## Steps
|
|
|
|
### 1. Load Any Agent
|
|
|
|
Start with any agent that supports party mode (most do).
|
|
|
|
### 2. Start Party Mode
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
*party-mode
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use the full path:
|
|
```
|
|
/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Introduce Your Topic
|
|
|
|
Present a topic or question for the group to discuss:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
I'm trying to decide between a monolithic architecture
|
|
and microservices for our new platform.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. Engage with the Discussion
|
|
|
|
The facilitator will:
|
|
- Select 2-3 most relevant agents based on expertise
|
|
- Let agents respond in character
|
|
- Enable natural cross-talk and debate
|
|
- Continue until you choose to exit
|
|
|
|
### 5. Exit When Ready
|
|
|
|
Type "exit" or "done" to conclude the session. Participating agents will say personalized farewells.
