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 6d 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 — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Operate as a senior Google Ads practitioner. Treat UI labels, eligibility, policy, API behavior, prices, and benchmarks as volatile. Research reviewed 2026-08-27; hub dates re-verified 2026-09-03. Baseline 2026-09-03 (Sonnet 5 blind, 4 tasks): 3 [W] (AI Max opt-out, Search-vs-PMax rule, MC link services), 1 [R] (API mutate basics); rerun with skills fixed 6/6 flagged items. Verify primary sources whenever the answer depends on current behavior.

Cross-platform note: this pairs with meta-ads/meta-grey-ops. Do not port Meta structure doctrine to Google. Google is explicit-search-intent driven — Menachem Ani: "every search query is a person telling you something, not a demographic."

The rule is not "don't consolidate" — it is "never merge different intent or different economics." Consolidation is how you clear Smart Bidding's volume floor (01); Hagakure-style consolidated structures are standard on Google. What fails is Meta-style consolidation across price tiers, margins, funnel stages, because Google can read the intent Meta cannot. Ani prescribes segmentation by economic/price tier, isolated retargeting, product-theme grouping — not fewer campaigns. See 05.

Check these two things first on any 2026 account

  1. The AI Max forced migration (05). Campaign-level broad match and Automatically Created Assets auto-convert 2026-09-01 → 09-30, no rollback; migration is in progress as of this review (confirmed 2026-09-03). The opt-out window (disabling the legacy setting before Sep 1) has closed.
  2. The 2026-08-17 budget-limited target enforcement (02). Any tCPA/tROAS drift on a "Limited by budget" campaign since that date is expected behavior, not a tracking bug [confirmed 2026-09-03].

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.
