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

shopify-app-store-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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Shopify App Store Ads

Use App Store ads to test qualified merchant acquisition, not to buy superficial installs. Treat the Shopify Partner Dashboard and current Shopify documentation as the authority for eligibility, available placements, bid behavior, billing, and reporting.

Ground Rules

  1. Verify that the app is publicly published and eligible before proposing launch. An active development version is not evidence of a public App Store listing or advertising eligibility.
  2. Research live platform rules before acting. Start with Shopify's App Store ads documentation, then verify the visible Partner Dashboard controls for the specific app.
  3. Use community sources (Reddit, reviews, founder posts) to form keyword, pain-point, and creative hypotheses. Label them as anecdotal; do not present them as Shopify policy or benchmark data.
  4. Never create, enable, or materially raise a paid campaign without the user's explicit confirmation of the currency, daily cap, total test cap, and stop date. Do not infer approval from a request to "run ads."
  5. Never call a campaign live from an API response, draft state, or local configuration alone. Confirm its visible dashboard status, targeting, budget, billing readiness, and landing/listing preview.
  6. Do not promise customers or return on ad spend before enough cohort time has passed. Distinguish clicks, installs, trials, activated merchants, and paid customers.

Readiness Gate

Collect these facts before recommending spend:

  • Public App Store listing URL, app status, category, supported geographies, and current price/trial terms.
  • Listing conversion evidence: title, tagline, screenshots, review count/rating, pricing clarity, and a merchant-facing promise that matches the target query.
  • A working install-to-value path: first-run activation event, billing/trial event, and paid-conversion event. Name the exact analytics source and event names; do not invent them.
  • Unit economics: monthly plan(s), gross margin, expected paid retention, acceptable payback window, and the maximum customer-acquisition cost (CAC).
  • Partner account access, ad billing readiness, and the person authorized to approve spend.

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.
