What it does

Use when the user wants to reverse-engineer an existing image ad into a reusable prompt template. Validates via Arcads, picks gpt-image-2 or Nano Banana at Phase 1. Triggers on "clone this ad as a template", "reverse engineer this ad", "turn this ad into a prompt", "extract a template", "make this ad reusable", "add to my prompt library", "study this ad and make a template". Input is an EXISTING ad image; does NOT trigger for fresh generation (use chatgpt-image-ad or nano-banana-image-ad).

image-ad-clone (Arcads)

Take an existing image ad and turn it into a reusable, parameterizable prompt template that gets appended to the shared 37-template image-ad library. The template is validated by round-tripping through one of the Arcads image-ad generators, ChatGPT Image 2 (typography / UI-mimicry templates) or Nano Banana (photoreal / lifestyle / multi-reference templates).

This skill replaces the older Uni1-locked image-ad-clone (which only worked with Luma uni-1). It's backend-agnostic: at Phase 1 the agent asks you (or auto-detects from the reference) whether to validate against gpt-image-2 or Nano Banana, then routes through the matching generator script in this repo.

Read order

  1. This file, Arcads-specific generator paths, model-choice decision, what's locked at the per-repo layer.
  2. shared/skills/image-ad-clone/prompting/guide.md, the full model-agnostic 10-phase workflow (visual analysis → draft prompt → generate-with-reference → iterate → generalize → test → cross-model validate → document → save).
  3. shared/skills/image-ad-prompting/prompting/template-format.md, entry skeleton.
  4. shared/skills/image-ad-prompting/prompting/prompt-library.md, destination for the new entry. 37 validated templates already there; new entries go at T40+.

Hard rules

Inherits all 6 hard rules from the shared guide (strip platform chrome, validate by generating, test the generalized version, no brand-specific text in the final template, never silently overwrite, document model notes for both backends). Plus per-repo:

  1. Backend is one of: ChatGPT Image 2 OR Nano Banana on Arcads. Never uni-1. The script choice happens in Phase 1 once the user picks (or the agent auto-detects).
