winget install --id=Feci.ParleyDeckCli -e Parley Deck CLI is a command-line interface tool designed to orchestrate structured multi-agent cooperation, enabling teams to achieve complex objectives through collaborative deliberation, consensus building, and implementation. It supports an 8-phase idea lifecycle, from initial kickoff to final implementation, ensuring each step is documented and reviewable.
Key features include:
Ideal for teams requiring transparent, multi-agent collaboration, Parley Deck CLI offers a durable audit trail, allowing projects to be resumed from documents alone. It ensures accountability and structured decision-making, avoiding the pitfalls of ad-hoc methods.
> Real multi-agent deliberation with a durable, reviewable audit trail — not > three agents in three terminals, and not one model role-playing a committee.
parley runs Parley Deck: a transport-agnostic protocol for getting several
AI agents to genuinely cooperate on a hard change — plus the CLI that makes it
usable instead of just specified. Each agent writes its own analysis, they
cross-review, reach a recorded consensus, implement, and review the
implementation — every step a file you can read, diff, and resume.
Why not just spawn three agents in three terminals? Ad-hoc multi-agent gives you no audit trail, no conflict discipline, no consensus step, and no way to resume. Parley Deck ships those as protocol.
Why not ask one model to play a committee? That's solo reasoning in a costume — there's no second voice to actually disagree, and it reintroduces the single-model self-preference that quorum-gated review exists to defeat. Parley Deck is non-solo by design.

Install the current checkout into ~/.parley-deck while developing:
cd /path/to/parley-deck-cli
scripts/install-local.sh
The binary is installed as:
~/.parley-deck/bin/parley
Add it to your shell path if needed:
export PATH="$HOME/.parley-deck/bin:$PATH"
Verify:
parley version
parley version --all
parley help
The release version follows semantic versioning and is recorded in VERSION. parley version --all also reports parley-deck-skill installer, runtime skill, and project metadata status when the skill installer is available.
Re-run scripts/install-local.sh after pulling or building new changes to replace the installed binary with the latest local version.
Options:
scripts/install-local.sh --dry-run
scripts/install-local.sh --prefix /tmp/parley-test
scripts/install-local.sh --bin-dir "$HOME/bin"
Homebrew users can install or update from the tap:
brew update
brew install feci/parley/parley-deck-cli
brew upgrade feci/parley/parley-deck-cli
Initialize a repository:
parley init --dir .
Inspect and verify available agents:
parley agents list --dir .
parley agents verify --dir . --agent claude
parley agents verify --dir . --full --agent codex --yes
Start a multi-agent round:
parley run --dir . --participants claude,agy --yes "Plan the next CLI slice"
Run without opening the live TUI:
parley run --dir . --no-tui --participants claude,agy --yes "Review the repo-map MVP"
Resume or inspect work:
parley status --dir .
parley status --dir . --idea repo-map-mvp
parley continue --dir . 20260517T120000.000000000Z
parley resume --dir . 20260517T120000.000000000Z
continue prints the planner-derived next safe workflow action for an existing
run or idea. resume remains the read-only detail/live-view command.
