What it does
Ext Version is an agent skill from googleads/google-ads-api-developer-assistant. Retrieves the current version of the Google Ads API Developer Assistant from plugin.json.
Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/get_extension_version.py` and `scripts/get_latest_api_version.py`).
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Paid advertising and Hooks and plugins. It works with Google Ads. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Paid advertising
- Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins
Example prompts
- “Use the ext-version skill to retrieve the current version of the Google Ads API Developer Assistant from plugin.json”
- “/ext-version”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Execution: Run the version extraction script in python environment
- Output Handling
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dbb730a. 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
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
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
Ext Version loads about 246 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 117 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
