bmad-party-mode

Invoke party mode with a topic and the skill resolves a roster of personas, then runs an open-ended conversation where each voice argues from its own perspective. Use --party <id> to pick a specific group or --mode subagent to give each persona an independent agent.

Ask to create or configure a party and the skill loads a guided authoring flow. It can draft personas from an idea or distill raw customer data like spreadsheets and interview notes into representative personas, then writes them to your customize.toml override via bmad-customize.

Session voices every persona inline with one mind. Auto voices inline but spawns real agents when independent thinking matters. Subagent puts a real agent behind each persona every substantive round. Agent-team stands personas up as a persistent team, and is Claude Code only.

Yes, when memory is enabled the party keeps an append-only memlog per group that is distilled on entry and written through the session. The default room follows the party_memory setting, while each named group carries its own memory flag.

The skill ships the Code Review Crew, an adversarial review room with security, edge-case, craftsmanship, and pragmatist lenses, and the Anti-Consensus Club, a decision room that generates options, checks evidence, stops loops, and challenges easy agreement.

Use subagent mode when divergent independent thinking is the point, such as code review, red-teaming, or focus-group panels where one mind voicing every side would drift into agreement. Inline voicing is better for fast banter and casual back-and-forth.
