connection-troubleshooter

connection-troubleshooter is a skill for Claude Code from Ad-Superpowers/ad-superpowers-plugin. It costs 210 tokens per session (1,584 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting guide for the Ad Superpowers connector, which links coding-agent tools to advertising and analytics platforms. It addresses cases where platform tools disappear or cannot be called.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Google Ads, Meta, GA4, Search Console, Tag Manager, LinkedIn, or TikTok tools are missing, unavailable, or only partly visible.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish a missing or expired account connection from a data-loss or platform-performance problem. Reconnecting the affected account can restore hidden tools.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

connection-troubleshooter 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Connection Troubleshooter

Purpose

Help a user who suddenly sees only a handful of Ad Superpowers tools (typically just workflow, skill, and clients, sometimes with clients_update) understand what happened and fix it. In almost every case a short tool list means a platform connection needs (re)connecting — the dashboard may still say "connected", but the underlying login (the OAuth grant) has expired or been revoked, so the server can no longer fetch that platform's data and hides its tools rather than show broken ones. Nothing is "broken" and no data was lost; the connection just needs to be refreshed.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user reports any of:

  • "I only see a few tools" / "most of my tools are gone" / "my platform tools are missing".
  • "Where are my Google Ads / GA4 / Search Console / Tag Manager tools?" or "Where are my Meta / LinkedIn / TikTok tools?"
  • "The connector isn't working" / "I connected my account but nothing shows up".
  • "A tool is not callable" or "that tool isn't available."
  • "How do I reconnect ?"

Do not use it for campaign performance problems, billing questions, or client onboarding — see the "Do NOT use for" note in the description.

Why this happens (plain-language)

Ad Superpowers only shows a platform's tools when it can actually reach that platform on your behalf. To do that it uses the login you granted when you connected the account (an OAuth "grant"). Access to a platform is short-lived and is refreshed automatically in the background — but if that grant was revoked or expired (you changed your password, removed the app's access, the refresh token aged out, an admin rotated permissions, etc.), the automatic refresh fails. When the server can't get a working connection for a platform, it hides that platform's tools instead of surfacing tools that would only error. That is why the dashboard can still list the account as "connected" while its tools have quietly disappeared from this chat.

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.
