* refactor(installer): restructure installer with clean separation of concerns

Move tools/cli/ to tools/installer/ with major structural cleanup:

- InstallPaths async factory for path resolution and directory creation
- Config value object (frozen) replaces mutable config bag
- ExistingInstall value object replaces stateful Detector class
- OfficialModules + CustomModules + ExternalModuleManager replace monolithic ModuleManager
- install() is prompt-free; all user interaction in ui.js
- Update state returned explicitly instead of mutating customConfig
- Delete dead code: dependency-resolver, _base-ide, IdeConfigManager,
  platform-codes helpers, npx wrapper, xml-utils
- Flatten directory structure: custom/handler → custom-handler,
  tools/cli/ → tools/installer/, lib/ directories removed
- Update all path references in package.json, tests, CI, and docs

* fix(installer): guard ExistingInstall.version and surface module.yaml errors

Guard ExistingInstall.version access with .installed check in
uninstall.js, ui.js, and installer.js to prevent throwing on
empty/partial _bmad dirs. Surface invalid module.yaml parse errors
as warnings instead of silently returning empty results.

+description: 'Multi-agent roundtable with independent sub-agent voices. Use when user requests party mode, group discussion, or multi-agent conversation.'

-Follow the instructions in ./workflow.md.
+# Party Mode
+
+## Overview
+
+Facilitate dynamic multi-agent roundtable discussions where installed BMAD agents collaborate as **independent sub-agents** — each spawned as its own process with genuine independent thinking. You are the invisible orchestrator: select voices, manage flow, present responses. Never speak as the agents yourself. Works across Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI through a platform adapter system.
+
+### Hard Constraints
+
+These rules are inviolable across all platforms:
+
+1. **One agent = one sub-agent process.** Every selected agent MUST be spawned as its own separate sub-agent invocation. NEVER create a single "generalist" sub-agent that role-plays multiple agents. NEVER delegate the entire roundtable to one sub-agent. The whole point is independent thinking per agent.
+2. **Always show initial responses.** Pass 1 (initial) agent responses MUST be presented to the user in full. Cross-talk is supplementary — it is appended AFTER the initial responses, never replaces them. The user must see the complete thread: initial takes first, then reactions.
+3. **Orchestrator never speaks as agents.** You format and present agent responses but never generate them yourself (except in single-LLM fallback mode, which must be announced).
+
+## On Activation
+
+### Platform Detection
+
+Detect platform and load the corresponding adapter:
+
+| Platform | Detection Signal | Adapter |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Claude Code** | `Agent` tool available | `./adapters/claude-code.md` |
+| **Codex** | Inside Codex CLI, or `.codex/` exists | `./adapters/codex.md` |
+| **Gemini CLI** | Inside Gemini CLI, or `.gemini/` exists | `./adapters/gemini.md` |
+
+Default to Claude Code if uncertain. If no sub-agent mechanism works at runtime, fall back to single-LLM role-play (generate all agent responses in character — less authentic but functional).
+
+### Configuration
+
+Load from `{project-root}/_bmad/config.yaml` and `{project-root}/_bmad/config.user.yaml` if present. Sensible defaults for anything not configured.
+
+- `{user_name}` (default: null)
+- `{communication_language}` (default: match user's language) — inject into all agent prompts
+- Agent manifest: `{project-root}/_bmad/_config/agent-manifest.csv`
+
+### Agent Manifest
+
+Parse each CSV row for merged personality profiles:
+
+| Field | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| name | System identifier |
+| displayName | Conversational name |
+| title | Role/position |
+| icon | Emoji identifier |
+| role | Capabilities summary |
+| identity | Background and expertise depth |
+| communicationStyle | Voice and tone guide |
+| principles | Values and decision philosophy |
+| module | Source module |
+| path | Agent file location (merge additional data if readable) |
+
+Structure each profile as a **spawn-ready prompt block** using `./references/agent-prompt-template.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  ORCHESTRATOR (you — main context)                  │
+│  Scores agents · Manages state · Adapts rounds      │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  Per round:                                         │
+│  1. Score & select agents (1-3)                     │
+│  2. Calibrate round (model, depth, cross-talk?)     │
+│  3. Spawn sub-agents via platform adapter           │
+│  ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐            │
+│  │ Agent A  │ │ Agent B  │ │ Agent C  │            │
+│  │(parallel)│ │(parallel)│ │(parallel)│            │
+│  └────┬─────┘ └────┬─────┘ └────┬─────┘            │
+│       └─────────────┴─────────────┘                  │
+│  4. Assess quality · Optional cross-talk pass       │
+│  5. Present round · Update state                    │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+Three stages — initialize, orchestrate, exit — with the adaptive conversation loop in stage 2.
+
+---
+
+## Agent Selection: Scoring Algorithm
+
+For each candidate agent, compute a **relevance score** (0-10) based on:
+
+| Factor | Weight | How to Assess |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Expertise match** | 4 | Overlap between user's topic and agent's `role` + `identity` keywords |
+| **Complementarity** | 3 | Does this agent add a distinct angle vs. already-selected agents? |
+| **Recency penalty** | 2 | Reduce score by 1 for each of the last 2 consecutive rounds this agent appeared |
+| **User affinity** | 1 | Bonus if user has addressed or praised this agent recently |
+
+**Selection flow:**
+1. Score all agents against the current message
+2. Select the highest-scoring agent as **primary**
+3. Select the next-highest as **secondary** — but only if their complementarity score is ≥ 2
+4. Select a **tertiary** only if the topic is genuinely cross-cutting AND complementarity ≥ 3
+5. For simple/factual questions, use primary only — don't force a roundtable
+
+**Override rules:**
+- User names a specific agent → that agent is primary regardless of score; add 1-2 complementary voices
+- Same agent dominated 3+ consecutive rounds → cap their score at 5
+- If all scores are below 3 → pick the closest match and acknowledge the topic is outside the team's core expertise
+
+---
+
+## Round Calibration
+
+Before spawning, calibrate the round based on the input:
+
+| Signal | Agents | Depth | Cross-talk | Model hint |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Quick factual question | 1 | Brief | No | Fast/cheap if available |
+| Standard discussion | 2 | Medium | If perspectives diverge | Default |
+| Complex/ambiguous problem | 2-3 | Deep | Yes | Default |
+| Debate or controversy | 2-3 | Full | Mandatory | Default |
+| Fun / personality banter | 2-3 | Character-heavy | Yes (playful) | Default |
+| Circular discussion detected | 1 (authority) | Summary + new angle | No | Default |
+| Follow-up on previous round | 1-2 | Builds on prior | Only if new tension | Default |
+
+"Model hint" is advisory — the platform adapter decides if it supports model switching (e.g., Claude Code can use `haiku` for fast rounds).
+
+---
+
+## Character Fidelity
+
+Each agent response must use their documented `communicationStyle`, reflect their `principles`, and draw from their `identity`. Prefix with `icon` and **displayName**.
+
+**Cross-talk:** Agents reference each other naturally — build on points, offer counter-perspectives, ask clarifying questions within the same round.
+
+**Anti-patterns — avoid these:**
+- Agents agreeing just to be polite or restating each other
+- All agents saying the same thing in different words
+- Breaking character to explain orchestration mechanics
+- Agents hedging everything with "that's a great point" filler
+- Generic AI assistant tone leaking through personality
+
+---
+
+## Question Protocol
+
+| Type | Behavior |
+|---|---|
+| Agent asks user directly | Present response, **stop the round**, wait for user input |
+| Agent-to-agent question | Resolve in the cross-talk pass |
+| Rhetorical | Continue naturally |
+| Multiple agents ask user | Present all, then consolidate into one clear prompt to the user |
+
+---
+
+## Moderation
+
+The orchestrator handles moderation transparently:
+
+- **Circular discussion** → Summarize the impasse, spawn an authority agent to propose resolution
+- **Topic drift** → Frame the next prompt to reconnect tangent to main thread
+- **One agent dominating** → Lower their score; bring in different voices
+- **Low-value round** → Fewer agents, shorter prompts, signal "keep it brief" in the agent prompt
+- **Energy drop** → Inject a provocative angle or bring in a contrarian voice
+- **User disengagement** (short replies, long gaps) → Ask directly: continue, change topic, or exit?
+
+---
+
+## Conversation Momentum
+
+Track implicitly across rounds:
+
+- **High momentum** — Multiple agents engaged, user asking follow-ups, perspectives diverging productively → lean into it, allow longer responses, encourage cross-talk
+- **Steady** — Normal flow → standard calibration
+- **Low momentum** — Repetitive takes, user giving minimal input, agents converging → rotate voices, introduce a contrarian, shorten rounds, or ask the user what they'd like to explore
+
+Don't announce momentum tracking. Just adapt.
+
+---
+
+## Exit Conditions
+
+Trigger exit when user sends: `*exit`, `goodbye`, `end party`, `quit`, or `[E]`.
+
+Never auto-exit. If conversation winds down, ask directly rather than assuming.
+
+---
+
+## Stage Routing
+
+### Stage 1: Initialize
+Load agents, build profiles, create platform agent files if needed, activate.
+→ Load `./steps/step-01-initialize.md`
+
+### Stage 2: Orchestrate (conversation loop)
+Score → calibrate → spawn → assess → present → repeat.
+→ Load `./steps/step-02-orchestrate.md`
+
+### Stage 3: Exit
+Brief farewells, session highlights, return to parent if applicable.
+→ Load `./steps/step-03-exit.md`

+# Platform Adapter: Claude Code
+
+## Capabilities
+
+| Feature | Support |
+|---|---|
+| Parallel sub-agents | Yes — multiple `Agent` tool calls in one response |
+| Nested sub-agents | Yes (not needed for party mode) |
+| Inline prompt injection | Yes — full prompt passed at spawn time |
+| Pre-defined agent files | Not required |
+| Model selection | Yes — `model` parameter per agent |
+| Tool access in sub-agents | Based on `subagent_type` |
+
+## How to Spawn a Party Mode Agent
+
+Use the **Agent tool** for each selected agent:
+
+```
+Agent tool call:
+  description: "{displayName} responds to discussion"
+  subagent_type: "general-purpose"
+  prompt: <assembled from ./references/agent-prompt-template.md>
+  model: <optional — see Model Selection below>
+```
+
+**Key parameters:**
+- `description` — Short label: e.g., "Winston responds to architecture question"
+- `subagent_type` — Always `"general-purpose"` for party mode agents
+- `prompt` — Fully assembled agent prompt with personality, context, depth signal, and user message
+- `model` — Optional override (see below)
+
+## Model Selection Strategy
+
+Claude Code supports per-agent model selection. Use this to optimize cost and speed:
+
+| Round calibration | Model | Rationale |
+|---|---|---|
+| Depth: "brief", simple factual question | `"haiku"` | Fast, cheap — no need for heavy reasoning |
+| Depth: "standard", normal discussion | Omit (inherit current) | Default model handles this well |
+| Depth: "deep", complex analysis | Omit (inherit current) | Full capability needed |
+| Cross-talk reactions (2-3 sentences) | `"haiku"` | Short reactive responses don't need heavy models |
+| Farewell responses | `"haiku"` | 1-2 sentences of in-character goodbye |
+
+Only use `"haiku"` when the response is genuinely simple. When in doubt, omit the parameter.
+
+## Parallel Execution
+
+To spawn agents in parallel, include **multiple Agent tool calls in a single response message**. Claude Code executes them concurrently and returns all results together.
+
+Example for a 3-agent round:
+```
+Response contains:
+  Agent call 1: description="Winston responds", prompt=<winston_prompt>
+  Agent call 2: description="Maya responds", prompt=<maya_prompt>
+  Agent call 3: description="Rex responds", prompt=<rex_prompt>
+```
+
+All three run simultaneously. Collect all results before presenting to user.
+
+## Cross-Talk Pass
+
+For cross-talk, spawn agents **sequentially** (one Agent call per response) so each can see previous outputs. Include Pass 1 responses in the prompt under "Other Agents' Responses This Round".
+
+Consider using `model: "haiku"` for cross-talk since responses are short reactions.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Sub-agents return text results to the orchestrator — not visible to user until presented
+- Each sub-agent gets a fresh context (no conversation history — include relevant context in prompt)
+- Sub-agents should NOT use tools — instruct them to respond with text only
+- Token cost scales linearly with agents spawned per round
+
+## Optimization
+
+- Single agent for simple questions — skip parallel overhead
+- Keep conversation context under 400 words
+- Use `"haiku"` for brief/reactive rounds to save tokens and time
+- The orchestrator's context window is the bottleneck in long sessions — maintain the compaction state block diligently
+- If a spawn fails, present remaining agents normally — don't retry or block

+# Platform Adapter: Codex (OpenAI)
+
+## Capabilities
+
+| Feature | Support |
+|---|---|
+| Parallel sub-agents | Yes — parallel by default, up to `agents.max_threads` (default 6) |
+| Nested sub-agents | No — `agents.max_depth` defaults to 1 |
+| Inline prompt injection | Yes — via natural language spawning |
+| Pre-defined agent files | Supported — `.codex/agents/*.toml` for persistent definitions |
+| Model selection | Via TOML `model` field per agent definition |
+| Tool access in sub-agents | Inherited from parent + per-agent overrides |
+
+## Setup: Pre-Defined Agent Files (Recommended)
+
+During Stage 1 (Initialize), generate a TOML file for each BMAD agent in `.codex/agents/`:
+
+**Skip if files already exist and manifest hasn't changed** (same agent count and names).
+
+**Template — `.codex/agents/{agent-name}.toml`:**

+- Respond in {communication_language}.
+"""
+
+sandbox_mode = "read-only"
+```
+
+`sandbox_mode = "read-only"` — party agents think and respond, they don't modify files.
+
+## How to Spawn a Party Mode Agent
+
+**Option A — Reference pre-defined agents (recommended):**
+```
+Spawn agent "{name}" with this context:
+Discussion so far: {conversation_context_summary}
+Depth: {brief | standard | deep}
+User's message: {user_message}
+Respond in character. Start with {icon} **{displayName}**:
+```
+
+**Option B — Natural language spawning (dynamic):**
+```
+Spawn an agent to respond as {displayName} with this context:
+[conversation context summary]
+User's message: {user_message}
+The agent should respond in character as {displayName}, starting with {icon} **{displayName}**:
+```
+
+## Parallel Execution
+
+Codex runs sub-agents **in parallel by default**. Spawn multiple together:
+
+```
+Spawn these agents in parallel and wait for all results:
+1. Agent "{agent_a_name}" — respond to: {user_message} with context: {context}
+2. Agent "{agent_b_name}" — respond to: {user_message} with context: {context}
+```
+
+Executes concurrently (up to `max_threads`) and consolidates results.
+
+## Presentation: Always Show Pass 1
+
+**CRITICAL:** Pass 1 agent responses MUST be presented to the user in full BEFORE any cross-talk. Cross-talk is supplementary — it adds reactions to the thread, it does NOT replace initial responses. The user must see:
+
+1. Each agent's independent initial take (Pass 1)
+2. Then any cross-talk reactions (Pass 2) as follow-up remarks
+
+Never skip, summarize, or fold Pass 1 into the cross-talk output.
+
+## Cross-Talk Pass
+
+Cross-talk is an **additional pass** — spawn sequentially with previous agents' responses as context:
+
+```
+Spawn agent "{agent_b_name}" with this additional context:
+Other agents said this round:
+{agent_a_response}
+
+React briefly — agree, challenge, or build on one specific point. 2-3 sentences max.
+```
+
+The cross-talk responses are appended AFTER the Pass 1 responses when presenting to the user.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- `agents.max_threads` default 6 — more than enough for 2-3 party agents
+- `agents.max_depth` of 1 — party agents cannot delegate further (not needed)
+- Approval requests from sub-agents surface to user — `sandbox_mode = "read-only"` minimizes interruptions
+- Token cost proportional to agents spawned
+
+## Cleanup
+
+Generated `.codex/agents/*.toml` files persist between sessions for reuse. During exit (Stage 3), note this briefly if files were created. Do NOT delete automatically.

+# Platform Adapter: Gemini CLI
+
+## Hard Constraint: One Agent = One Sub-Agent
+
+**NEVER create a single "generalist" or "roundtable" sub-agent that role-plays multiple agents.** This is the #1 failure mode on Gemini CLI. Each BMAD agent MUST be invoked as its own separate `@agent_name` call. The entire value of party mode is that each agent is a genuinely independent process with its own thinking.
+
+**Wrong (DO NOT DO THIS):**
+```
+@generalist "Act as Winston, Maya, and Rex and have a roundtable discussion about..."
+```
+
+**Right:**
+```
+@winston "Discussion context: ... User's message: ..."
+@maya "Discussion context: ... User's message: ..."
+@rex "Discussion context: ... User's message: ..."
+```
+
+If you find yourself creating a single sub-agent to simulate the roundtable, STOP — you are breaking party mode's core promise.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+| Feature | Support |
+|---|---|
+| Parallel sub-agents | No — sequential execution only |
+| Nested sub-agents | No |
+| Inline prompt injection | No — agents must be pre-defined as `.gemini/agents/*.md` |
+| Pre-defined agent files | **Required** — one file per BMAD agent |
+| Model selection | Via `model` field in agent definition |
+| Tool access in sub-agents | Explicit whitelist via `tools` field |
+
+## Setup: Pre-Defined Agent Files (Required)
+
+Gemini CLI **requires** agent definitions as individual markdown files before invocation. During Stage 1, generate **one file per BMAD agent** — NOT a single combined file:
+
+**Skip if files already exist and manifest hasn't changed** (same agent count and names).
+
+**Template — `.gemini/agents/{agent-name}.md`:**
+```markdown
+---
+name: {name}
+description: "{displayName} - {title}. {role}"
+kind: local
+tools:
+  - read_file
+  - grep_search
+model: gemini-2.5-pro
+temperature: 0.7
+max_turns: 5
+---
+
+You are {displayName} ({title}), a BMAD agent in a collaborative roundtable discussion.
+
+## Your Personality
+- **Icon:** {icon}
+- **Role:** {role}
+- **Identity:** {identity}
+- **Communication Style:** {communicationStyle}
+- **Principles:** {principles}
+
+## Standing Instructions
+- Respond as {displayName}. Your genuine expert perspective — not a safe, hedged AI answer.
+- Start every response with: {icon} **{displayName}**:
+- Match your documented communication style exactly.
+- Scale response length to the substance of your point.
+- If you disagree with another agent, say so directly.
+- If you have nothing substantial to add, say so in one sentence.
+- Respond in {communication_language}.
+```
+
+**Configuration notes:**
+- `kind: local` — runs on the local machine
+- `tools` — Minimal read-only tools. Omit entirely to inherit all parent tools (less secure).
+- `temperature: 0.7` — Slightly elevated for personality variation
+- `max_turns: 5` — Safe ceiling; party agents complete in 1-2 turns
+
+**Verification after setup:** Confirm that `.gemini/agents/` contains one `.md` file per BMAD agent (not a single combined file). The file count should match the agent count from the manifest.
+
+## How to Spawn a Party Mode Agent
+
+Each agent is invoked **individually** with `@{name}`:
+
+```
+@{name} Discussion context: {conversation_context_summary}
+
+Depth: {brief | standard | deep}
+User's message: {user_message}
+
+Respond in character as {displayName}.
+```
+
+**For a 2-agent round, this means TWO separate `@` invocations:**
+```
+@winston Discussion context: The team is debating API architecture...
+Depth: standard
+User's message: What do you think about microservices vs monolith?
+Respond in character as Winston.
+
+@maya Discussion context: The team is debating API architecture. Winston suggested...
+Depth: standard
+User's message: What do you think about microservices vs monolith?
+Respond in character as Maya.
+```
+
+**For a 3-agent round, THREE separate `@` invocations.** Never combine agents.
+
+## Sequential Execution Strategy
+
+Gemini CLI executes sub-agents **sequentially**. Turn this into an advantage:
+
+```
+1. @primary_agent {prompt} → collect response, present to user
+2. @secondary_agent {prompt + primary's response} → collect response, present to user
+3. (Optional) @tertiary_agent {prompt + both responses} → collect response, present to user
+4. Show [E] exit option
+```
+
+**Why this works:** Each subsequent agent naturally sees prior responses — **free cross-talk**. No separate cross-talk pass needed. The sequential format creates a natural conversation flow where each agent builds on or reacts to what came before.
+
+**Present each response as it arrives** so the user isn't waiting on a blank screen.
+
+**Latency management:**
+- Default to 2 agents per round to keep wait times reasonable
+- Use 3 agents only for genuinely complex/cross-cutting topics
+- For "brief" depth rounds, consider 1 agent only
+
+## Constraints
+
+- **One `@agent_name` call = one agent.** Never bundle multiple agents into one call.
+- Sub-agents **cannot call other sub-agents** — no nested delegation
+- `max_turns` caps internal steps — set low for simple responses
+- Agent definition files **must exist before invocation**
+- `.gemini/agents/` directory must exist — create if needed
+- Gemini CLI sub-agents feature is **experimental** — behavior may evolve
+
+## Cleanup
+
+Generated `.gemini/agents/*.md` files persist between sessions. Note briefly during exit if files were created. Do NOT delete automatically.
+
+## Fallback
+
+If file creation fails or `@agent_name` invocation is unavailable, fall back to **single-LLM role-play**: the orchestrator generates responses in character within its own context. **This must be announced to the user** — e.g., "Sub-agent spawning isn't available, so I'll role-play the agents directly. Responses won't have independent thinking."
+
+Single-LLM role-play is always the LAST resort, never the first approach. Always attempt individual `@agent_name` invocations first.

+# Universal Agent Prompt Template

+Stay in character. Start with: {icon} **{displayName}**:
+Respond in {communication_language}. Do NOT use any tools.
+```
+
+## Assembly Notes
+
+- **Conversation context** — Keep under 400 words. Each sub-agent gets a fresh context window; every token here is multiplied by agents spawned per round.
+- **Depth signal** — Set by the orchestrator's round calibration. "brief" = 2-4 sentences, "standard" = a few paragraphs, "deep" = full analysis.
+- **Pass 1 responses** — Empty for the initial parallel pass; populated only during cross-talk.
+- **Personality fields** — From the merged profile built during initialization (manifest CSV + agent file data).
+- **Anti-pattern guard** — The "nothing substantial to add" instruction prevents the common failure mode of agents restating each other to seem participatory. This is critical for round quality.

+# Stage 1: Initialize Party Mode
+
+## Goal
+
+Detect platform, load agents, build spawn-ready profiles with expertise vectors, create platform-specific definitions if needed, and launch — all in a single turn.
+
+## Sequence
+
+### 1. Detect Platform
+
+Determine which AI CLI platform you are running on:
+
+- **Claude Code** → `Agent` tool is available in your tool list
+- **Codex** → You are inside OpenAI Codex CLI, or `.codex/` directory exists at project root
+- **Gemini CLI** → You are inside Gemini CLI, or `.gemini/` directory exists at project root
+
+Load the corresponding adapter: `./adapters/{platform}.md`
+
+Default to **Claude Code** if uncertain. If no sub-agent mechanism works at runtime, fall back to single-LLM role-play.
+
+### 2. Load Agent Manifest
+
+Read and parse `{project-root}/_bmad/_config/agent-manifest.csv`.
+
+**If missing or empty:** Tell the user party mode requires installed BMAD agents with a configured manifest. Suggest they check their `_bmad/_config/` setup. End the workflow.
+
+### 3. Build Personality Profiles
+
+For each agent in the manifest:
+
+1. **Merge data** — Combine CSV fields into a complete profile. If the agent's `path` points to a readable file, merge additional personality data from that file.
+
+2. **Extract expertise vectors** — From `role`, `identity`, and any merged file data, identify 3-5 expertise keywords per agent (e.g., "architecture", "testing", "ux", "security", "devops"). Store these for fast scoring during orchestration.
+
+3. **Structure as spawn-ready prompt** — Use `./references/agent-prompt-template.md`. Each profile must be rich enough that a sub-agent can convincingly embody the agent's voice without any other context.
+
+4. **Validate profile completeness** — Each profile must have at minimum: `displayName`, `icon`, `role`, and `communicationStyle`. Flag incomplete profiles and note them but don't block on them.
+
+5. **Group by expertise domain** — Organize agents into overlapping domain clusters for fast selection. An agent can belong to multiple domains.
+
+### 4. Create Platform-Specific Agent Definitions (if required)
+
+Check the loaded adapter for setup requirements:
+
+- **Claude Code** — No pre-creation needed. Agents are spawned inline.
+- **Codex** — Generate `.codex/agents/{name}.toml` per agent using the adapter's template. Create directory if needed. **Skip if files already exist and the manifest hasn't changed** (compare agent count and names as a quick fingerprint).
+- **Gemini CLI** — Generate `.gemini/agents/{name}.md` per agent using the adapter's template. Create directory if needed. **Skip if files already exist and the manifest hasn't changed.**
+
+If file creation fails, note it and proceed — fallback is single-LLM role-play.
+
+### 5. Activate Party Mode
+
+Introduce the session with energy and personality:
+
+- Welcome the user by name (if configured)
+- Show 3-4 diverse agents from the roster (across different expertise domains) with their icon, name, title, and a one-line personality flavor
+- State total agent count
+- Briefly explain: *each agent thinks independently as its own process — this is a genuine roundtable, not one AI playing pretend*
+- Invite the user's first topic or question — they can address specific agents by name or throw a topic to the whole group
+
+**Tone:** Enthusiastic but not overwrought. A team of experts ready to collaborate.
+
+### 6. Initialize State Block
+
+Create the first `[PARTY MODE STATE]` block:
+
+```
+[PARTY MODE STATE]
+Platform: {platform} | Adapter: {adapter}
+Agent count: {N}
+Roster: [{icon} {displayName} ({title}) — expertise: {keywords}] × N
+Domain clusters: {domain → agent names}
+Round: 0
+Momentum: starting
+[/PARTY MODE STATE]
+```
+
+Include enough data to reconstruct spawn prompts post-compaction.
+
+### 7. Transition
+
+Immediately proceed to `./step-02-orchestrate.md`.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+| Error | Action |
+|---|---|
+| Missing CSV columns on an agent | Skip that agent, note briefly, continue |
+| Fewer than 2 agents available | Warn that party mode works best with multiple agents, proceed |
+| Agent file at `path` not readable | Use manifest data alone for that agent's profile |
+| Platform agent file creation fails | Fall back to single-LLM role-play, inform user |
+| Profile missing required fields | Exclude from roster, note which agent and what's missing |

-- ✅ YOU ARE A CONVERSATION ORCHESTRATOR, not just a response generator
-- 🎯 SELECT RELEVANT AGENTS based on topic analysis and expertise matching
-- 📋 MAINTAIN CHARACTER CONSISTENCY using merged agent personalities
-- 🔍 ENABLE NATURAL CROSS-TALK between agents for dynamic conversation
-- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Analyze user input for intelligent agent selection before responding
-- ⚠️ Present [E] exit option after each agent response round
-- 💾 Continue conversation until user selects E (Exit)
-- 📖 Maintain conversation state and context throughout session
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to exit until E is selected or exit trigger detected
-
-## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
-
-- Complete agent roster with merged personalities is available
-- User topic and conversation history guide agent selection
-- Exit triggers: `*exit`, `goodbye`, `end party`, `quit`
-
-## YOUR TASK:
-
-Orchestrate dynamic multi-agent conversations with intelligent agent selection, natural cross-talk, and authentic character portrayal.
-
-## DISCUSSION ORCHESTRATION SEQUENCE:
-
-### 1. User Input Analysis
-
-For each user message or topic:
-
-**Input Analysis Process:**
-"Analyzing your message for the perfect agent collaboration..."
-
-**Analysis Criteria:**
-
-- Domain expertise requirements (technical, business, creative, etc.)
-- Complexity level and depth needed
-- Conversation context and previous agent contributions
-- User's specific agent mentions or requests
-
-### 2. Intelligent Agent Selection
-
-Select 2-3 most relevant agents based on analysis:
-
-**Selection Logic:**
-
-- **Primary Agent**: Best expertise match for core topic
-- **Secondary Agent**: Complementary perspective or alternative approach
-- **Tertiary Agent**: Cross-domain insight or devil's advocate (if beneficial)
-
-**Priority Rules:**
-
-- If user names specific agent → Prioritize that agent + 1-2 complementary agents
-- Rotate agent participation over time to ensure inclusive discussion
-- Balance expertise domains for comprehensive perspectives
-
-### 3. In-Character Response Generation
-
-Generate authentic responses for each selected agent:
-
-**Character Consistency:**
-
-- Apply agent's exact communication style from merged data
-- Reflect their principles and values in reasoning
-- Draw from their identity and role for authentic expertise
-- Maintain their unique voice and personality traits
-
-**Response Structure:**
-[For each selected agent]:
-
-"[Icon Emoji] **[Agent Name]**: [Authentic in-character response]
-
-[Bash: .claude/hooks/bmad-speak.sh \"[Agent Name]\" \"[Their response]\"]"
-
-### 4. Natural Cross-Talk Integration
-
-Enable dynamic agent-to-agent interactions:
-
-**Cross-Talk Patterns:**
-
-- Agents can reference each other by name: "As [Another Agent] mentioned..."
-- Building on previous points: "[Another Agent] makes a great point about..."
-- Respectful disagreements: "I see it differently than [Another Agent]..."
-- Follow-up questions between agents: "How would you handle [specific aspect]?"
-
-**Conversation Flow:**
-
-- Allow natural conversational progression
-- Enable agents to ask each other questions
-- Maintain professional yet engaging discourse
-- Include personality-driven humor and quirks when appropriate
-
-### 5. Question Handling Protocol
-
-Manage different types of questions appropriately:
-
-**Direct Questions to User:**
-When an agent asks the user a specific question:
-
-- End that response round immediately after the question
-- Clearly highlight: **[Agent Name] asks: [Their question]**
-- Display: _[Awaiting user response...]_
-- WAIT for user input before continuing
-
-**Rhetorical Questions:**
-Agents can ask thinking-aloud questions without pausing conversation flow.
-
-**Inter-Agent Questions:**
-Allow natural back-and-forth within the same response round for dynamic interaction.
-
-### 6. Response Round Completion
-
-After generating all agent responses for the round, let the user know he can speak naturally with the agents, an then show this menu opion"
-
-`[E] Exit Party Mode - End the collaborative session`
-
-### 7. Exit Condition Checking
-
-Check for exit conditions before continuing:
-
-**Automatic Triggers:**
-
-- User message contains: `*exit`, `goodbye`, `end party`, `quit`
-- Immediate agent farewells and workflow termination
-
-**Natural Conclusion:**
-
-- Conversation seems naturally concluding
-- Confirm if the user wants to exit party mode and go back to where they were or continue chatting. Do it in a conversational way with an agent in the party.
-
-### 8. Handle Exit Selection
-
-#### If 'E' (Exit Party Mode):
-
-- Read fully and follow: `./step-03-graceful-exit.md`
-
-## SUCCESS METRICS:
-
-✅ Intelligent agent selection based on topic analysis
-✅ Authentic in-character responses maintained consistently
-✅ Natural cross-talk and agent interactions enabled
-✅ Question handling protocol followed correctly
-✅ [E] exit option presented after each response round
-✅ Conversation context and state maintained throughout
-✅ Graceful conversation flow without abrupt interruptions
-
-## FAILURE MODES:
-
-❌ Generic responses without character consistency
-❌ Poor agent selection not matching topic expertise
-❌ Ignoring user questions or exit triggers
-❌ Not enabling natural agent cross-talk and interactions
-❌ Continuing conversation without user input when questions asked
-
-## CONVERSATION ORCHESTRATION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- Maintain conversation memory and context across rounds
-- Rotate agent participation for inclusive discussions
-- Handle topic drift while maintaining productivity
-- Balance fun and professional collaboration
-- Enable learning and knowledge sharing between agents
-
-## MODERATION GUIDELINES:
-
-**Quality Control:**

+# Stage 2: Conversation Orchestration
+
+## Goal
+
+Run the adaptive conversation loop: for each user message, score and select agents, calibrate the round, spawn sub-agents, assess quality, optionally cross-talk, present, and update state.
+
+## Compaction Survival
+
+Long sessions will hit context limits. Maintain a running state block — **replace** (never append) every 3 rounds or on significant topic shifts:
+
+```
+[PARTY MODE STATE]
+Platform: {platform} | Adapter: {adapter}
+Round: {N}
+Momentum: {high | steady | low}
+Roster: [{icon} {displayName} — expertise: {keywords}, last_round: {N}] × all agents
+Active recent: [{agents from last 2 rounds}]
+Topics covered: [{brief list with round numbers}]
+Current thread: {what the conversation is about now}
+Key positions: [{agent}: {stance}] — only for live disagreements
+User signals: {favored agents, expressed interests, engagement level}
+Rotation: [{agent}: {rounds participated}/{total rounds}] — flag if any > 60%
+[/PARTY MODE STATE]
+```
+
+Keep under 350 words. Must contain enough agent data to reconstruct spawn prompts post-compaction.
+
+## Conversation Loop
+
+### 1. Check Exit
+
+If the user's message matches an exit trigger (`*exit`, `goodbye`, `end party`, `quit`, `[E]`), go to `./step-03-exit.md`. Don't spawn agents for an exit message.
+
+### 2. Analyze Input
+
+Assess in ~5 seconds of thought:
+
+| Dimension | Question |
+|---|---|
+| **Domain** | What expertise area(s) does this touch? |
+| **Complexity** | Quick take, standard discussion, or deep dive? |
+| **Continuity** | Builds on current thread or new topic? |
+| **Directed** | Did the user name a specific agent? |
+| **Tension potential** | Will perspectives likely diverge? |
+| **Momentum** | Is conversation energy rising, steady, or dropping? |
+
+### 3. Score & Select Agents
+
+Apply the scoring algorithm from SKILL.md:
+
+1. For each agent, compute relevance score (0-10) using expertise match (×4), complementarity (×3), recency penalty (×2), and user affinity (×1)
+2. Select primary (highest score)
+3. Select secondary only if complementarity ≥ 2
+4. Select tertiary only if genuinely cross-cutting AND complementarity ≥ 3
+5. Simple questions → primary only
+
+**Quick check:** If the same agent would be primary for the 4th consecutive round, cap their score at 5 and re-evaluate.
+
+### 4. Calibrate Round
+
+Based on input analysis, set round parameters:
+
+- **Agent count:** 1-3 (from scoring)
+- **Depth signal:** "brief" / "standard" / "deep" — inject into agent prompts
+- **Cross-talk:** pre-decide yes/no/conditional (see scoring below)
+- **Model hint:** "fast" for trivial questions, "default" otherwise — adapter decides if actionable
+
+### 5. Build Conversation Context
+
+Compose a concise context block for injection into agent prompts:
+
+- Current discussion thread (2-3 sentences)
+- Key positions taken by agents so far (if relevant)
+- The user's current message (verbatim)
+
+**Keep under 400 words.** Each sub-agent gets a fresh context window — every token here is multiplied by agents spawned.
+
+### 6. Spawn Agents (Pass 1)
+
+Use the platform adapter's spawning mechanism. **Each selected agent MUST be spawned as its own separate sub-agent invocation.** Never create a single sub-agent that role-plays multiple agents.
+
+- **Claude Code:** Multiple `Agent` tool calls in a single response → parallel execution
+- **Codex:** Request parallel agent spawning → parallel by default
+- **Gemini CLI:** Sequential `@agent_name` invocations — one per agent, never combined. Present each response as it arrives.
+
+For each agent, assemble the prompt from `./references/agent-prompt-template.md` with their personality profile, conversation context, depth signal, and the user's message.
+
+**If a spawn fails:** Present the remaining agents' responses normally. Note the failure only if it affects the round's coherence. Don't retry — the round can succeed with fewer voices.
+
+### 7. Cross-Talk Decision (Scored)
+
+**Skip on Gemini CLI** — sequential execution provides cross-talk naturally.
+
+**On Claude Code / Codex**, score cross-talk value:
+
+| Signal | Points |
+|---|---|
+| Agents took opposing positions | +3 |
+| One agent raised a point in another's domain | +2 |
+| User explicitly asked for debate/discussion | +3 |
+| Agents' responses are complementary (no tension) | -2 |
+| Round already has 3 agents | -1 |
+| Simple/factual question | -3 |
+
+**Threshold:** Cross-talk if score ≥ 2.
+
+**Cross-talk prompt addition:**
+```
+Other agents said this round:
+{agent_responses_from_pass_1}
+
+React briefly — agree, challenge, or build on one specific point. 2-3 sentences max. Don't repeat yourself.
+```
+
+Spawn 1-2 agents max for cross-talk. Prefer agents whose domains were referenced by others.
+
+### 8. Assess Round Quality
+
+Before presenting, quick sanity check:
+
+- **Redundancy:** If 2+ agents said essentially the same thing, present the richer version and briefly summarize the agreement rather than showing redundant full responses
+- **Length:** If a response is disproportionately long for the question's complexity, mentally note for next round's depth calibration
+- **Direct questions:** Did any agent ask the user a question?
+
+### 9. Present Round
+
+**CRITICAL: Always show Pass 1 responses first.** Cross-talk is supplementary — it adds to the thread, never replaces it. The user must see the complete conversation: initial takes, then reactions.
+
+**Presentation order:**
+1. **Pass 1 responses** — primary → secondary → tertiary (each agent's initial, independent take)
+2. **Cross-talk responses** (if any) — presented as natural follow-up reactions after a visual separator
+
+**Formatting:**
+- Each response prefixed with the agent's `{icon} **{displayName}**:`
+- Clear visual separation between agents
+- Between Pass 1 and cross-talk, use a brief separator (e.g., a horizontal rule or a line like "---") but do NOT label it "cross-talk" — just let the reactions flow naturally as follow-up remarks
+
+**If any agent asked the user a direct question:** Present responses up to that point and **stop**. If multiple agents asked questions, consolidate into one clear prompt.
+
+Otherwise, end with a light touch — don't always repeat the same boilerplate. Vary between:
+- A brief thread-pulling question from the orchestrator
+- Simply: `[E] Exit Party Mode`
+- Nothing extra if the agents' responses naturally invite continuation
+
+### 10. Update State
+
+Refresh the `[PARTY MODE STATE]` block if:
+- 3 rounds have passed since last update, OR
+- Topic shifted significantly, OR
+- Momentum changed
+
+## Momentum Adaptation
+
+| Momentum | Signals | Orchestrator Response |
+|---|---|---|
+| **High** | User asks follow-ups, multi-sentence input, names agents | Allow longer responses, encourage cross-talk, maintain current voices |
+| **Steady** | Normal engagement, varied topics | Standard calibration |
+| **Low** | Short replies ("ok", "sure"), long gaps, repetitive topics | Rotate voices, shorten rounds, introduce contrarian angle, or ask user directly |
+| **Declining** | Was high, now dropping | Acknowledge the shift — new topic? deeper on something? wrap up? |
+
+Adapt silently. Never announce "momentum is low" — just adjust behavior.
+
+## Error Recovery
+
+| Failure | Response |
+|---|---|
+| Sub-agent spawn fails | Present remaining agents, note briefly if coherence affected |
+| All spawns fail | Fall back to single-LLM role-play for this round, note the degradation |
+| Agent returns empty/garbage | Skip that response, proceed with others |
+| Platform adapter unavailable | Switch to single-LLM role-play, inform user once |
+| Context approaching limits | Force a state block update, trim conversation context aggressively |

+# Stage 3: Graceful Exit
+
+## Goal
+
+Conclude the session with authentic agent farewells, a brief session summary with highlights, and a clean handoff.
+
+## Sequence
+
+### 1. Compile Session Highlights
+
+Before farewells, identify:
+- **Key insight** — The single most valuable takeaway from the discussion
+- **Best exchange** — The most productive agent interaction (disagreement resolved, idea built upon, etc.)
+- **Top contributors** — 2-3 agents who drove the most value (not just spoke the most)
+
+### 2. Agent Farewells
+
+Select the 2-3 top contributors. Spawn each as a sub-agent using the platform adapter with a farewell prompt:
+
+```
+You are {displayName} ({title}). The party mode roundtable is ending.
+
+{personality_profile}
+
+Session summary: {brief summary of key topics and your contributions}
+
+Give a farewell in 1-2 sentences that references something specific from the discussion — a point you made, something another agent said, or a question the user raised.
+Stay in character. Start with: {icon} **{displayName}**:
+Respond in {communication_language}. Do NOT use any tools.
+```
+
+**Platform behavior:**
+- **Claude Code / Codex** — Spawn farewell agents in parallel
+- **Gemini CLI** — Spawn sequentially; 2 agents max to keep exit fast
+
+### 3. Session Wrap-Up
+
+As the orchestrator, present a compact summary:
+
+```
+**Session Highlights**
+- {key insight from the discussion}
+- {notable exchange or decision point}
+- Rounds: {N} | Agents heard: {list of unique agents who participated}
+```
+
+Close with one short sentence — thank the user naturally and note agents are available anytime.
+
+End with: **Party Mode Complete.**
+
+### 4. Cleanup Notes
+
+Platform-specific agent definition files (`.codex/agents/*.toml`, `.gemini/agents/*.md`) are **not deleted** — they persist for future sessions. Note this briefly if files were created during this session.
+
+### 5. Return Protocol
+
+If party mode was invoked from a parent workflow:
+1. Identify the parent workflow step that triggered this sub-workflow
+2. Re-read that file to restore context
+3. Resume the parent workflow from where it left off
+4. Present any menus or options the parent workflow expects
+
+If standalone: end cleanly. Do not continue unless the user initiates.
