What it does

Traction Paid Acquisition is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Plan paid acquisition tests from Traction across SEM, social/display ads, and offline ads. Use when designing ad experiments, keyword tests, audience tests, paid channel budgets, or deciding whether a paid channel can acquire the right customers profitably.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing ad experiments
  • Paid channel budgets
  • Deciding whether a paid channel can acquire the right customers profitably

Example prompts

  • “/traction-paid-acquisition”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

Workflow steps

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

  1. State the buying intent or audience hypothesis.
  2. Select one paid channel strategy, not a broad paid marketing mix.
  3. Define the conversion event that matters.
  4. Set a small budget and time box.
  5. Create a minimal landing path with tracking.
  6. Estimate break-even CAC from price, margin, and LTV.
  7. Run the test and compare CAC, conversion quality, and reachable volume.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e1456a. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Traction Paid Acquisition loads about 576 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~576

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.

Traction Paid Acquisition

Use this skill to design paid acquisition experiments that validate customer quality and economics before scaling spend.

Source Traceability

Primary source: Traction, chapters 9-11 and the appendix. Authoring notes: converted lines 1233-1627 and 3335-3340.

Channels

  • SEM: test high-intent search demand and conversion economics.
  • Social and display ads: test targeted audiences, creative, and offer resonance.
  • Offline ads: test channels that competitors may ignore, especially niche podcasts, local media, or audience-specific placements.

Workflow

  1. State the buying intent or audience hypothesis.
  2. Select one paid channel strategy, not a broad paid marketing mix.
  3. Define the conversion event that matters.
  4. Set a small budget and time box.
  5. Create a minimal landing path with tracking.
  6. Estimate break-even CAC from price, margin, and LTV.
  7. Run the test and compare CAC, conversion quality, and reachable volume.
