Plugin marketplace command not found or install fails
Ensure Claude Code is updated to a version that supports the plugin marketplace. Alternatively, use the manual clone method: git clone https://github.com/itallstartedwithaidea/agent-skills.git and reference skill files with /read.
Skills reference Google Ads API endpoints that return permission errors
Google Ads API v23 requires a developer token approved for Standard Access for most operations. Verify your developer token level in the Google Ads API Center. The skills describe operations but the agent needs your provided Google Ads API credentials to execute them.
validate-skills.sh reports missing or malformed skill files
Re-clone the repository from the canonical URL: github.com/itallstartedwithaidea/agent-skills. The original google-ads-skills repository is deprecated — make sure you are using the agent-skills repository.
