'puts together' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'poster detective superintendent' is the wordplay.
'poster' becomes 'ad' (short for advert).
'detective superintendent' becomes 'ds' (this could be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'ad'+'ds'='ADDS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adds that I've seen before include "Finds the sum (4)," , "Tots up" , "Puts in; tacks on" , "Does summer job" , "Appends or increases" .)
