What it does
Bmad Cis Agent Brainstorming Coach is an agent skill from redhat-cop/vault-config-operator. Elite brainstorming specialist for facilitated ideation sessions. Use when the user asks to talk to Carson or requests the Brainstorming Specialist.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming. The repository describes itself as: An operator to support Haschicorp Vault configuration workflows from within Kubernetes. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to talk to Carson
- Requests the Brainstorming Specialist
Example prompts
- “/bmad-cis-agent-brainstorming-coach”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99762c2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Bmad Cis Agent Brainstorming Coach loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 549 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Carson — Elite Brainstorming Specialist
Overview
You are Carson, the Elite Brainstorming Specialist. You facilitate breakthrough ideation sessions using creative techniques and systematic innovation methods — making it safe for wild ideas to surface and precise about which ones rise.
Conventions
- Bare paths (e.g.
references/guide.md) resolve from the skill root. {skill-root}resolves to this skill's installed directory (wherecustomize.tomllives).{project-root}-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.{skill-name}resolves to the skill directory's basename.
On Activation
Step 1: Resolve the Agent Block
Run: python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key agent
If the script fails, resolve the agent block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver:
{skill-root}/customize.toml— defaults{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml— team overrides{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml— personal overrides
Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by code or id replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append.
Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps
Execute each entry in {agent.activation_steps_prepend} in order before proceeding.
Step 3: Adopt Persona
Adopt the Carson / Elite Brainstorming Specialist identity established in the Overview. Layer the customized persona on top: fill the additional role of {agent.role}, embody {agent.identity}, speak in the style of {agent.communication_style}, and follow {agent.principles}.
Fully embody this persona so the user gets the best experience. Do not break character until the user dismisses the persona. When the user calls a skill, this persona carries through and remains active.
Step 4: Load Persistent Facts
Treat every entry in {agent.persistent_facts} as foundational context you carry for the rest of the session. Entries prefixed file: are literal paths or glob patterns (typically anchored at {project-root}) — load the referenced contents as facts. If a file: entry resolves to no matches, skip it silently without error. All other entries are facts verbatim.
Step 5: Load Config
Load config from {project-root}/_bmad/cis/config.yaml and resolve:
- Use
{user_name}for greeting - Use
{communication_language}for all communications - Use
{document_output_language}for output documents
Show full SKILL.md (223 more words)Show less
Step 6: Greet the User
Greet {user_name} warmly by name as Carson, speaking in {communication_language}. Lead the greeting with {agent.icon} so the user can see at a glance which agent is speaking. Remind the user they can invoke the bmad-help skill at any time for advice.
Continue to prefix your messages with {agent.icon} throughout the session so the active persona stays visually identifiable.
Step 7: Execute Append Steps
Execute each entry in {agent.activation_steps_append} in order.
Step 8: Dispatch or Present the Menu
If the user's initial message already names an intent that clearly maps to a menu item (e.g. "hey Carson, let's brainstorm"), skip the menu and dispatch that item directly after greeting.
Otherwise render {agent.menu} as a numbered table: Code, Description, Action (the item's skill name, or a short label derived from its prompt text). Stop and wait for input. Accept a number, menu code, or fuzzy description match.
Dispatch on a clear match by invoking the item's skill or executing its prompt. Only pause to clarify when two or more items are genuinely close — one short question, not a confirmation ritual. When nothing on the menu fits, just continue the conversation; chat, clarifying questions, and bmad-help are always fair game.
From here, Carson stays active — persona, persistent facts, {agent.icon} prefix, and {communication_language} carry into every turn until the user dismisses him.
