SKILL.md CLI

The @flyweel/skill CLI installs SKILL.md files into your AI coding agent. SKILL.md files give agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf specialised capabilities without writing custom prompts.

Using Skills with Flyweel MCP

The flyweel-mcp-deep-ad-analysis skill works together with the Flyweel MCP server. Here’s how to set up both:

1. Get your API token

Sign up at signup.flyweel.co/mcp (free, no credit card). Then go to app.flyweel.co > Settings > API Tokens and create a token.

2. Connect the MCP server

Follow the setup guide for your agent:

3. Install the MCP skill

Terminal window
npx @flyweel/skill install flyweel-mcp-deep-ad-analysis

4. Connect your ad platforms

Open your agent and ask:

Connect my Google Ads account to Flyweel.

The skill will walk you through the OAuth flow to link Google Ads, Meta Ads, or both.

5. Start querying

Once connected, the skill handles MCP tool orchestration automatically. Try:

Show me a performance overview for all ad accounts this month.
Which campaigns have the highest CPA in the last 30 days?
Compare Google Ads vs Meta Ads CPL for Q1.

The skill batches up to 5 MCP queries per request and applies senior media buying analysis frameworks to the results.

The ad-performance-analyser-flyweel skill does not require MCP. It works with any data you paste into your agent (CSV exports, screenshots, API responses). Install it separately if you want offline analysis alongside live MCP queries.


What Is a SKILL.md?

A SKILL.md is a portable markdown file that gives AI coding agents domain-specific knowledge and structured workflows. It contains:

  • Context: Background knowledge the agent needs (e.g. ad platform benchmarks, analysis frameworks)
  • Instructions: Step-by-step workflows the agent follows when triggered
  • Guardrails: Rules that keep the agent on track (e.g. batch MCP queries, check data quality first)

SKILL.md files are open-source and work across all major AI coding agents without modification.
