pixel-capi

pixel-capi is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TheMattBerman/meta-ads-kit. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,681 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup and checking guide for Meta Pixel, a browser tracking code, and Conversions API, which sends advertising events from your server. It covers matching browser and server events and improving event-quality scores.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install or audit browser and server tracking, test events, configure duplicate-event handling, and improve data sent to Meta advertising platforms.
Why use it?
It helps find gaps in ad conversion tracking when browsers, ad blockers, or privacy settings hide some events. It also helps prevent the same purchase or lead from being counted twice.

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

pixel-capi scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/capi-send.sh, scripts/capi-test.sh, scripts/emq-check.sh, …), 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 287 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pixel + CAPI -- Your Server-Side Signal Stack

The browser pixel alone is broken. iOS 14.5 killed 30-50% of signal. Ad blockers take another 20-30%. Cookie deprecation is finishing the job.

The fix is Conversions API (CAPI) -- server-side event sending that runs parallel to the browser pixel, shares event IDs for deduplication, and passes hashed user data that browsers can't block.

This skill audits, sets up, tests, and optimizes your Meta Pixel + CAPI stack. Target: 9.3+ EMQ on Purchase, 8.0+ on Lead.

Always read references/pixel-capi-reference.md first. That doc is the full knowledge base. Scripts automate the work; the reference doc explains the why.


Brand Memory Integration

Reads: workspace/brand/stack.md for stored pixel IDs and account IDs

File What it provides
workspace/brand/stack.md Stored pixel ID, ad account ID, platform type

Writes:

File What it contains
workspace/brand/stack.md Appends pixel ID, EMQ scores, platform config
workspace/brand/learnings.md Appends EMQ findings, platform gotchas, fixes applied

Core Concepts (Read Before Acting)

Before running any script, load references/pixel-capi-reference.md for:

  • Why pixel + CAPI together is non-negotiable in 2026
  • How deduplication works (shared event_id between browser and server)
  • EMQ scoring weights (em > ph > fn+ln > fbp/fbc > ip+ua)
  • Platform-specific gotchas (Next.js hydration, Shopify checkout limits, etc.)

Key principle: Never send PII unhashed. Scripts handle SHA-256 hashing automatically. If implementing manually, hash everything: lowercase, trim whitespace, then sha256sum.


Workflow

1. Audit an Existing Pixel

Check what's configured, what's missing, infer EMQ.

Run: scripts/pixel-audit.sh <account_id_or_pixel_id>

If given an ad account ID (e.g., act_123456): lists all pixels, audits each. If given a pixel ID directly: audits that pixel only.

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.
