What it does
Ad Spike is an agent skill from alexandremendoncaalvaro/CorridorKey-Runtime. Scaffold a staged spike with golden fixtures per WORKFLOW.md §14, for cases where the spec is clear but the technique is uncertain across multiple plausible approaches. Four stages — discovery, golden fixture, pipeline with gates, two-layer evaluation. Use when the unknown is how, not what. Triggers on "spike", "uncertain technique", "which library", "CV pipeline", "evaluate approaches", "ground truth", "golden fixture", "staged pipeline", "debug per stage". Routes to ad-ground if the how is routine and a single…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
The repository describes itself as: Native AI keying runtime and OFX plugin for DaVinci Resolve, built in collaboration with Corridor Digital.
When your agent uses it
- The unknown is how
- Uncertain technique
- Evaluate approaches
- Staged pipeline
Example prompts
- “uncertain technique”
- “which library”
- “CV pipeline”
- “/ad-spike”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e632fa5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Ad Spike loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 139 tokens; SKILL.md has 609 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 609 words (~1,474 tokens).
“Implements WORKFLOW.md §14 (Staged Spikes With Golden Fixtures) end-to-end. The skill is for cases where the spec is clear but the technique is uncertain across multiple plausible approaches. WORKFLOW §9 (TDG) assumes the path is known and validates end-to-end; §14…”

Ad Spike is an agent skill from alexandremendoncaalvaro/CorridorKey-Runtime.md §14, for cases where the spec is clear but the technique is uncertain across multiple plausible approaches.
When should I use Ad Spike?
Ad Spike fits situations like: the unknown is how; uncertain technique; evaluate approaches; staged pipeline.
How do I install Ad Spike in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add alexandremendoncaalvaro/CorridorKey-Runtime --skill ad-spike -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/ad-spike in alexandremendoncaalvaro/CorridorKey-Runtime) into .claude/skills/ad-spike in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Ad Spike in Codex?

Can I use Ad Spike in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alexandremendoncaalvaro/CorridorKey-Runtime --skill ad-spike -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ad-spike, .gemini/skills/ad-spike, .github/skills/ad-spike and .opencode/skills/ad-spike in your project.
What does Ad Spike need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Ad Spike is instructions for the agent only.
Does Ad Spike access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Ad Spike safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Ad Spike use?
Ad Spike has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Ad Spike use?
About 1.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
