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

ads-audit 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 13d 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.

Ad Performance Auditor

Skill Purpose

Analyze existing ad campaign performance from user-provided data (screenshots, descriptions, or metrics). Evaluate key performance indicators against industry benchmarks, detect creative fatigue and audience overlap, identify budget waste, and provide prioritized optimization recommendations ranked by expected impact. This is a diagnostic tool — it tells you what is working, what is broken, and what to fix first.

When to Use

  • User wants to audit their existing ad campaigns
  • User shares ad performance data (screenshots, CSV, or described metrics)
  • User asks "why aren't my ads working?" or "how can I improve my ads?"
  • User wants to know if their ad spend is efficient
  • User has been running ads for 7+ days and wants a performance check
  • Triggered by /ads audit or /ads audit <platform>

Data Collection

Step 1: Gather Performance Data

Ask the user to provide their ad data in any of these formats:

Option A: Key Metrics (Manual Input) Ask for these metrics per campaign/ad set:

Metric What to Ask
Platform Which platform (Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.)?
Campaign Objective What's the campaign optimized for (awareness, traffic, conversions, leads)?
Time Period How long has this campaign been running? Date range?
Spend Total amount spent in this period
Impressions Total impressions
Reach Unique people reached (if available)
Clicks Total clicks (link clicks, not all clicks)
CTR Click-through rate (or calculate from impressions/clicks)
CPC Cost per click
Conversions Total conversions (purchases, leads, sign-ups)
Conversion Rate Landing page conversion rate
CPA/CPL Cost per acquisition or cost per lead
ROAS Return on ad spend (revenue / spend)
Frequency Average times each person saw the ad
Ad Creative Type Image, video, carousel, etc.

Option B: Screenshot Analysis If the user shares screenshots of their ad dashboard:

  • Extract all visible metrics from the screenshot
  • Note which metrics are missing
  • Ask follow-up questions for critical missing data

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.
