SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams and individuals often struggle to generate original ideas because judgment and structure stifle creativity too early. This Skill activates Carson, an Elite Brainstorming Specialist persona that facilitates structured ideation sessions where wild ideas get airtime before evaluation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona-Driven Facilitation: Adopts the Carson brainstorming coach identity with a customizable role, communication style, and principles loaded from TOML configuration. - Layered Customization: Merges default, team, and user-level TOML overrides to tailor the agent's persona, persistent facts, and activation steps per project. - Menu-Based Dispatch: Presents a numbered menu of actions (such as launching a guided brainstorming session) and dispatches to the matching skill or prompt. - Use Case: A product team stuck on feature ideas asks Carson to run a brainstorming session; the agent greets them, applies facilitation techniques, and invokes the guided brainstorming workflow. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to start a brainstorming session on your chosen topic, for example by saying you want to brainstorm new product feature ideas with Carson.

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 agent?▼

Invoke the skill and either select the BS menu item or state your intent directly, such as asking to brainstorm a topic. The agent greets you as Carson and dispatches the bmad-brainstorming skill to run the facilitated session.

How do I customize the brainstorming agent persona?▼

Create TOML override files at _bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml for team settings or {skill-name}.user.toml for personal settings. Scalars override defaults, tables deep-merge, and arrays append following the BMad structural merge rules.

Can I change the agent's communication language?▼

Yes, the agent reads communication_language and document_output_language from the project config at _bmad/cis/config.yaml. It greets and responds in the configured language throughout the session.

What happens if the customization resolver script fails?▼

The skill falls back to manually reading the three TOML files in base, team, and user order, then applies the same structural merge rules itself. Missing files are skipped without error.

What are the limitations of this brainstorming agent?▼

It is a facilitation persona rather than an ideation engine, so actual session execution depends on downstream skills like bmad-brainstorming being installed. It also requires the BMad project structure with config and customization paths to fully function.
