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

tiktok-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 9d 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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Guides TikTok Ads setup, creative strategy, and optimization. TikTok excels at younger demographics (18–34) and viral-style video; use when your audience skews young and you have video creative capacity.

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.

Why TikTok

  • Demographics: 18–34; Gen Z and younger millennials
  • Creative velocity: Short-form; native feel; UGC-style performs well
  • Cost: Often lower CPM than Meta for reach
  • Engagement: High watch time; sound-on culture

Ad Formats

Format Use
In-Feed Native video; 9–15s or longer; primary format
TopView First impression; premium; awareness
Spark Ads Boost organic posts; native; creator partnership
Collection Product catalog; e-commerce

Creative Best Practices

  • Hook (0–3s): Pattern interrupt; question; bold statement
  • Vertical: 9:16 for feed; native to platform
  • Sound: Music and captions matter; many watch with sound
  • UGC-style: Authentic; less polished often outperforms
  • First 3 seconds: Determine if they watch

Targeting

Type Use
Interest Broad; algorithm-driven
Demographics Age; gender; location
Lookalike Based on converters or engagers
Retargeting Website visitors; video viewers

Tracking

  • TikTok Pixel + Events API: Server-side for better attribution
  • UTM: Consistent parameters for cross-platform comparison

Budget & Bidding

  • Minimum: Varies by objective
  • Bidding: Start manual; switch to automated with conversion volume
  • Creative volume: Plan for high refresh cadence; creative is main lever

Pre-Launch Checklist

  • Pixel installed; Events API configured
  • Vertical video creative (9:16)
  • Hook in first 3 seconds
  • Captions included
  • Conversion events defined

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.
