25# contents load as facts. Empty by default — repo-wide context belongs in AGENTS.md

32# install. Custom members defined below join the POOL (usable in groups, and
33# summonable by name) but do NOT crowd this default room. Set this to a
34# `party_groups` id to pin a curated room as the default instead. A runtime
35# `--party <id>` always wins.

41# the session; an unsupported mode (e.g. agent-team outside Claude Code) falls back
42# to "session". SKILL.md "How It Runs" is the authority on what each mode does.
43# "session" (default) never spawn — one mind voices every persona inline
44# "auto" voice inline for light rounds, spawn subagents when independent thinking matters

57# last — dynamics carried forward, memorable moments, organic callbacks, where
58# things landed. It is memory, not a transcript. Set false to turn the default
59# room's memory off. NAMED groups do NOT follow this flag: each carries its own

75# Custom party members — personas, added to the POOL alongside the installed
76# agents. The default room stays installed-only; a custom member shows up when a
77# group uses them or you summon one by name. Keyed by `code`: an override entry
78# with a matching code replaces the base one (retune a shipped member), a new
79# code appends. Fields:
80# code short unique handle, used in party_groups and to summon them
81# name display name
82# icon single emoji shown on their turns
83# title one-line role/identity
84# persona voice, humor, ethos, pet peeves, how they argue — the meat;
85# what makes them unmistakably themselves
86# capabilities (optional) what they can do when spawned as a real subagent;
87# woven into their spawn prompt as guidance, not a hard tool grant
88# model (optional) model to use when this member is spawned
89#
90# The members below ship built-in parties such as the "Code Review Crew" and
91# "Anti-Consensus Club" (see the party_groups section). They cost nothing until
92# summoned — the default room never includes them.

160# Named party groups — curated rooms picked at runtime with `--party <id>`
161# (alias `--group <id>`) or switched to mid-session. Keyed by `id`.
162#
163# `members` is a list of codes — installed agent codes, custom member codes, or
164# a mix. Override by `id` to retune a group; new ids append.
165#
166# An optional `scene` sets the stage: a freeform line (or a few) describing the
167# setting, what's happening, how the room behaves, and any in-the-moment
168# character notes — who's had a few, who's hostile to whom, who pressure-tests
169# hardest. The same members can power many scenes; define a member once, then
170# drop them into different rooms. No fixed vocabulary — the model reads it and
171# plays it.
172#
173# `members` is OPTIONAL. Leave it off and the group is open-cast: the `scene`
174# names a pool or universe and the room is cast on the fly — you don't enumerate
175# who shows up; the model picks who fits and can vary them by topic. List a few
176# members AND a scene to anchor some faces while the scene invites others in.
177#
178# `memory = true|false` is per group: true keeps the group's own memlog so it
179# remembers across sessions; false (the default when omitted) starts fresh each
180# time. The create/save/update-party flow asks when you don't say. Faces that
181# show up on the fly in a remembered party can be saved into its roster at the
182# end of a session.
