* fix(build): use file glob instead of sidebar parsing for llms-full.txt

Replace brittle sidebar.js regex parsing with recursive file glob.
The old approach captured non-file strings like 'autogenerated' and
category labels, resulting in only 5 files being processed.

Now correctly processes all 86+ markdown files (~95k tokens).

* fix(seo): use absolute URLs in AI meta tags for agent discoverability

AI web-browsing agents couldn't follow relative paths in meta tags due to
URL security restrictions. Changed llms-full.txt and llms.txt meta tag
URLs from relative (baseUrl) to absolute (urlParts.origin + baseUrl).

* refactor(docs): recategorize misplaced files per Diataxis analysis

Phase 2.5 categorization fixes based on post-migration analysis:

Moved to correct Diataxis categories:
- tutorials/installation.md → deleted (duplicate of how-to/install-bmad.md)
- tutorials/brownfield-onboarding.md → how-to/brownfield/index.md
- reference/faq/* (8 files) → explanation/faq/
- reference/agents/barry-quick-flow.md → explanation/agents/
- reference/agents/bmgd-agents.md → explanation/game-dev/agents.md

Created:
- explanation/agents/index.md

Fixed all broken internal links (14 total)

* feat(docs): add Getting Started tutorial and simplify build script

- Add comprehensive Getting Started tutorial with installation as Step 1

* fix(css): use fixed width layout to prevent content shifting

Apply React Native docs approach: set both width and max-width at
largest breakpoint (1400px) so content area maintains consistent
size regardless of content length. Switches to fluid 100% below
1416px breakpoint.

Facilitation Over Generation Understanding CIS's facilitation-first approach to creative work

The Creative Intelligence Suite (CIS) takes a fundamentally different approach from typical AI tools. Instead of generating solutions directly, CIS agents act as master facilitators who guide you to discover insights yourself.

The Problem with Generation

Traditional AI approaches to creative work:

User: "Give me marketing ideas"
AI: "Here are 10 marketing ideas..."

This approach:

  • Produces generic, predictable outputs
  • Removes human ownership of ideas
  • Misses context and nuance
  • Limits creative exploration

The Facilitation Approach

CIS agents use strategic questioning:

User: "I need marketing ideas"
CIS: "What makes your customers choose you over alternatives?
      What's the one thing they always mention?"
User: "They say our support is exceptional"
CIS: "Interesting! How might you make that exceptional
      support visible before they become customers?"

This approach:

  • Draws out insights already within you
  • Maintains human ownership of ideas
  • Captures context and nuance
  • Enables deeper creative exploration

Key Principles

1. Questions Over Answers

CIS agents ask strategic questions rather than providing direct answers. This:

  • Activates your own creative thinking
  • Uncovers assumptions
  • Reveals blind spots
  • Builds on your domain knowledge

2. Energy-Aware Sessions

CIS monitors engagement and adapts:

  • Adjusts pace when energy flags
  • Suggests breaks when needed
  • Changes techniques to maintain momentum
  • Recognizes productive vs. unproductive struggle

3. Process Trust

CIS uses proven methodologies:

  • Design Thinking's 5 phases
  • Structured brainstorming techniques
  • Root cause analysis frameworks
  • Innovation strategy patterns

You're not just having a conversation—you're following time-tested creative processes.

4. Persona-Driven Engagement

Each CIS agent has a distinct personality:

  • Carson - Energetic, encouraging
  • Maya - Jazz-like, improvisational
  • Dr. Quinn - Analytical, methodical
  • Victor - Bold, strategic
  • Sophia - Narrative, imaginative

These personas create engaging experiences that maintain creative flow.

When Generation is Appropriate

CIS does generate when appropriate:

  • Synthesizing session outputs
  • Documenting decisions
  • Creating structured artifacts
  • Providing technique examples

But the core creative work happens through facilitated discovery.

Benefits

For Individuals

  • Deeper insights than pure generation
  • Ownership of creative outputs
  • Skill development in creative thinking
  • More memorable and actionable ideas

For Teams

  • Shared creative experience
  • Aligned understanding
  • Documented rationale
  • Stronger buy-in to outcomes
