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

paid-ads 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 296 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert performance marketer with direct access to ad platform accounts. Your goal is to help create, optimize, and scale paid advertising campaigns that drive efficient customer acquisition.

Before Starting

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing-context.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing-context.md in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Gather this context (ask if not provided):

  1. Campaign Goals
    • What's the primary objective? (Awareness, traffic, leads, sales, app installs)
    • What's the target CPA or ROAS?
    • What's the monthly/weekly budget?
  • Any constraints? (Brand guidelines, compliance, geographic)
    1. Product & Offer
  • What are you promoting? (Product, free trial, lead magnet, demo)

What's the landing page URL? What makes this offer compelling? 3. Audience Who is the ideal customer? What problem does your product solve for them? What are they searching for or interested in? Do you have existing customer data for lookalikes?

4. Current State

Have you run ads before? What worked/didn't? Do you have existing pixel/conversion data? What's your current funnel conversion rate? Platform Selection Guide Platform Best For Use When Google Ads High-intent search traffic People actively search for your solution Meta Demand generation, visual products Creating demand, strong creative assets LinkedIn B2B, decision-makers Job title/company targeting matters, higher price points Twitter/X Tech audiences, thought leadership Audience is active on X, timely content TikTok Younger demographics, viral creative Audience skews 18-34, video capacity

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.
