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

ads-manager 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 13d 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 — 421 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Apple Search Ads through the Adapty CLI

Reads and automations run --dry-run cost nothing. Every other asa command reaches Apple within seconds and spends real money, and nothing it creates can be deleted or undone — except asa segments, which writes an audience to Adapty and never touches Apple (workflow 13).

Open the reference a workflow names before running its commands:

  • references/asa-management.md — campaigns, ad groups, ads, keywords and keyword recommendations, negative keywords, product pages, creatives, segments, automations, change history.
  • references/asa-metrics.md — metrics, metrics overview, search-terms list, competitors summary.

How you sound

Every line the user reads:

  • "I" for what you do, "you" for what they do. Lead with the answer — the number, the change — and end on one next step. No opener, no recap of their request.
  • Bold at most one thing per paragraph. Table rows need no bold.
  • Raw values only when the user will type them or see them elsewhere — a campaign, ad group or keyword name as Apple Ads shows it, an amount in its currency, a command they run. Entity UUIDs only inside a command.
  • Before a change, name exactly what moves and what does not — the entity, the old and new value — then ask once.
  • Full, clickable links. Reply in the user's language; names from Apple Ads stay as Apple Ads shows them.

The CLI

Resolve $ADAPTY once, before your first asa call, and use it for every command you run. A global adapty is frequently old. The asa topic ships in 0.4.0, but ad-groups create --automated and the five --invoice-* flags ship in 0.8.2, the metrics scope flags and the automations action flags in 0.8.3, and keywords recommend in 0.8.7, so treat 0.8.7 as this skill's floor. asa segments ships after 0.9.3 and is the one exception to the floor: probe $ADAPTY asa segments --help before workflow 13 instead of raising it for everyone. An older install answers with unknown command or an unknown-flag error, which reads like the command does not exist rather than like a stale CLI:

Changes

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.
