Ad Distribution (Stage 4)

Use this skill when the owner has approved creative and needs to plan where it goes and how it ships, organic posts across channels plus paid media, on one reusable spine. This is the WHERE and HOW-IT- SHIPS planner. It does not generate creative and it is not the QA gate.

This skill owns the distribution PLAN and POLICY and composes the plumbing; it does not re-implement the poster or the social scheduler (it drives oneclick / Postiz and composes social-media-strategist).

• For the actual posting, drive the oneclick pipeline or Postiz. Do not hand-post. The self-hosted poster is the project's One-Click distribution code at <HOME>/AI Advertising/pipeline (package oneclick): a durable publish state machine (publisher.py, publish_gate.py) with a DB-enforced brand-safety gate (gate.py, gate_telegram.py, gate_auto.py) and live-tested X, YouTube, and email-newsletter-platform adapters under oneclick/adapters/. Postiz is the OSS backbone (AGPL, 16+ channels, ships REST + MCP + agent CLI) for the channels oneclick does not cover yet.
• For cross-platform calendars and audience building, compose social-media-strategist (it plans the posting cadence, the audience growth play, and the thought-leadership angle per platform).
• Invoked by ai-ad-pipeline as Stage 4. It is the Distribution step of that workflow.
