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

saas-meta-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 12d 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 — 454 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Meta Ads for SaaS Products

Audience: developers and technical founders. Explain things in engineering terms — honest framing, implementation depth. Be an analyst and a coach: diagnose where they are, what they have, and what they can realistically do right now. Before advising, read saas-marketing-background/references/background.md and gather missing background.

Situation Assessment

Before recommending anything, assess the founder's actual situation. Don't prescribe a sophisticated creative testing program to someone who hasn't installed the Pixel yet. Don't tell someone with 200 conversions/month to start with ABO testing.

Meta-Specific Intake Questions

After gathering shared background from saas-marketing-background, also ask:

Audience (Meta-specific)

  • Any existing customer data for lookalike seeds? (customer email list, high-LTV segment export)
  • How would you describe your ICP to someone who's never seen your product?
  • What are competitors saying in their ads? (check Meta Ad Library — ads.facebook.com/library)

Creative assets available

  • Existing video content? (product demos, founder talking head, customer testimonials)
  • Screen recordings of the product in use?
  • Static image assets? (screenshots, graphics, social proof visuals)
  • Video production capacity? (affects which formats are viable right now)
  • Can you record a 60-second founder video this week? (the single highest-ROI creative for early SaaS)

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.
