These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

affiliate-marketing 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 — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Channels: Affiliate

Guides affiliate marketing strategy for AI/SaaS products. Affiliate marketing uses a CPS (Cost Per Sale) model—pay only when sales occur. ROI typically 5:1 to 10:1; CAC 40%–50% lower than paid ads.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for product, audience, and positioning.

Identify:

  1. Product type: SaaS, AI tool, subscription
  2. Commission model: Pay-per-sale, pay-per-lead, pay-per-click
  3. Target affiliates: Content creators, publishers, coupon sites

Commission Models

Model Use Typical Rate
Pay-per-sale Most common; pay on conversion 10%–20%
Pay-per-lead Lead gen (signup, form fill) $5–50/lead
Pay-per-click Rare; risk of abuse $0.01–10.50/click

For SaaS: Prefer pay-per-sale or pay-per-lead. Recurring commissions for subscriptions.

Key Terms

Term Definition
Cookie duration Attribution window (typically 30–90 days)
Recurring commission Ongoing % from subscription renewals
Sub-affiliate Affiliates who recruit other affiliates
Performance bonus Extra reward when affiliate hits sales targets
Attribution Linking sale to correct affiliate

Promotion Channels

  • Content creators: Bloggers, YouTubers, podcasters, social influencers
  • Publishers: Media, niche sites, email newsletters
  • Coupon/cashback: Price-sensitive users; see discount-marketing-strategy for code strategy
  • Professional affiliates: Agencies managing multiple programs
  • Communities: Facebook Groups, Discord, Reddit, forums
  • Existing customers: Word-of-mouth via referral rewards
