.
Use case 3
Several skills form one workflow
Audit, pacing, setup, and reporting need an order of operations and one consistent approval boundary.

Frequently asked questions
What is the codex skills 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. Choose a practical Codex skill pack for paid media and run it with the right context, connectors, and approval boundaries. 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?
Codex. 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 is required, because the skill reads live account data rather than guessing. Google Analytics 4, Shopify and PostHog are 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 codex skills you can act on.
