# Sandbox Sessions Directory

**Purpose:** Organize exploratory brainstorming sessions with alternate AIs (Gemini, ChatGPT, etc.)

## Workflow

1. **Brainstorm in Gemini** using SANDBOX-BRIEFING.md for context
2. **At end of session**, ask Gemini to format output using TEMPLATE.md structure
3. **Copy output** and save as new file: `gemini-[topic]-[date].md`
4. **Commit to Git** for Production Claude to review
5. **Implement in production** if validated

## File Naming Convention

- `gemini-ddos-strategy-2026-02-10.md`
- `gemini-subscriber-auth-2026-02-15.md`
- `chatgpt-discord-bot-ideas-2026-03-01.md`

## Status Indicators

- **Exploration:** Still thinking through ideas
- **Ready for Review:** Needs Production Claude evaluation
- **Implemented:** Idea executed in production
- **Archived:** Decided against, kept for reference

## Example Usage
```
1. Open Gemini
2. Paste: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frostystyle/firefrost-operations-manual/master/project-files/SANDBOX-BRIEFING.md
3. Brainstorm: "Let's explore DDoS protection options"
4. Ask Gemini: "Format our discussion using the template structure"
5. Copy output → Save as gemini-ddos-options-2026-02-10.md
6. git add, commit, push
7. Production Claude reviews and implements if validated
```

**This keeps sandbox work organized and reviewable!**
