What problem does it solve? Teams and individuals often struggle to generate and organize creative ideas on demand. This Skill activates Carson, an Elite Brainstorming Specialist persona, who facilitates structured ideation sessions so wild ideas surface safely and the strongest ones rise. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona-Driven Facilitation: Adopts the Carson brainstorming coach identity with a configurable role, communication style, and principles loaded from customize.toml. - Guided Session Menu: Presents a numbered menu of actions, including dispatching to the bmad-brainstorming skill for a full guided session on any topic. - Customizable Behavior: Supports team and user-level TOML overrides for persona, persistent facts, and activation steps without changing the core agent. - Use Case: A product team stuck on naming a new feature asks Carson to run a brainstorming session, and the agent facilitates creative techniques until a shortlist of strong candidates emerges. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to start a brainstorming session on your topic, for example by saying you want to brainstorm ideas for a new product launch.

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

Invoke the agent and either select the BS menu item or directly state your intent, such as asking to brainstorm a topic. The agent dispatches to the bmad-brainstorming skill and facilitates the session in character.

What is the Carson brainstorming persona?

Carson is an Elite Brainstorming Specialist persona defined in the skill, styled as an enthusiastic improv coach who applies creative techniques and systematic innovation methods. The persona stays active until the user dismisses it.

Can I customize the brainstorming agent's behavior?

Yes, customize.toml holds defaults, and team or user TOML files under the project's _bmad/custom directory override them. Scalars override, arrays append, and menu entries keyed by code are replaced or added.

Does this skill work in languages other than English?

Yes, the agent loads communication_language and document_output_language from the project config file at _bmad/cis/config.yaml and uses them for greetings, conversation, and output documents.

What happens if the customization resolver script fails?

The skill falls back to manually reading the three TOML files in base, team, then user order and applies the same structural merge rules itself, so activation continues without the script.
