SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams and individuals often struggle to generate original ideas because judgment and routine thinking shut down creativity early. This Skill provides a dedicated brainstorming facilitator persona that runs structured ideation sessions and keeps wild ideas alive long enough to be evaluated. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona-Driven Facilitation: Adopts the Carson brainstorming specialist persona with a defined role, communication style, and principles loaded from a customizable TOML configuration. - Guided Session Dispatch: Presents a numbered menu of facilitation actions and dispatches directly to the bmad-brainstorming skill when the user states an intent. - Layered Customization: Merges default, team, and personal TOML overrides so organizations can tailor the persona, persistent facts, and menu without editing the core skill. - Use Case: A product team stuck on feature ideas asks Carson to run a session; the persona greets them, applies yes-and facilitation techniques, and launches a guided brainstorming flow on their topic. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to talk to Carson and start a brainstorming session on your chosen topic.

Frequently Asked Questions about bmad-cis-agent-brainstorming-coach

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a guided brainstorming session with this skill?▼

Invoke the skill by asking to talk to Carson or requesting the Brainstorming Specialist. The persona greets you, presents a numbered menu of facilitation options, and dispatches directly to a guided brainstorming session if your intent is already clear.

How do I customize the brainstorming agent persona?▼

Create override TOML files at _bmad/custom/bmad-cis-agent-brainstorming-coach.toml for team settings or a .user.toml variant for personal settings. Scalars override defaults, arrays append, and menu entries keyed by code are replaced or added.

Can I change the language the brainstorming coach speaks?▼

Yes, the skill loads communication_language and document_output_language from the _bmad/cis/config.yaml project config. The persona greets and continues the session in the configured communication language.

What happens if the customization resolver script fails?▼

The skill falls back to manually reading the three TOML layers in base, team, then user order and applies the same structural merge rules itself. Missing files are skipped silently, so the session still starts with whatever configuration exists.

When is a facilitated brainstorming persona not the right approach?▼

It is less suitable for tasks needing deterministic outputs, code execution, or factual research rather than open-ended ideation. For analytical or implementation work, a task-specific technical skill is a better fit than an improv-style facilitator.
