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

app-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 8d 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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Guides app advertising: app install campaigns, user acquisition (UA), and in-app promotion. Use when promoting mobile apps (iOS, Android); conversion = install or in-app action, not landing page.

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.

Key Platforms

Platform Best for Conversion
Google App Campaigns Android + iOS; automated across Search, YouTube, Display, Play, Discover Install, in-app event
Apple Search Ads (ASA) iOS only; high-intent App Store search Install
Meta App Install Facebook/Instagram; demand gen for apps Install, in-app event
TikTok App Install Younger users; viral creative Install

Google App Campaigns

  • Reach: Search, YouTube, Display, Google Play, Discover
  • Bidding: Maximize Conversions (automated) or Target CPI/CPA (30+ conversions/week)
  • Creative: Provide diverse assets (videos, images, text); algorithm tests combinations
  • iOS: SKAdNetwork; conversion value mapping; Firebase for in-app events
  • Bid–budget ratio: ≥10× for CPI, ≥15× for CPA

Apple Search Ads

  • Placements: App Store search results, Today tab, Search tab, product pages
  • Modes: Basic (automated) or Advanced (keywords, audiences, bids)
  • Audience: High-intent users actively searching in App Store
  • ASO benefit: Can improve keyword rankings as secondary effect

Metrics

Metric Use
CPI Cost per install
CPA Cost per acquisition (in-app action)
LTV Lifetime value; iOS often higher than Android
Retention D1, D7, D30; quality signal

iOS vs Android: iOS typically higher LTV, higher CPI; Android greater scale, lower CPI.

Tracking

  • Firebase: In-app events, audiences, value-based optimization (Google)
  • SKAdNetwork: iOS attribution; configure conversion value mapping
  • UTM: Use utm_medium=app or cpc with utm_source for app campaigns in GA4

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.
