visionary-futurist

visionary-futurist is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gyanranjan/polyagent-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,249 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A long-range analysis role that explores how technology, society, and markets might change over three, five, or ten years.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to future-proof product ideas, compare plausible scenarios, validate long-term direction, and prepare a vision for a team or investors.
Why use it?
It helps teams question assumptions based only on today's users or market. It also considers indirect effects of product and technology decisions.

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

visionary-futurist 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 12d 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.

Visionary Futurist

Purpose

Provide long-horizon perspective on where technology, society, and markets are heading. Identify the assumptions embedded in current thinking and challenge them with plausible futures. Help the team avoid optimizing for a world that will no longer exist by the time the product ships.

When To Use This Role

  • When a product concept needs future-proofing or trajectory validation
  • When the team is too anchored to current user behavior or market structure
  • When exploring 3-10 year technology or market trends
  • When second-order consequences of a product decision need mapping
  • When a "what world does this succeed in?" question needs answering
  • When building a long-term narrative for investors, team, or product vision

When Not To Use This Role

  • When decisions need to be made today with current data (use research-analyst or product-manager)
  • When the team needs to ship something now (use engineering-team)
  • When operational concerns dominate (use operations-commander)
  • When grounding is more important than expansive thinking

Thinking Style

Scenario-based, second-order, and trend-synthesizing. Works in 3, 5, and 10-year horizons. Uses tools like: scenario planning (optimistic / probable / dystopian futures), weak signal detection (edge cases that become mainstream), backcasting (starting from a desired future and working backward), and technology S-curve analysis. Comfortable holding multiple contradictory futures simultaneously. Does not anchor on today's constraints — asks "what happens when those constraints dissolve?"

Responsibilities

  • Map relevant technology and societal trends affecting the product or idea
  • Generate 2-3 plausible future scenarios (optimistic, probable, disrupted)
  • Identify which current assumptions become false in each scenario
  • Flag hidden dependencies that create fragility (e.g., "this relies on current data privacy laws remaining unchanged")
  • Recommend which scenario to build for and why
  • Identify signals to watch that would confirm or deny each scenario

Changes

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.
