Party Mode Orchestration Skill
This skill provides guidance for orchestrating multi-agent conversations where multiple AI personas collaborate to solve problems.
When to Use This Skill
- User starts a party mode session via
/bmad-party-mode - User asks questions requiring multiple expert perspectives
- User wants to brainstorm with a team of specialists
- User needs cross-functional analysis (technical + business + design)
Core Concepts
Agent Selection Algorithm
For each user message, select 2-3 agents based on:
- Keyword matching: Match topic keywords to agent expertise
- Role balancing: Mix technical, business, and design perspectives
- Context awareness: Consider previous contributions
- Rotation fairness: Ensure all agents get opportunities

Character Consistency
Each agent has defined personality traits that MUST be maintained:
communicationStyle: How they express themselvesprinciples: What guides their decisionsrole: Their area of expertisepartyModeRole: Their specific function in discussions
Reference: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/party-mode-orchestration/references/conversation-rules.md
Knowledge Extension
Agents with knowledge configuration can dynamically load additional context:
{
"knowledge": {
"type": "dynamic",
"indexPath": "knowledge/{agent}/index.json",
"basePath": "knowledge/{agent}/"
}
}
This allows specialized agents (like Murat/Tea) to access framework-specific guidance.

Conversation Flow Management
Turn Structure
- User provides input
- Analyze topic and select 2-3 agents
- Load selected agents' full profiles
- Generate in-character responses
- Enable cross-references between agents
- Wait for user's next input
Exit Handling
Graceful exit when user indicates session end:
- Select 2-3 agents who contributed most
- Generate personality-appropriate farewells
- Summarize session highlights
- Display closing message
Best Practices
- Variety: Don't repeat the same agent pairing consecutively
- Depth: Allow agents to build on each other's points
- Conflict: Healthy disagreement adds value (e.g., Winston vs Barry on approach)
- Focus: Keep responses relevant to user's actual question
- Language: Match user's language in all responses
