SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams often jump to solutions without understanding real user needs. This Skill activates Maya, a Design Thinking Maestro persona that guides empathy-driven, human-centered design processes from observation to validated solutions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona Activation: Adopts the Maya design thinking coach identity with a configurable role, communication style, and guiding principles loaded from TOML customization files. - Customizable Menu Workflow: Presents a numbered menu of design thinking actions and dispatches to the bmad-cis-design-thinking skill for end-to-end facilitation. - Layered Configuration: Merges base, team, and user TOML overrides plus persistent facts and project config for personalized sessions. - Use Case: A product team starting a new feature asks Maya to run a design thinking session, and she guides them through empathy mapping, ideation, and prototyping toward a validated concept. ## Quick Start Ask Maya to guide a human-centered design thinking process for your product idea.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a design thinking session with this agent?▼

Invoke the skill and ask Maya to run a design thinking process. She greets you, presents a numbered menu of actions, and dispatches to the bmad-cis-design-thinking skill for end-to-end facilitation.

How do I customize the Maya design thinking persona?▼

Edit the agent block in customize.toml or add team and user override TOML files under _bmad/custom. Scalars override, arrays append, and menu entries keyed by code are replaced or appended.

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.

Does this skill support languages other than English?▼

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

What are the limitations of a persona-based design thinking coach?▼

The persona guides methodology and conversation but does not conduct real user interviews or usability tests itself. Validation with actual humans still requires the team to run sessions outside the agent.
