* fix: remove duplicate scripts from deprecated content-creator
Scripts already live in content-production/scripts/. The content-creator
directory is now a pure redirect (SKILL.md only + legacy assets/refs).
* fix: scope VirusTotal scan to executable files only
Skip scanning .md, .py, .json, .yml — they're plain text files
that VirusTotal can't meaningfully analyze. This prevents 429 rate
limit errors on PRs with many text file changes (like 42 marketing skills).
Scan still covers: .js, .ts, .sh, .mjs, .cjs, .exe, .dll, .so, .bin, .wasm

Platform Specs — Ad Copy Character Limits and Format Requirements
Full specifications for each major ad platform. Use this when generating or validating ad copy.
Google Ads
Responsive Search Ads (RSA)
| Element | Limit | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headline | 30 chars | Up to 15 (min 3) | At least 3 unique, Google mixes them |
| Description | 90 chars | Up to 4 (min 2) | Google selects 2 to show |
| Display URL path | 15 chars each | 2 path fields | Auto-appended to domain |
| Final URL | No char limit | 1 | Must match domain in display URL |
Pinning: You can pin headlines to position 1, 2, or 3. Only pin when critical (e.g., brand name, compliance disclaimer). Pinning reduces Google's optimization.
Ad Strength: Google scores RSAs: Poor / Average / Good / Excellent. Target "Good" or "Excellent" by:
- Using all 15 headline slots
- Making headlines unique (no repeats, no same keywords)
- Including your main keyword in at least 3 headlines
- Using descriptions that complement, not repeat, headlines
Performance Max (PMax)
| Element | Limit | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Headline | 30 chars | Up to 5 |
| Long headline | 90 chars | Up to 5 |
| Description | 90 chars | Up to 5 |
| Short description | 60 chars | 1 |
Display Ads (Responsive)
| Element | Limit | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Short headline | 30 chars | 1 |
| Long headline | 90 chars | 1 |
| Description | 90 chars | 1 |
| Business name | 25 chars | 1 |
Meta (Facebook & Instagram)
Feed Ads (Single Image / Carousel)
| Element | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Primary text | 125 chars (preview) / 2200 max | First 125 shown before "See more" |
| Headline | 40 chars | Shown below image |
| Description | 30 chars | Optional, below headline |
| Link description | 20 chars | URL preview |
Image text rule: Images with >20% text surface area get reduced distribution. Meta's tool at meta.com/ads/inspector/ checks this. Keep text minimal on images — put copy in the primary text field.
Story / Reel Ads
| Element | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Primary text overlay | 90 chars | Auto-placed if used |
| No traditional headline | — | Overlay text is the copy |
Carousel Ads
| Element | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Primary text | 125 chars (preview) | Shared across cards |
| Headline per card | 40 chars | Each card has own headline |
| Description per card | 20 chars | Optional |
| Cards | 2–10 |
Rejection triggers (Meta):
- "Facebook" or "Instagram" in ad copy
- Guarantees of specific financial outcomes ("Make $10k/month")
- Before/after comparison (health/beauty)
- Excessive use of first-person pronouns targeting users ("you," "your" in a way that implies personal attributes)
- ALL CAPS in any significant portion
- Exaggerated health claims
- Click-bait phrasing ("You won't believe...", "Click to find out...")
Sponsored Content (Single Image)
| Element | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Intro text | 150 chars (preview) / 600 max | First 150 visible before "See more" |
| Headline | 70 chars | |
| Description | 100 chars | Optional |
Message Ads (InMail)
| Element | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Subject line | 60 chars | |
| Body | 1,500 chars | First 500 most critical |
| CTA button | 20 chars |
Conversation Ads
| Element | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Intro message | 500 chars | |
| CTA per branch | 25 chars | Up to 5 buttons |
| Message body per branch | 500 chars |
LinkedIn-specific rules:
- No "Click here" as standalone CTA
- No images with more than 20% text
- No misleading job descriptions or recruitment bait
- Avoid generic corporate language — LinkedIn users are saturated with it
- B2B works better when you lead with a specific insight or stat, not a product pitch
Twitter/X
Promoted Tweets
| Element | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tweet text | 280 chars total | URL counts as 23 chars |
| Usable copy | ~257 chars | After URL deduction |
| Image | Any ratio | 1200×628 recommended |
Twitter-specific notes:
- Copy + URL + image works in the feed
- Lead with the hook — first 15 words matter most (above-the-fold on mobile)
- Hashtags are optional for paid — they distract from the CTA
TikTok
In-Feed Ads
| Element | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ad text / caption | 100 chars | Overlaid on video |
| Video length | 5–60 seconds (optimal 15–30s) | |
| Mention/hashtag | Avoid branded hashtags | Policy restriction |
TikTok-specific notes:
- Hook must land in the first 3 seconds — after that, thumb stops
- Native-feeling content outperforms polished ads (not always better to use brand assets)
- Text on screen increases time-watched
- CTA button text: "Shop Now," "Learn More," "Download," "Sign Up" are options
Common Rejection Triggers (All Platforms)
| Trigger | Why It Gets Rejected | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| ALL CAPS words | Flagged as aggressive/spam | Use title case or sentence case |
| Excessive punctuation | !!!, ???, ... — looks spammy | One at most |
| "#1" claims | Superlatives require proof | Remove or qualify |
| "Guaranteed" | Financial/result guarantees restricted | "Proven to" or show results data |
| Trademarked terms | Platform + competitor names | Remove or get written permission |
| Profanity | Obvious | Remove |
| "Click here" | Considered low-quality bait | Use specific CTA |
| Personal attributes | "You are depressed," "For single people" | Rephrase without identifying attributes |
| Misleading discounts | "90% off" without context | Substantiate or remove |
Platform Comparison — Which Platform for Which Creative?
| Use case | Best platform | Why |
|---|---|---|
| High intent, search-driven | Google Search RSA | Users are already looking |
| Visual product with broad audience | Meta Feed | Best visual reach, lowest CPM for B2C |
| B2B decision-makers | Job title + company size targeting | |
| Young consumer audience, viral potential | TikTok | Organic-native feel, high engagement |
| Real-time relevance, news-adjacent | Twitter/X | Timely content performs |
| Retargeting across the web | Google Display | Broad reach, cheap retargeting |
