What it does

Troubleshoot Conversions is an agent skill from googleads/google-ads-api-developer-assistant. Investigates conversion upload issues, generates structured diagnostic reports, and validates conversion CSVs.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/report_template.md`, `scripts/get_recent_gclids.py` and `scripts/troubleshoot_conversions.py`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering CSV and tabular files. It works with Google Ads. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve CSV and tabular files

Example prompts

  • “Use the troubleshoot-conversions skill to investigate conversion upload issues, generates structured diagnostic reports, and validates conversion CSVs”
  • “/troubleshoot-conversions”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Diagnostic Collection: Run the troubleshoot_conversions.py script
  2. CSV Pre-Validation: Before attempting conversion uploads, validate the CSV format
  3. Retrieve Recent GCLIDs
  4. Reporting Mandate

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 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Troubleshoot Conversions loads about 310 tokens when it runs, and up to ~467 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 67 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~310
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~467

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.
