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

ad-creative-strategy 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check-output.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.

Ad Creative Strategy

Overview

Creative is the single biggest lever in paid advertising performance. A great creative on a mediocre audience outperforms a mediocre creative on a perfect audience. This skill covers creative formats per platform, testing methodology, fatigue management, and scaling creative production.

When to Use

  • "Create ad creative for LinkedIn"

  • "Our ads are fatigued — refresh creative"
  • "What creative formats work on each platform?"
  • "Scale our ad creative production"
  • "AI-generated ad creative"

Step-by-Step Process

Phase 1: Creative Formats by Platform

LinkedIn Ads:

  • Single image: 1200x627px. 1-2 lines of text overlay. Best for: offers, events.
  • Carousel: 1080x1080px per card, 3-10 cards. Best for: storytelling, data.
  • Video: 3-30 seconds. Square (1:1) or vertical (4:5). Best for: product demos.
  • Document ads: PDF uploaded as carousel. Best for: guides, reports, templates.

Google Ads:

  • Responsive search ads: 15 headlines (30 chars), 4 descriptions (90 chars). Google mixes and optimizes. Feed all 15 — more assets = better performance.
  • Display: 1200x628, 300x250, 728x90, 160x600. Static or HTML5.
  • YouTube: 15-30 seconds skippable. Hook in first 5 seconds.

Meta (FB/IG):

  • Feed: 1080x1080 (square) or 1080x1350 (vertical). Video or static.
  • Stories: 1080x1920 (full vertical). 15 seconds max.
  • Lead forms: same creative specs, plus form questions.

TikTok:

  • 9:16 vertical video. 15-60 seconds. Native-looking (not polished corporate).
  • Hook in first 2 seconds. Text overlay. Captions. Trending audio optional.

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.
