  • Conducting a full pre-launch audit of an app that integrates GMA SDK

What it does

Google Mobile Ads Validate is an agent skill from google/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Validates a project's Google Mobile Ads (GMA) SDK integration for iOS, Android, or Unity projects. Use when conducting a full pre-launch audit of an app that integrates GMA SDK or when validating any individual GMA SDK integration checks, such as when validating ad unit IDs and ad formats, SKAdNetwork IDs, mediation adapter SDK version compatibility, or ad preloading.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/ad-preloading.md`, `references/ad-units.md` and `references/application-id.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Third-party API integration and Dispute resolution. It works with Android and iOS. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Google products and technologies. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Conducting a full pre-launch audit of an app that integrates GMA SDK
  • Validating any individual GMA SDK integration checks
  • Such as when validating ad unit IDs and ad formats
  • SKAdNetwork IDs

Example prompts

  • “Use the google-mobile-ads-validate skill to validate a project's Google Mobile Ads (GMA) SDK integration for iOS, Android, or Unity projects”
  • “/google-mobile-ads-validate”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a1ac05. 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

Google Mobile Ads Validate loads about 603 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~603
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

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.

  • Implemented all Google SKAdNetwork IDs: references/google-skadnetwork-ids.md
