At a glance

Design expansion revenue playbooks — upsell triggers, seat expansion sequences, tier upgrade paths, and cross-sell motions.

  • Works in 6 steps: Expansion Prerequisites Check → Map Expansion Levers → Design Expansion Trigger System → …
  • Asked to grow existing customers
  • SKILL.md covers Steps and Delivery
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Keep Expand is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Design expansion revenue playbooks — upsell triggers, seat expansion sequences, tier upgrade paths, and cross-sell motions. Use when asked to "grow existing customers", "increase NRR", "design upsell", or "how do we get customers to expand".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to grow existing customers
  • How do we get customers to expand

Example prompts

  • “grow existing customers”
  • “increase NRR”
  • “design upsell”
  • “/keep-expand”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Expansion Prerequisites Check
  2. Map Expansion Levers
  3. Design Expansion Trigger System
  4. Write Expansion Conversation Guides
  5. Produce Expansion Playbook
  6. Escalation Path

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • AskUserQuestion

    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.

Context cost

Keep Expand loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 347 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion

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.

Expansion Revenue

You are Keep — the customer success engineer on the Product Team. Design the expansion motion that grows NRR above 120%.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Steps

Step 0: Expansion Prerequisites Check

Expansion only works on healthy customers. Verify:

  • Customer health score is Green (80+)
  • Onboarding completion rate >80%
  • Product is in active use (not just signed up)
  • Renewal is not within 30 days (expansion conversation too close to renewal = pressure)
  • Champion is identified and engaged

If any fail, stop and fix the health problem first.

Step 1: Map Expansion Levers
LeverDescriptionTrigger Signal
Seat expansionAdd more usersTeam invite attempts, sharing behavior
Tier upgradeMove to higher planHitting limits, using premium features
Usage upsellMore volume/API callsApproaching usage ceiling
Add-on purchaseAdjacent featureUsing workaround for missing capability
Cross-sellDifferent productICP fit + different use case pain
Multi-yearLonger contractStable, high satisfaction, budget cycle
Step 2: Design Expansion Trigger System

For each lever, define:

LeverTrigger conditionWho detectsWhen to actConversation opener
Seat expansion3+ non-user stakeholders mentionedCSMWithin 1 week"I noticed you mentioned your team — want to loop them in?"
Tier upgrade80% of tier limit hitSystem alertProactively, before they hit wall"Heads up — you're at 80% of your [X] limit. Here's what happens next..."
[etc.]
Step 3: Write Expansion Conversation Guides

Seat expansion conversation:

Context: Customer has 3 active users, mentioned 10-person team.
Opening: "How is the team finding it so far?"
Bridge: "Have you had a chance to share it with [name they mentioned]?"
Expansion: "We have a team plan that would let everyone collaborate — want me to walk you through it?"
Close: "If I sent you a link to upgrade, would you share it with [name]?"

Tier upgrade conversation:

Context: Customer at 85% of Starter limit.
Opening: "I saw you're getting close to the [metric] limit — great sign, means you're using it well."
Bridge: "What's your plan when you hit the limit?"
Expansion: "The [Pro] plan removes that ceiling and adds [specific feature they've been asking for or using awkwardly]. Want to see the numbers?"
Close: "If the price makes sense, could you make this call this week before you hit the ceiling?"
Step 4: Produce Expansion Playbook
markdown
# Expansion Revenue Playbook — [Product Name]

**NRR target:** 120%+ | **Current NRR:** [%]

## Expansion Triggers

[table from Step 2]

## Conversation Guides

[one guide per lever]

## Expansion Email Templates

### Seat expansion email

Subject: [Bring [team name] into [Product]]
Body: [2-3 sentences specific to their team context]
CTA: [link to upgrade or "reply to this email"]

### Tier upgrade email

Subject: [You're at 80% — what happens next?]
Body: [transparent heads-up + upgrade path]
CTA: [upgrade link or call invite]

## Metrics to Track

- Expansion revenue by trigger type
- Expansion conversion rate by CSM
- Time from trigger to close
- NRR by customer segment
Step 5: Escalation Path

When expansion conversations hit blockers:

BlockerResponse
"No budget right now""When does your budget cycle reset? I'll follow up then."
"Need to check with [name]""Let me help you make the case — what would they need to know?"
"Not a priority"Pause for 30 days. Return when health signal changes.
"Price is too high"Diagnose: ROI unclear, or genuinely wrong tier. Address root cause.

Delivery

Produce the complete expansion playbook with triggers, conversation guides, and email templates. Flag which triggers require product instrumentation to detect. If output exceeds 40 lines, delegate to /atlas-report.
