Creative Intelligence Suite

Think differently. A collection of agents and workflows for innovation, brainstorming, design thinking, and creative problem-solving.

About CIS

The Creative Intelligence Suite (CIS) extends BMad Method with tools for the fuzzy front-end of development—where ideas are born, problems are reframed, and solutions emerge through structured creativity.

The Agents

Agent	Skill	What they bring
Carson, Brainstorming Coach	bmad-cis-agent-brainstorming-coach	Guided ideation that pushes past the obvious ideas
Maya, Design Thinking Coach	bmad-cis-agent-design-thinking-coach	Human-centered design through empathy, ideation, and prototyping
Dr. Quinn, Creative Problem Solver	bmad-cis-agent-creative-problem-solver	Root cause diagnosis, then solutions that hold
Victor, Innovation Strategist	bmad-cis-agent-innovation-strategist	Disruption opportunities and business model innovation
Sophia, Storyteller	bmad-cis-agent-storyteller	Narratives built on proven story frameworks
Caravaggio, Presentation Expert	bmad-cis-agent-presentation-master	Plans and critiques decks, pitches, talks, and visuals

Installation

CIS installs as plain skills. Install the bmad hub skill first, then CIS:

npx skills add bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD --skill bmad
npx skills add bmad-code-org/bmad-module-creative-intelligence-suite

Then ask your agent to run bmad setup in the project. bmad status reports anything a skill still needs. To install one skill, add --skill <name> and include bmod-cis, the module's record: it carries the help and the party roster for every CIS skill.

Quick Start

Ask for a skill by name, or describe what you want and let the agent pick:

bmad-cis-design-thinking      # Human-centered design process
bmad-cis-problem-solving      # Systematic problem analysis
bmad-cis-innovation-strategy  # Business model and disruption analysis
bmad-cis-storytelling         # Narrative built on a story framework

Each skill also has an agent persona, such as bmad-cis-agent-storyteller, for a conversation with that one perspective.
