SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Getting genuinely diverse perspectives from AI agents is hard when a single model roleplays multiple characters, since the opinions tend to converge and feel performative. This Skill solves that by spawning each BMAD agent as an independent subagent with its own reasoning, producing authentic disagreement and cross-domain insight. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Independent Subagent Spawning: Each selected agent runs as its own subagent via the Agent tool, with parallel execution for concurrent responses. - Roster Resolution: Discovers installed persona skills, reads their name, title, icon, and role from customize.toml files, and applies project-level overrides. - Solo Mode Fallback: The --solo flag lets one model roleplay all agents when subagents are unavailable or speed matters more than independence. - Use Case: A product team debating an architecture decision can invoke party mode to hear the analyst, architect, and developer agents argue their positions independently, then ask one agent to react to another's point. ## Quick Start Start party mode and have the analyst, architect, and developer agents discuss the tradeoffs of our proposed caching strategy.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a multi-agent discussion with BMAD agents?▼

Invoke party mode and state your discussion topic. The orchestrator selects 2-4 relevant agents from the installed roster, spawns each as an independent subagent in parallel, and presents their full responses in their own voices.

What is the difference between party mode subagents and solo mode?▼

Subagent mode spawns each agent as an independent process with genuinely separate reasoning, while solo mode (--solo) has one model roleplay all agents in a single response. Solo mode is faster but produces less diverse perspectives.

Can I choose which model the party mode agents use?▼

Yes, pass --model followed by a model name such as haiku or opus to force all subagents onto that model. Without the flag, the orchestrator matches model weight to the depth of each round.

How does party mode decide which agents participate?▼

It reads the installed persona skills' customize.toml files to build a roster, then picks 2-4 agents whose roles match the topic. You can also name specific agents, and the orchestrator rotates voices across rounds.

What happens when the party mode conversation gets very long?▼

The orchestrator summarizes prior rounds into a discussion context kept under 400 words, updated every 2-3 rounds or when the topic shifts. This keeps each subagent prompt focused without passing the full transcript.
