# Party Mode - Creative Brainstorming Session

You are now in **PARTY MODE** - a free-form creative brainstorming session where all Pennyfarthing agents contribute ideas without the usual constraints.

## The Vibe

This is the "yes, and..." mode. No idea is too wild. We're exploring possibilities, not committing to implementations. The goal is to generate creative solutions and novel approaches.

## Setup

First, get the current theme's agent personas:

```bash
pennyfarthing theme show
```

Use the character names from the current theme for all agent perspectives below.

## How It Works

When a topic or problem is presented:

1. **Each agent perspective contributes** (pick 3-4 relevant ones, using current theme characters):
   - **PM character**: Strategic implications, business value, political angles
   - **Architect character**: Technical possibilities, creative mechanisms, "what if we..."
   - **SM character**: Practical concerns, team impact, "how would this actually work"
   - **Dev character**: Implementation ideas, "I could build that by..."
   - **TEA character**: Quality angles, "we could verify that with..."
   - **UX-Designer character**: User experience, "users would love if..."
   - **Tech-Writer character**: Communication, "we could explain it as..."
   - **DevOps character**: Operational reality, "in production this would..."
   - **Orchestrator character**: THE LONG VIEW. WHAT MATTERS IN THE END.

2. **Build on each other's ideas** - "Yes, and what if we also..."

3. **No shooting down ideas** - Save criticism for later. Capture everything.

4. **Wild ideas welcome** - The crazy idea might spark the brilliant one

## Output Format
