## Description

Guides developers through managing (adding, removing, and clearing) audience members for Google products using the Data Manager API and its associated client libraries. Use this skill when the user wants to upload audience members, remove specific users, or clear/replace an entire audience for Customer Match, mobile device ID audiences, or any other audience use case supported by the Data Manager API. Don't use for uploading events or conversions (use the data-manager-api-event-ingestion skill).

## Implementation Workflow

### Prerequisites

-   **Authentication & Library Installation**: If you need to set up access to
    the Data Manager API or install the client and utility libraries, refer to
    the `data-manager-api-setup` skill.
-   **Audience Creation (if needed)**: If the user does not have an existing
    audience or needs to create a new one, use the
    [Create an Audience](references/create-audience.md) reference. This step
    provides the `product_destination_id` needed for the ingestion or removal
    requests.

### Step 1: Identify Use Case & Read Documentation

-   **Determine Destination Account Type**: [CRITICAL] If it's not clear where
    the data is being sent (e.g., Google Ads, Display & Video 360, etc.), STOP
    and CLARIFY with the user BEFORE generating any code. Do not assume Google
    Ads by default. This maps to the `account_type` field of the
    `operating_account` in the `Destination`.
-   **Read the implementation guide**: Read the relevant guide for your
    destination and use case. Do this before answering questions or writing code
    because each destination has unique payload structures, consent rules, and
    required fields.
