In short:
ak-marketing-ideassearches a catalog of marketing ideas split into 17 channel groups, ranks them by how well they fit your product, stage and resources, then gives you only as many ideas as you need. Each idea comes with how to start and a test and stop rule. For deeper work it points you to skills such asak-competitor,ak-free-tool-strategyandak-ab-test-setup. It does not run campaigns for you.
Disclosure: I maintain AgentKit and have an affiliate relationship with it: the AgentKit link in this post is an affiliate link; buying through it gets you 30% off.
Summary
Use it when you have a software product and ask "how should I promote this?", especially when money, people and time are limited. You do not need it when you have already picked a channel and only need to write the content: for comparison pages, email sequences or free tools, use the related skill.

C --> E["Related skills: competitor comparison, free tool, A/B test"]
C --> F["SEO and email skills you have installed"]Four things to know to use it well:
| Point | Question | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Input: product or niche | Which product are the ideas for, and who are the customers? | /ak-marketing-ideas Appointment booking app for small barber shops |
| Stage and resources | What stage are you at, and how much money, people and time do you have? | Not launched yet, budget close to zero, one person. At this point it leans toward a waitlist with friend referrals and early access, not paid ads or conferences. |
| Ranking by fit | Out of many ideas, which ones are worth trying first? | If the product has no traffic yet, ideas that need existing traffic rank low. It also weighs: does it fit the audience, are there enough resources, is there evidence, what will you learn from the test. |
| Test and stop rule | How do you know an idea works, and when should you drop it? | "Measure waitlist signups over <number of weeks>, spend at most <amount>. Below <threshold>, stop or change the message." |
Examples in the catalog are only suggestions. They do not prove an idea will work for your product. Any result figure that gets quoted needs checking against a source with a clear date and scope.
Sample prompt for a product about to launch:
/ak-marketing-ideas <product name>: an invoicing tool for freelancers.
Stage: not launched yet, launching in 6 weeks.
Budget: under <amount>/month, one part-time marketer.
Goal: 300 waitlist signups before launch day.This skill has no flags. The only argument is a description of your product or niche, typed right after the command name.
Below is the detailed version: the run flow, 5 situations with prompts (about to launch, almost no budget, not sure what you want, a big competitor owns the market, a product for developers), how to write the argument, the change history by ak release, and common pitfalls. The detailed version and the interactive page are for subscribers. Your agent can also search them through the portal's MCP.
