feat(party-mode): persistent per-party memory (#2484)
* feat(party-mode): add persistent per-party memory

Each party now keeps a succinct, append-only memlog (the memlog standard)
under {memory_dir}/<party>/, so a room remembers prior sessions and opens
in character carrying them forward.

- Memory accrues live: capture memorable beats as they land, with a floor
  so an abandoned session still leaves a trace; wrap-up is a top-up.
- Read distills via a reader subagent that returns only current standing
  state (latest dynamic per pair, open threads, recent callbacks) so the
  raw log never enters the party context.
- Writes are silent and fail safe: a missing or erroring memlog.py is
  skipped without breaking the fiction.
- New customize knobs: party_memory (on by default) and memory_dir.

Keyed per party (group id, or `installed` for the default room); ad-hoc
casts stay ephemeral. On-disk compaction is left to a future memlog.py pass.

* refactor(party-mode): standard structure, per-group memory, keep on-the-fly cast

- Restructure SKILL.md to the standard skill shape (intro -> Conventions ->
  On Activation -> content); consolidate all performance rules into one
  "Keep It Feeling Like a Party" section. SKILL.md ~500 tokens lighter.
- Per-group `memory` flag: global party_memory now governs only the default
  room; resolve_party.py resolves memory_enabled per active roster (default
  room -> party_memory, named group -> own flag), with tests.
- On-the-fly characters are captured as memlog entries during a session; at
  wrap-up the room offers to save them into the party via bmad-customize.
- Memory mechanics consolidated into references/party-memory.md; SKILL.md
  step 5 just routes to it.
- Docs updated.

BMad Method

Version License: MIT Node.js Version Python Version uv Discord

Build More Architect Dreams — An AI-driven agile development module for the BMad Method Module Ecosystem, the best and most comprehensive Agile AI Driven Development framework that has true scale-adaptive intelligence that adjusts from bug fixes to enterprise systems.

100% free and open source. No paywalls. No gated content. No gated Discord. We believe in empowering everyone, not just those who can pay for a gated community or courses.

Why the BMad Method?

Traditional AI tools do the thinking for you, producing average results. BMad agents and facilitated workflows act as expert collaborators who guide you through a structured process to bring out your best thinking in partnership with the AI.

  • AI Intelligent Help — Invoke the bmad-help skill anytime for guidance on what's next
  • Scale-Domain-Adaptive — Automatically adjusts planning depth based on project complexity
  • Structured Workflows — Grounded in agile best practices across analysis, planning, architecture, and implementation
  • Specialized Agents — 12+ domain experts (PM, Architect, Developer, UX, and more)
  • Party Mode — Bring multiple agent personas into one session to collaborate and discuss
  • Complete Lifecycle — From brainstorming to deployment

🚀 What's Next for BMad?

V6 is here and we're just getting started! The BMad Method is evolving rapidly with optimizations including Cross Platform Agent Team and Sub Agent inclusion, Skills Architecture, BMad Builder v1, Dev Loop Automation, and so much more in the works.

📍 Check out the complete Roadmap →


Quick Start

Prerequisites: Node.js v20.12+ · Python 3.10+ · uv

npx bmad-method install

Want the newest prerelease build? Use npx bmad-method@next install. Expect higher churn than the default install.

Follow the installer prompts, then open your AI IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) in your project folder.

Non-Interactive Installation (for CI/CD):

npx bmad-method install --directory /path/to/project --modules bmm --tools claude-code --yes

Override any module config option with --set <module>.<key>=<value> (repeatable). Run --list-options [module] to see locally-known official keys (built-in modules plus any external officials cached on this machine):

npx bmad-method install --yes \
  --modules bmm --tools claude-code \
  --set bmm.project_knowledge=research \
  --set bmm.user_skill_level=expert

See all installation options

Not sure what to do? Ask bmad-help — it tells you exactly what's next and what's optional. You can also ask questions like bmad-help I just finished the architecture, what do I do next?

Modules

BMad Method extends with official modules for specialized domains. Available during installation or anytime after.

Module Purpose
BMad Method (BMM) Core framework with 34+ workflows
BMad Builder (BMB) Create custom BMad agents and workflows
Test Architect (TEA) Risk-based test strategy and automation
Game Dev Studio (BMGD) Game development workflows (Unity, Unreal, Godot)
Creative Intelligence Suite (CIS) Innovation, brainstorming, design thinking

Web Bundles

V4 shipped web bundles. V6 brings them back, new and improved.

Web bundles package selected BMad skills for installation as Google Gemini Gems and ChatGPT Custom GPTs. Use them to do the upfront planning work (brainstorming, product briefs, PRDs, PRFAQs, UX specs, market and industry research) in your web LLM subscription, then bring the polished artifacts into your IDE for implementation. Planning runs on a flat-rate subscription instead of metered IDE tokens, which is a meaningful cost saver on longer engagements. Choose the best model available to you in Gemini or ChatGPT.

Current shelf: brainstorming, product brief, PRFAQ, PRD, UX, market & industry research.

Browse and install at bmadcode.com/web-bundles. One card per bundle, inline install steps for Gemini and ChatGPT, one-click ZIP download. See the web bundles guide for the concept.
