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
- Confirm module presence
- Ensure
_bmad/cis/ exists in the repo.
- If missing, install CIS via
npx bmad-method install and select the module.
- Discover CIS workflows
- Run
$bmad-help in the worker to list CIS commands.
- Inspect
_bmad/cis/agents/ and _bmad/cis/workflows/ for available options.
- Execute in worker
- Send the workflow command to the worker with
send.sh.
- Wait for outputs in
_bmad-output/.
