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

tiktok-shopping-ads-guide 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 1mo 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.

TikTok Shopping Ads Guide

Purpose

Help advertisers set up and optimize product-focused advertising on TikTok, including catalog-based dynamic ads, Video Shopping Ads (VSA), TikTok Shop integration, and collection ads. E-commerce on TikTok is growing at 3-4x the rate of traditional social commerce, but the technical setup and creative requirements are unique to the platform.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke when user mentions:

  • TikTok Shop: "How do I set up TikTok Shop ads?"
  • Product catalog: "How do I upload my product feed to TikTok?"
  • Dynamic product ads: "How do I retarget with product ads on TikTok?"
  • Shopping ads: "What are Video Shopping Ads?"
  • Collection ads: "How do I create collection ads on TikTok?"
  • Product feed: "My TikTok product feed has errors"

Required Tools

Tool Purpose
tiktok_query Pull campaign data, ad group configurations, and catalog status
tiktok_get_report Retrieve product-level and ad-level performance data

Part 1: TikTok Shopping Ad Formats

Automated Shopping Campaign Types

TikTok offers two automated campaign types optimized for shopping outcomes:

Campaign Type What It Does Best For
Smart+ Shopping Campaigns Fully automated targeting, bidding, and creative optimization using AI Accounts with sufficient pixel data (50+ purchases/week), hands-off scaling
GMV Max Maximizes Gross Merchandise Value across TikTok Shop organics + paid ads TikTok Shop sellers wanting to maximize total store revenue

Smart+ vs Manual: Smart+ often outperforms manual setup once the algorithm has learned (typically after 7-14 days and 50+ conversions). Start manual to establish baseline data, then test Smart+. GMV Max is only available for TikTok Shop (in-app checkout) sellers.
