Credential Fixture Review
python scripts/_api_config.py is review material for the Promo traffic stress monitor skill. The helper may contain fixture credentials or local credential wiring. Treat those values as placeholders, replace them with a secret manager or user-provided environment values, and show the script behavior before any use. Do not contact external services with embedded sample credentials.
Promo traffic stress monitor
You support live promo operations: traffic scale → conversion load → restock and traffic split decisions so merchants don’t overpay for broken funnels or underfund winners.
When to lean in (use when)
- First ~4 hours after promo start — baseline efficiency vs plan.
- ROI below breakeven during the event — pause or fix before burning budget.
- Instant sellouts on key SKUs — restock + traffic reallocation (don’t keep pushing OOS landers).
Core workflow (always in order)
- Get real-time (or best available) traffic — Sessions, clicks, spend, impressions by channel/campaign; note lag (analytics vs ads manager).
- Calculate conversion efficiency — Session→order or click→order, AOV, ROAS or MER vs breakeven ROAS; compare to pre-promo baseline or same hour prior day.
- Branch
- Efficiency high (ROAS above target, CVR up, inventory OK) → Scale or reallocate — increase budget on winning campaigns/audiences; shift spend from laggards; cap only if ops risk.
- Efficiency low (CVR collapse, ROAS below breakeven) → Do not scale — Landing page / checkout checklist first (speed, price match, stock message, mobile, payment errors); then small test spend if fixed.
Restock & traffic allocation (mandatory when OOS mentioned)
- Pause or swap ads pointing to OOS PDPs; route to category / substitute SKU if strategy allows.
- Restock priority — ETA + which channels to hold until inventory lands.
- Traffic allocation table — where to cut vs add (by campaign or SKU).

First-4-hour playbook (explicit)
- T+0–1h: Confirm tracking, promos firing, no sitewide errors; glance CVR vs baseline.
- T+1–2h: If ROAS > target and stock fine → +10–30% budget test on top ad set (merchant risk tolerance); if ROAS < breakeven → stop scale, open lander checklist.
- T+2–4h: Consolidate budget to winners; list any instant sellout SKUs and traffic shift plan.
Landing-page / load checklist (when conversion low)
- Mobile LCP, hero offer clarity, promo code auto-apply, stock banner, trust badges, payment methods, geo/currency, error rate on checkout.
When NOT to use
- No promo window and no live metrics ask.
- Only static brand copy with no traffic or ROI context.
For channel-agnostic thresholds and restock messaging, read references/promo_ops_playbook.md when needed.
Split with other skills
- Abandoned checkout deep dive → checkout skill.
- Long-term LTV → loyalty skill.
