## When to Use This

## Prerequisites

## 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.
