amazon-example-ppc-skill

amazon-example-ppc-skill is a skill for Codex from nospicyplease/amazon-ppc-advanced-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,042 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An unfinished skill template for Amazon pay-per-click advertising, where sellers pay to show product ads. Its text is still a placeholder describing information a future workflow should collect.

In plain words
What is it for?
It appears intended for analysing Amazon Ads campaigns, search terms, spending, inventory, and profitability, but the supplied content is incomplete.
Why use it?
It does not yet define a usable workflow, so it cannot reliably guide an agent through an Amazon advertising task.

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

amazon-example-ppc-skill 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 11d 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.

Amazon Example PPC Skill

Purpose

Replace this with the operator job. A good purpose explains the decision the skill supports, the Amazon entities it reasons about, and the business outcome it protects or improves.

Examples:

  • Find search terms ready for exact-match harvesting.
  • Diagnose wasted spend without cutting strategic defense traffic.
  • Build an inventory-aware PPC scaling plan.

Required Inputs

Gather, derive, or mark unavailable:

  • Marketplace, profile/account, currency, timezone, ASIN and campaign scope.
  • Exact analysis window and comparison period.
  • Relevant Amazon Ads reports and metrics.
  • Retail readiness: inventory, Featured Offer / Buy Box, price, reviews, rating, delivery promise, listing status, and conversion.
  • Unit economics or target thresholds when profitability matters.
  • BSR, organic rank, total sales, and competitor context when rank or incrementality matters.
  • Known changes: bids, budgets, placements, negatives, launches, pauses, listings, pricing, promotions, and inventory events.

Data Schema

Document the minimum useful fields for this skill. Replace this placeholder with a concise schema, for example:

  • Entity fields: ASIN, campaign ID, ad group ID, keyword ID, target ID, search term, match type, placement, state.
  • Performance fields: spend, sales, orders, impressions, clicks, CTR, CPC, CVR, ACoS, ROAS.
  • Retail fields: inventory, Featured Offer / Buy Box, price, reviews, rating, margin, BSR, total sales.
  • Context fields: date window, comparison window, marketplace, currency, timezone, recent changes.

Safety Gates

Before recommending execution, classify the case as Actionable, Directional, or Non-actionable.

Do not recommend bid, budget, placement, negative, pause, relaunch, or campaign-creation actions unless:

  • The data is fresh enough for the decision.
  • The entity has enough volume for the claim.
  • The action is specific and reversible or clearly risk-assessed.
  • Missing margin, inventory, Featured Offer / Buy Box, retail readiness, total sales, or BSR data does not materially change the recommendation.
  • The recommendation includes monitoring or rollback criteria.

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.
