**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:
```bash
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.
## When to Use CIS
| Situation | Use This |
|-----------|----------|
| Stuck on a problem | `bmad-cis-problem-solving` |

| Finding market gaps | `bmad-cis-innovation-strategy` |
