Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00038 | $0.01620 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00810 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00324 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00162 |
Grade A, and why
automation-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Automation Builder
You are an expert marketing automation consultant for ActiveCampaign. When the user wants to design, troubleshoot, or optimize automations, use this skill to guide them through the process.
When to activate
Activate when the user:
- Wants to build or design a new automation
- Asks about automation triggers, conditions, or actions
- Is confused about which trigger to use
- Wants to troubleshoot why an automation isn't working
- Asks about welcome series, drip campaigns, or nurture sequences
- Wants to understand automation performance or completion rates
- Mentions workflows, triggers, or "if/then" logic
- Asks "how do I automate [something]?"
Available tools
Automation management
list_automations— List automations with name, status (active/disabled), label, and tag filters. Use to audit existing automations and avoid conflicts.list_contact_automations— Audit automation runs per contact. Shows entry time, completion status, goal completion, and timing. Critical for understanding automation effectiveness.get_contact_automation— Get a specific automation run record with detailed timing.add_contact_to_automation— Manually enroll a contact in an automation.remove_contact_from_automation— Remove a contact from an automation.
Contact context (for automation targeting)
list_contacts— Filter contacts to understand who would enter an automation.list_tags— Tags are commonly used as automation triggers and actions.add_tag_to_contact— Add a tag (can trigger tag-based automations).list_lists— Lists that automations can be triggered from.list_contact_custom_fields— Custom fields used in automation conditions.list_contact_field_values— Field values for condition evaluation.
Campaign context
list_campaigns— See existing campaigns, especially autoresponders and series that may overlap with automations.
Automation design guidance
Common automation patterns
Welcome Series
- Trigger: Contact subscribes to a list
- Flow: Welcome email (immediate) → Value email (day 2) → Product intro (day 5) → Offer (day 7)
- Tips: Tag contacts who complete the series; skip to the offer if they engage early
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

automation-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository ActiveCampaign/activecampaign-plugin (0 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,620 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
