PDF Ad Strategy Report Generator

Skill Purpose

Generate a polished, client-ready PDF advertising strategy report using the ReportLab Python library. This skill scans the current working directory for all ads output files, extracts scores, audience personas, campaign structure, budget allocation, and competitive intelligence, compiles them into structured JSON, and produces a professional PDF with a cover page featuring an Ad Readiness Score gauge, audience persona cards, campaign funnel diagram, budget allocation chart, competitive positioning map, creative direction summary, and a prioritized 90-day action plan.

When to Use

  • User wants a PDF version of the ad strategy report (not just Markdown)
  • User is preparing a deliverable for a client or stakeholder presentation
  • User asks for a "polished report", "client-ready report", or "PDF report"
  • User wants a visual report with charts, scores, and professional formatting
  • Triggered by /ads report-pdf or /ads report-pdf <business name>

When to Use PDF vs Markdown

Format Best For Pros Cons
PDF Client presentations, email attachments, proposals, sales collateral Professional appearance, charts and gauges, printable, consistent formatting Requires Python script, harder to edit
Markdown Internal use, quick reference, iterative editing, version control Easy to edit, fast to generate, git-friendly Less visually polished, no charts

Rule of thumb: If the report goes to a client, prospect, or executive, use PDF. If it is for internal use or further editing, use Markdown.

How to Execute

Step 1: Check for PDF Generation Script

First, check if the dedicated PDF generation script exists:

ls ~/.claude/skills/ads/scripts/generate_ads_pdf.py 2>/dev/null

If the script exists: Use it directly (skip to Step 4). If the script does not exist: Generate the PDF inline using ReportLab (follow all steps).

Step 2: Collect All Available Data

Scan the current working directory for all ads skill outputs. Search for these files:

Primary data sources (search for all of these):

  • ADS-STRATEGY-*.md — Full strategy report (composite scores, all sections)
  • ADS-AUDIENCE*.md — Audience personas, targeting parameters
  • ADS-COPY-*.md — Platform-specific ad copy
  • ADS-HOOKS*.md — Scroll-stopping hooks
  • ADS-CREATIVE-BRIEF*.md — Creative briefs for all formats
  • ADS-VIDEO-SCRIPTS*.md — Video ad scripts
  • ADS-FUNNEL*.md — Campaign funnel architecture
  • ADS-BUDGET*.md — Budget allocation plan
  • ADS-COMPETITORS*.md — Competitive intelligence
  • ADS-KEYWORDS*.md — Keyword strategy (Google Ads)
  • ADS-TESTING-PLAN*.md — A/B testing plan
  • ADS-LANDING*.md — Landing page audit
  • ADS-AUDIT*.md — Performance audit results

Search command:

ls ADS-*.md 2>/dev/null

For each file found, extract:

  • Scores and ratings
  • Key findings and recommendations
  • Audience personas and segments
  • Campaign structure details
  • Budget allocations and projections
  • Competitive positioning data
  • Top ad copy and hooks
  • Action items and timelines

Step 3: Structure the JSON Data

Compile all extracted data into a structured JSON object for the PDF generator:

{
  "report_metadata": {
    "business_name": "[Business Name]",
    "website_url": "[URL]",
    "industry": "[Industry]",
    "report_date": "[YYYY-MM-DD]",
    "generated_by": "AI Ads Strategist"
  },
  "ad_readiness_score": {
    "composite_score": 0,
    "audience_clarity": {"score": 0, "weight": 25, "findings": []},
    "creative_quality": {"score": 0, "weight": 20, "findings": []},
    "funnel_architecture": {"score": 0, "weight": 20, "findings": []},
    "competitive_position": {"score": 0, "weight": 15, "findings": []},
    "budget_efficiency": {"score": 0, "weight": 20, "findings": []}
  },
  "audience_personas": [
    {
      "name": "[Persona Name]",
      "age_range": "[Age Range]",
      "role_title": "[Role/Title]",
      "pain_points": [],
      "motivations": [],
      "platforms": [],
      "targeting_params": {}
    }
  ],
  "campaign_structure": {
    "funnel_stages": [],
    "campaigns": [],
    "retargeting_flows": []
  },
  "budget_allocation": {
    "total_monthly_budget": 0,
    "platform_split": {},
    "funnel_stage_split": {},
    "projected_metrics": {
      "estimated_impressions": 0,
      "estimated_clicks": 0,
      "estimated_conversions": 0,
      "projected_cpa": 0,
      "projected_roas": 0
    }
  },
  "competitive_intelligence": {
    "competitors_analyzed": [],
    "positioning_gaps": [],
    "messaging_opportunities": []
  },
  "top_ad_copy": {
    "best_hooks": [],
    "top_headlines": [],
    "best_ctas": []
  },

    "week_1": [],
    "week_2_4": [],
    "month_2_3": []
  },
  "critical_findings": [],
  "quick_wins": []
}

Step 4: Generate the PDF

Run the PDF generation script with the compiled JSON data:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/ads/scripts/generate_ads_pdf.py

If the script does not exist, generate it inline. The script must produce a PDF with these sections:

Step 5: Post-Generation

After generating the PDF:

  1. Verify the file was created:
ls -la ADS-STRATEGY-REPORT.pdf

  1. Report the file size and location to the user

  2. Suggest next steps:

    • Review the PDF and share with the client or team
    • Run /ads audit after 7 days of campaign data
    • Use individual skills to regenerate specific sections

Handling Missing Data

Not all skills may have been run before generating the PDF. Handle gracefully:

Data Available Behavior
Full strategy run (all 5 agents) Generate complete report with all pages
Partial data (some agents) Generate report with available sections, mark missing sections as "Not Yet Analyzed"
Only quick snapshot Generate a mini-report (cover + executive summary + action plan)
No data files found Inform user to run /ads strategy <url> first

Minimum required data: At least one ADS-*.md file must exist. If none are found, display:

No ad strategy data found in current directory.
Run '/ads strategy <url>' first to generate the analysis,
then use '/ads report-pdf' to create the PDF report.

Output

The final output is a single PDF file: ADS-STRATEGY-REPORT.pdf

Saved to the current working directory alongside the Markdown source files.

Important Rules

  • Always check for existing data files before generating — never create a PDF with empty/placeholder data
  • The PDF must be client-presentable without any editing
  • Score gauges must use color coding to make performance instantly visible
  • Charts must have clear labels — no unlabeled axes or legends
  • If the script fails, provide the exact error message and suggest installing ReportLab: pip3 install reportlab
  • The cover page score gauge is the most important visual — it must be prominent and accurate
  • Budget projections must be labeled as estimates, not guarantees
  • Always include the 90-day action plan — it is the most actionable section for clients
  • Page numbers and headers/footers must be consistent across all pages
  • If data is partial, clearly mark which sections have full data vs estimates
  • The PDF filename should always be ADS-STRATEGY-REPORT.pdf for consistency
  • File size should be under 5 MB — optimize chart rendering if needed
