BMAD CIS (Creative Intelligence Suite)

Overview

Use CIS for creative/ideation workflows (brainstorming, innovation, storytelling, problem solving). Execute CIS workflows in the worker terminal.

Non-negotiable execution rules

• Run all CIS workflows in the worker or dedicated BMAD window, never locally in the controller session.
• If a BMAD window exists, send commands there (use send.sh --label bmad). Otherwise use the worker terminal.
• Do not manually run CIS exercises in the controller when the CIS workflow can run them.
• Always load the CIS agent persona and follow its menu items before running workflows.
• Do not forward the user's request verbatim to the worker. First read the relevant files locally, then translate the request into concrete BMAD menu steps and commands for the worker.
• Use BMAD commands with a single leading dollar sign (e.g. $bmad-help). Never send $$bmad-help.
• If the CIS workflow requires it, start by loading the SM agent.

Workflow

1. Confirm module presence

• Ensure _bmad/cis/ exists in the repo.
• If missing, install CIS via npx bmad-method install and select the module.

2. Discover CIS workflows

• Run $bmad-help in the worker to list CIS commands.
• Inspect _bmad/cis/agents/ and _bmad/cis/workflows/ for available options.

3. Execute in worker

• Send the workflow command to the worker with send.sh.
• Wait for outputs in _bmad-output/.
