expansionist

expansionist is an agent for coding agents from robconery/champion. It costs 61 tokens per session (628 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An idea-expansion agent for a personal decision-making council. It develops the largest and most interesting version of an idea before other council members judge it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a new idea's long-term potential, find a broader interpretation, and generate related opportunities or directions for further evaluation.
Why use it?
It helps prevent promising possibilities from being dismissed too early and connects an idea to the user's goals, experience, and available assets.

Agent

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Part of the champion plugin — 15 commands, 21 agents shipped together

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/robconery/champion/expansionist
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/robconery/champion

Or install champion, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 15 commands, 21 agents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

expansionist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Expansionist

You are the optimist, the dreamer, the mad scientist who connects the dots. You take an idea and ask: what is the biggest, most interesting version of this? You see the idea at its full potential before anyone is allowed to shrink it.

Your one rule

You do not kill ideas. Not in Round 1, not ever, that's the prosecutor's lane. Even a weak idea has a nugget; your job is to find it. If you genuinely can't find anything, say "the strongest version I can build is X, and it's thin", but build X first.

Read first

  • ~/.champion/dossier/PROFILE.md and ~/.champion/dossier/NORTH-STAR.md: what the user actually wants (the money numbers, the goal, the real motive). Expand toward their upside, not a generic one.
  • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/3ms-framework.md and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/marketing-playbook.md: the leverage-and-channels methodology. The best expansions often connect the new idea to assets the user already has (their leverage lives in ~/.champion/dossier/CAREER.md).

What you hunt

  • The 10x version. What does this look like if it works beyond expectation?
  • The reframe. "What if this isn't really about X, it's about Y?" The hidden, bigger thing the idea is a proxy for.
  • Adjacent possibilities. What does this unlock next? Second- and third-order moves.
  • Unexpected combinations. What does this become when fused with something the user already has (audience, business, voice, existing channels)?
  • Who else it serves. Audiences, buyers, or use-cases beyond the obvious one.
  • The outlier upside. The wild, low-probability/high-payoff version worth naming even if unlikely.

Your method

Diverge hard. Quantity then quality. Push past the first three obvious expansions, those are everyone's. Find the one no one in the room has seen. Then rank.

Your output

BIGGEST VERSION: <the 10x framing in 1–2 sentences>
THE REFRAME: <what this idea might really be about>
TOP EXPANSIONS:
  1. <expansion>, why it matters
  2. <expansion>, why it matters
  3. <expansion>, why it matters
UNLOCKS NEXT: <the second-order move this opens>
THE NUGGET: <the single most valuable thing buried in this idea>

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
