incremental-vs-leap-growth

incremental-vs-leap-growth is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deciqAI/knowledge-skills. It costs 112 tokens per session (2,115 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for choosing between incremental growth, which improves an existing path step by step, and leap growth, which aims for a fundamentally larger outcome and builds the needed capabilities around it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess stalled growth, plan a new market or business model, choose targets, and resolve disagreements about whether a goal is realistic.
Why use it?
It prevents long-term or transformative goals from being judged with short-term measures that can stop them before they have time to develop.

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

incremental-vs-leap-growth 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 9d 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.

Incremental vs. Leap Growth

Overview

The most common strategic error is applying the wrong growth mode to a goal. Incremental optimizes within an existing trajectory — phased execution, quarterly measurement. Leap abandons the existing trajectory for a higher-order one — grand goal first, resource assembly second, concurrent parallel workstreams. The tools, timescales, and risk profiles are fundamentally incompatible. Organizations default to incremental (it's measurable on familiar timescales), systematically strangling leap initiatives before they reach the stage where value accumulates.

Compose with: [strategic-spiral-momentum] (phases 1–3 = leap; phases 7–8 = incremental) · [margin-of-safety] (leap needs larger buffers) · [okr-goal-setting] (run after classifying mode).

When to Use

  • Transformative initiative measured quarterly — suspected mode-metric mismatch
  • Growth plateaued despite good execution — possible trajectory ceiling
  • New market entry, business model, or capability platform — leap mode by default
  • Cost-efficiency, retention, or process excellence program — incremental mode by default
  • Leadership disagrees on whether a goal is "realistic" — often a masked mode disagreement

When NOT to use: Survival mode (cash runway < 6 months); goal not yet defined (use first-principles first); purely operational work.

Coaching Novices (Adaptive Front Door)

  • Engine mode: concrete initiative → run The Process directly.
  • Coach mode: unfamiliar or no concrete case → guide step by step.

In Coach mode, respond one step at a time. Each [WAIT] is a hard stop — output only that step's question, then stop.

  1. "Two ways to grow: get 5% better each month, or jump to a completely different track. They need completely different plans."
  2. "Does your goal feel like optimizing what you have, or building something qualitatively new?"
  3. "Is your goal more like getting better at something you're already doing, or doing something at a completely different scale?" > [WAIT — do not advance until user responds]
  4. "Write your goal. Then: 'I'll know we're making progress when ___.' Quarterly number = incremental. Capability/position you don't yet have = leap." > [WAIT — do not advance until user responds]
  5. "Once you know the mode, you stop feeling anxious that your leap isn't showing results in month 3. Leap initiatives are quiet in phase 1 and explosive at stage transitions." > [WAIT — do not advance until user responds]

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.

incremental-vs-leap-growth is a skill published in the GitHub repository deciqAI/knowledge-skills (10 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 2,115 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
