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

google-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 — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Guides Google Ads setup, campaign structure, keyword targeting, and optimization. Google Ads excels at high-intent search traffic; use when people actively search for your solution.

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.

Two Modes: PMF Testing vs Conversion-Driven

Mode When Budget Landing page Metrics
PMF testing Pre-PMF; validate idea before building $47–500; start small Simple LP: headline, benefits, problem solved, CTA ("Join Waitlist," "Get Early Access") CTR, sign-up rate, bounce rate; low CTR/high bounce = messaging/positioning issue
Conversion-driven PMF validated; commercialization Scale; ROAS target Full funnel; ad-to-page alignment ROAS, CAC, conversion rate

PMF testing: No full product needed. Build landing page with Unbounce, Carrd, or Webflow. Run ads to relevant search terms; measure clicks, engagement, signups. Test messaging (e.g., "Fastest App for Freelancers" vs "Simplest Time Tracker for Teams"), pricing (different price points in ads/LP), and audiences (keyword targeting, in-market). Allow 4–6 weeks for PMax learning phase. Use as learning tool, not just marketing channel.

Campaign Structure

Account
├── Campaign: Brand (Search)
├── Campaign: Non-Brand (Search)
├── Campaign: Competitor (Search) — optional; bid on competitor brand + "alternative"/"vs"
├── Campaign: Retargeting (Display)
└── Campaign: Performance Max

Competitor Brand Keywords

When: Bid on "[Competitor] alternative," "[Competitor] vs [You]" to intercept high-intent traffic. Google allows competitor terms as keywords; you cannot use competitor names in ad copy without permission.

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.
