+# Creative Intelligence System (CIS)
+
+**Purpose:** Transform creative and strategic thinking through AI-powered facilitation across five specialized domains. The CIS module provides expert coaching for brainstorming, design thinking, problem-solving, innovation strategy, and storytelling.
+
+**Overview:** The Creative Intelligence System equips teams and individuals with structured creative methodologies delivered through distinctive agent personas. Each agent facilitates interactive workflows that guide users through proven techniques while adapting to context, energy levels, and goals. Unlike traditional creative tools, CIS agents act as master facilitators who ask questions to draw out insights rather than generating solutions directly.
+
+## Workflows
+
+[View all workflows →](./workflows/README.md)
+
+The module includes **5 interactive workflows** with over 150 creative techniques and frameworks:
+
+- **Brainstorming** - 36 creative techniques across 7 categories for ideation
+- **Design Thinking** - Complete 5-phase human-centered design process
+- **Problem Solving** - Systematic root cause analysis and solution generation
+- **Innovation Strategy** - Business model innovation and disruption analysis
+- **Storytelling** - 25 story frameworks for compelling narratives
+
+## Agents
+
+[View all agents →](./agents/README.md)
+
+Five specialized agents with unique personas and communication styles:
+
+- **Carson** - Elite Brainstorming Specialist (energetic facilitator)
+- **Maya** - Design Thinking Maestro (jazz-like improviser)
+- **Dr. Quinn** - Master Problem Solver (detective-scientist hybrid)
+- **Victor** - Disruptive Innovation Oracle (bold strategic precision)
+- **Sophia** - Master Storyteller (flowery, whimsical narrator)
+
+## Configuration
+
+The module uses `/bmad/cis/config.yaml` for:
+
+- `output_folder` - Where workflow results are saved
+- `user_name` - Session participant identification
+- `communication_language` - Facilitation language preference
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Direct workflow invocation
+workflow brainstorming
+workflow design-thinking --data /path/to/context.md
+
+# Agent-facilitated sessions
+agent cis/brainstorming-coach
+> *brainstorm
+```
+
+## Key Differentiators
+
+- **Facilitation Over Generation:** Agents guide users to discover their own insights through strategic questioning
+- **Energy-Aware Sessions:** Built-in checkpoints monitor and adapt to user engagement levels
+- **Context Integration:** All workflows accept optional context documents for domain-specific guidance
+- **Persona-Driven Experience:** Each agent embodies a unique communication style matching their expertise
+- **Rich Method Libraries:** 150+ proven techniques and frameworks across creative disciplines
+
+## Installation
+
+The CIS module installer (`_module-installer/`) configures the complete creative intelligence suite including all agents, workflows, and technique libraries.

+# CIS Workflows
+
+The Creative Intelligence System includes five interactive workflows that facilitate different creative and strategic processes. Each workflow uses curated technique libraries and structured facilitation to guide users through proven methodologies.
+
+## Available Workflows
+
+### [Brainstorming](./brainstorming)
+
+Facilitates interactive ideation sessions using 36 creative techniques across 7 categories. AI acts as master facilitator using "Yes, and..." methodology. Supports user-selected, AI-recommended, random, or progressive technique flows.
+
+**Key Feature:** Comprehensive technique library spanning collaborative, structured, creative, deep, theatrical, wild, and introspective approaches.
+
+### [Design Thinking](./design-thinking)
+
+Guides human-centered design through the complete five-phase methodology: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. Emphasizes divergent thinking before convergent action with rapid prototyping focus.
+
+**Key Feature:** Phase-specific method library and systematic user empathy development.
+
+### [Innovation Strategy](./innovation-strategy)
+
+Identifies disruption opportunities and architects business model innovation. Analyzes markets, competitive dynamics, and value chains using frameworks like Jobs-to-be-Done and Blue Ocean Strategy.
+
+**Key Feature:** Strategic focus on sustainable competitive advantage over feature innovation.
+
+### [Problem Solving](./problem-solving)
+
+Applies systematic problem-solving methodologies combining TRIZ, Theory of Constraints, Systems Thinking, and Root Cause Analysis. Detective approach treats challenges as elegant puzzles.
+
+**Key Feature:** Relentless root cause focus using framework-driven analysis.
+
+### [Storytelling](./storytelling)
+
+Crafts compelling narratives using proven story frameworks (Hero's Journey, Three-Act Structure, Story Brand). Tailors emotional psychology and structure to platform and audience.
+
+**Key Feature:** Whimsical facilitation style that embodies master storytelling craft.
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+All CIS workflows share these characteristics:
+
+- **Interactive Facilitation**: AI guides rather than generates, asking questions to draw out user insights
+- **Technique Libraries**: CSV databases of methods, frameworks, and approaches
+- **Context Awareness**: Accept optional context documents via data attribute
+- **Structured Output**: Comprehensive reports capturing insights, decisions, and action plans
+- **Energy Monitoring**: Check-ins throughout to adapt pace and approach
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Basic invocation
+workflow [workflow-name]
+
+# With context document
+workflow [workflow-name] --data /path/to/context.md
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+All workflows reference `/bmad/cis/config.yaml` for:
+
+- `output_folder` - Where workflow results are saved
+- `user_name` - Session participant identification
+- `communication_language` - Facilitation language preference
