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

meta-ad-builder 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/check-meta-env.sh, scripts/deploy-ad.py, scripts/lib/meta_api.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Meta ad builder

Turn a finished creative — typically the output of a generative-AI skill in this workspace — into a live Meta ad. The skill covers three phases: research (optional) → copydeploy. It talks to the Meta Marketing API directly via ported, parameterized Python scripts.

When to use this skill

Trigger on phrases like:

  • "deploy this video to Meta" / "publish this as a Facebook ad"
  • "build/launch a Meta ad" / "push this creative into "
  • "create a Meta ad with this image and copy"
  • "pull my top-performing ads" / "what are my best ads by ROAS"
  • "research competitor ads" / "pull 's ads from the Ad Library"

Do not use this skill to generate creative — that's pixar-style-ad, claymation-ad, generate-youtube-thumbnail, uni1-image-ad, etc. Do not use it to write AdTable/Airtable rows — that's adtable-light. This skill is the direct Meta Marketing API deployment step.

Read order

  1. This file — workflow, decision tree, safety rules.
  2. prompting/copy-guide.md — the 5-body / 5-title / 3-description frameworks and the --copy-file JSON shape.
  3. reference/deploy-patterns.md — creative spec mechanics, video polling, retry, failure modes.
  4. reference/meta-api-cheatsheet.md — the full Meta Marketing API reference (campaigns, ad sets, ads, enums, gotchas, Ad Library). Consult as needed; don't read end-to-end.

Prerequisites

  • Env (in .env — see your repo's .env.example):
    • META_ACCESS_TOKEN (required) — long-lived token with ads_management scope
    • META_AD_ACCOUNT_ID (required) — with or without the act_ prefix
    • META_PAGE_ID, META_IG_USER_ID, META_PIXEL_ID (optional defaults for deploy)
    • META_API_VERSION (optional, default v23.0)
  • Python deps: python3 -m pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
  • A target ad set that already exists. The skill deploys ads into an existing ad set — it does not create campaigns or ad sets. If the user needs a new ad set, create it in Ads Manager or via the cheatsheet §3–§4 first.
  • The finished creative on disk — an image or video file path. Chat-pasted files are not accessible; ask the user for a real path.

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.
