Usage
Use mb-ads as an agent route. The route should read Main Branch facts before advice, then stay inside the approval gates for the work it recommends.

Best for
A planning-only Codex route for paid search, paid social, creative review, and launch preflight with spend gates intact.
Use when
- The operator asks for ads, keywords, scripts, or paid creative.
- Budget, conversion tracking, or account mutation could be involved.
- Creative needs offer, proof, and audience context before launch.
Route workflow
- Read offer, audience, proof, MoneyPath, and connector posture.
- Draft campaign or creative options with budget and tracking assumptions explicit.
- Name required checks before spend.
- Ask before launch, account mutation, tracking changes, or spend.
Safe fact commands
Run only the read-only facts needed for the route before recommending next work. Approval-gated commands belong in the plan, not the first move.
