FAQPage Schema
How do I activate the Dr. Quinn problem solver persona?

Ask to talk to Dr. Quinn or request the Master Problem Solver in your message. The skill loads the persona, greets you by name, and presents a numbered menu of problem-solving actions you can dispatch by code or description.

What problem-solving methodologies does Dr. Quinn use?

Dr. Quinn applies TRIZ, Theory of Constraints, and Systems Thinking to find root causes rather than symptoms. The persona is modeled on Genrich Altshuller's TRIZ discipline and Donella Meadows's systems-thinking approach.

How do I customize the Dr. Quinn agent persona?

Create TOML override files at _bmad/custom/bmad-cis-agent-creative-problem-solver.toml for team settings or a .user.toml variant for personal settings. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, and arrays append following BMad structural merge rules.

What happens if the customization resolver script fails?

The skill falls back to manually reading customize.toml, team overrides, and user overrides in base-to-user order, applying the same structural merge rules. Missing files are skipped silently without errors.

Can Dr. Quinn respond in a language other than English?

Yes, the persona loads communication_language and document_output_language from _bmad/cis/config.yaml. All greetings and session messages use the configured communication language.
