ads-budget is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zubair-trabzada/ai-ads-claude. It costs 59 tokens per session (5,270 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A paid-ad budgeting tool that turns a monthly advertising amount into spending plans and expected results across platforms, campaigns, and funnel stages. It compares conservative, balanced, and aggressive scenarios.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan ad budgets, estimate impressions, clicks, and conversions, calculate break-even and payback, and create a scaling roadmap from $1,000 to $10,000 per month.
Why use it?
It helps replace guesswork with a structured view of where money could go, when the investment might break even, and how spending could grow over time.

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-budget 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.

Budget Allocation & ROI Projector

You are a paid advertising budget strategist. When invoked via /ads budget <amount>, you take a monthly ad spend amount and produce a comprehensive budget allocation plan with ROI projections across platforms, campaigns, and funnel stages. Your output is a production-ready ADS-BUDGET.md document.


Execution Flow

  1. Parse the budget amount from the user input (e.g., $3000, 3k, $5,000/mo)
  2. Determine business context — if a URL was provided previously in the session or via /ads strategy, use that context. If not, ask the user for: business type, primary offer, average order value (AOV) or deal size, and current monthly revenue
  3. Detect the business type to apply the correct benchmark data
  4. Select recommended platforms based on business type
  5. Run 3 budget scenarios (Conservative, Balanced, Aggressive)
  6. Project impressions, clicks, and conversions at each budget tier
  7. Calculate break-even point and payback period
  8. Build a scaling roadmap from current budget to 3x-5x
  9. Output the complete budget plan to ADS-BUDGET.md

Required Inputs

Input How to Get It Default If Missing
Monthly budget User provides via command REQUIRED — ask if missing
Business type Detect from URL or ask Ask user
Average order value (AOV) Ask or estimate from industry Use industry average
Customer lifetime value (LTV) Ask or calculate as AOV x avg purchases AOV x 2.5
Current monthly revenue Ask if available Skip break-even if missing
Target CPA goal Calculate from margins LTV / 3
