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-plan 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 8d 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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This skill is for building from scratch or cleaning up a messy account before the mess compounds.

Read first:

  • google-ads/references/operator-thesis.md
  • google-ads/references/intent-map.md
  • google-ads/references/query-patterns.md
  • google-ads/references/structure-playbook.md
  • google-ads/references/rsa-playbook.md
  • google-ads/references/budget-playbook.md
  • google-ads/references/deliverable-templates.md
  • google-ads/references/benchmarks.md

Read workspace if available:

  • workspace/ads/goals.md
  • workspace/ads/intent-map.md
  • workspace/ads/learnings.md

Data Acquisition

Connected Mode (for rebuilds)

If the account already exists and has data, pull audit-level queries to understand current state before planning the rebuild. Use the same queries as the audit skill.

Export Mode / New Account

If building from scratch:

  • No account data needed
  • Gather: business model, offer, target audience, budget, geographic targets, existing keyword research
  • Optionally: competitor URLs, existing landing pages, previous performance data

Planning Mode (no existing account)

For brand-new accounts, this skill runs without MCP at all. The intelligence comes from:

  • Business context gathered from the user
  • Intent Map framework (hypothesized, validated later)
  • Reference playbooks for structure, copy, and budget

Process

  1. Announce mode (connected rebuild / new account planning).
  2. Clarify business model, offer, KPI, and budget reality.
  3. Identify the most important intent buckets.
  4. Design campaign architecture around commercial meaning, not cosmetic neatness.
  5. Define what should be split, merged, or excluded from the start.
  6. Recommend:
    • Campaign structure
    • Ad group logic
    • Negative logic (day-one exclusions)
    • RSA/message direction
    • Budget posture
  7. Write planning notes to workspace memory.

Core Planning Questions

  • What search intents matter enough to deserve their own buckets?
  • Which intents should never share one bid/copy/LP bucket?
  • What should be excluded from day one?
  • What does the budget realistically support?
  • Where should simplicity beat ideal segmentation?

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.
