Using MiniAgent — Enforcement Skill

Purpose

This skill ensures you ALWAYS use MiniAgent's specialized advertising skills instead of generating generic responses.

Mandatory Skill Check

Before responding to ANY advertising question, check this table:

If the user asks about...	Load this skill FIRST
Campaign data, metrics, GAQL	`google-ads-analysis`
Account health, audit, review	`google-ads-audit`
Making changes to accounts	`google-ads-write`
PPC math, calculations	`google-ads-math`
MCP setup, credentials	`google-ads-mcp`
Multiple issues systematically	`google-ads-audit` → then individual skills

Red Flags — STOP and Use the Skill

🚫 About to write a GAQL query? → Load google-ads-analysis first 🚫 About to modify campaign settings? → Load google-ads-write first (CEP required) 🚫 About to do PPC math in your head? → Load google-ads-math first 🚫 About to evaluate an account? → Load google-ads-audit first 🚫 "This is a simple question, I don't need the skill" → WRONG. Always use the skill. 🚫 "I already know this from my training data" → WRONG. The skill has current best practices.

Skill Composition Chain

For complex tasks, chain skills in this order:

1. using-miniagent (this skill — always first)
2. google-ads-analysis (understand the data)
3. google-ads-audit (systematic evaluation)
4. google-ads-write (make changes via CEP)
5. google-ads-math (validate the numbers)

Anti-Rationalization

The agent WILL try to skip skills. Common rationalizations and why they're wrong:

Rationalization	Why It's Wrong
"The user just wants a quick answer"	Quick answers without the skill miss context
"This is basic PPC knowledge"	The skill includes current benchmarks and best practices
"I'll use the skill for the next question"	Use it NOW. Every question.
"The MCP tools aren't connected"	Skills work WITHOUT MCP — they guide analysis with whatever data exists

Output Format

When skills are loaded, prefix your response with:

📊 [MiniAgent — google-ads-analysis loaded]

This confirms to the user that specialized knowledge is active.
