Prompt for your agent

Goal: Build a dashboard of the Meta Ads numbers I actually care about.
Setup: agents used in source: Claude; tools/MCPs stated: Meta Marketing API.
Steps:
1. In Meta Business Settings, create a System User.
2. Give it access to your ad account and generate a token with ads_read permission.
3. Hand the token to Claude Code and tell it what you want to track (leading indicators, per-campaign and creative performance).
4. It pulls data from the Meta Marketing API and builds the dashboard around your numbers.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
Note: @dukedoesai reports £35.8k spend → £129.6k revenue, run from Claude Code (own claim).
