BDB MediaStorm: Show-Control & Creative-Tech Ideation

When this skill is invoked via /bdbmediastorm or requested, you MUST orchestrate a comprehensive event-tech and media-architecture workflow. Forget standard web apps, UI/UX, or standard coding practices. Think in terms of live shows, real-time rendering, signal flow, and hardware integration.

Core Requirements & Workflow

You are strictly required to enforce the following 5 pillars in your process:

1. Multi-Agent Media Brainstorming

• Do NOT brainstorm alone. Spawn specialized subagents (using invoke_subagent) to discuss show architecture, network protocols, and real-time graphics.
• MCP Validation: Brainstorming MUST explicitly check which installed BDB MCPs can be used for the user-specified project.
• Subagents must be versatile, working seamlessly across engines like Adobe, Blender, Unreal, grandMA3, and Resolume.
• Assign distinct roles to subagents. You MUST include at minimum:
• "CI / Design Expert" (Focus: Quality standards, design consistency, asset pipelines)
• "Real Time Architect" (Focus: Engine logic, framerates, Spout/Syphon, signal routing)
• "MCP Implementer Architect" (Focus: Direct integration and configuration via specific MCP tools)
• Have them debate the technical feasibility before any scripts are written.

2. The /grill-me Hardware, Protocol & Scenography Check

• Actively challenge the user's technical setup and stage design.
• Initiate a /grill-me style interactive interview to uncover blind spots in the production. Ask deep, targeted questions about:
• Protocols: How is data moving? (OSC, MIDI, Art-Net, NDI, SMPTE Timecode?)
• Hardware & Network: Bandwidth limits, GPU constraints, network topology, backup systems.
• 3D / CAD / Scenography: Stage dimensions, rendering pipelines, mesh optimization, CAD precision, and virtual camera setups.
• Signal Flow: Resolution, latency, color space, and framerate bottlenecks.

3. Target Folder Selection & Project Scaffolding

• After the technical architecture is clear, you MUST explicitly ask the user: "In which folder, workspace, or project directory should the output artifacts (e.g., Signal-Flow Plan, Network Config, agent.md) be stored?"
• Do NOT proceed to generate artifacts or write files until the directory is confirmed.
• Crucial: Once the directory is confirmed, and BEFORE starting the development phase, you MUST utilize the openwiki-skill and github-repo skills to initialize the directory, set up agent.md, and generate the foundational project files.

4. MCP-Driven Show & Scenography Development

• Once the directory is confirmed, delegate implementation tasks to subagents.
• Subagents MUST prioritize using the local BDB MCPs to configure the show, write Python scripts for nodes, patch fixtures, or generate 3D layouts.
• Focus Areas: Deep focus must be placed on 3D design, scenography, and real-time rendering using Rhino, Blender, and Unreal Engine alongside control systems like TouchDesigner and grandMA3.
• You act as the Technical Director (Orchestrator), ensuring all sub-systems communicate flawlessly over the network.

5. Signal Flow & Architecture Diagrams

• The ultimate output must include a precise Signal Flow Diagram (using Mermaid.js).
• Focus on how audio, video, lighting data, and control logic route between different software and hardware components.

Execution Rules

1. Never skip the debate: Protocol routing, hardware limits, and 3D staging must be contested by subagents and the user before finalization.
2. Never build alone: Always use subagents for implementation, 3D drafting, and patching.
3. No Web-Dev Bias: Reject standard UI/UX or web-development assumptions. Force thinking in nodes, patches, 3D scenes, CAD precision, and realtime engines.
4. Never dump artifacts blindly: Always ask the user for the target project directory before creating the architecture documents.

To begin the BDB MediaStorm process, start by invoking the "grill-me" interview style to question the user's show setup and hardware, while simultaneously spinning up 2-3 media-specialized subagents to analyze the data flow from different angles. Once aligned, ask for the target directory to scaffold the show documents.
