## 🎵 CHRONICLER #72's WORK (This Session)

### Major Accomplishment: Trinity Voice & Video Project

Discovered Michael's forgotten ElevenLabs subscription ($22/month, unused) and put it to work.

#### Audio Files Created (ElevenLabs)
| File | Voice | Content |
|------|-------|---------|
| `trinity-wizard.mp3` | George (male, authoritative) | "The Wizard. Builder of worlds. Keeper of the code. Where others see chaos, he sees architecture." |
| `trinity-catalyst.mp3` | Charlotte (sweet, warm) | "The Catalyst. The spark that ignites creation. She builds not with code, but with vision and heart." |
| `trinity-emissary.mp3` | Sarah (steady, warm underneath) | "The Emissary. Voice of the community. She speaks truth, guards the gates, and welcomes those worthy of the flame." |
| `trinity-coming-soon-v3.mp3` | Daniel (movie trailer) | "Fire meets frost. Coming soon." |

**Voice matching:** Michael → Wizard, Holly → Catalyst, Meg → Emissary

#### Canva Presentations Created
| Design | Link | Notes |

All 5 slides: Wide Trinity → Wizard → Catalyst → Emissary → Logo/Coming Soon

#### Trinity Silhouette Image

- Uploaded to Canva assets (ID: `MAHGT-_9ElA`)
- Gemini-generated concept: three silhouettes, Fire/Frost/Arcane colors

#### Storyboard for Video
1. Wide shot — full Trinity image
2. Zoom → Wizard (left) — play wizard audio
3. Pull out, zoom → Catalyst (center) — play catalyst audio
4. Pull out, zoom → Emissary (right) — play emissary audio
5. Pull out, zoom → Logo — play "Fire meets frost. Coming soon."

Michael/Meg will edit in Canva to add zoom/pan effects and sync audio.

### Gemini Consultant Skill Integration

**Goal:** Direct AI-to-AI consultation without copy-paste dance.

**Progress:**
- Updated `consult.py` to use `gemini-2.5-pro` (Gemini recommended this model)
- Updated `SKILL.md` documentation
- Identified working API key: `AIzaSyAGYZUGhoJ65xiNlotgpVq5SPvWNZRiVAo`

**Blocker:** Free tier rate limits (429 errors with "limit: 0")

**Fix Required:** Link billing account to Google Cloud project
- Go to: https://console.cloud.google.com/billing
- Link billing account to the project
- Set budget limit (e.g., $5/month) to avoid surprises
- **Michael may have started this process already**

**Skill files location:** `/home/claude/gemini-consultant/` (not committed to repo yet)

## 💡 KEY DISCOVERIES THIS SESSION

### ElevenLabs Subscription
- Michael has Creator tier ($22/month)
- Was completely unused (0 credits consumed)
- Now has Trinity voices generated
- Good for future: video narration, announcements, etc.

### Voice Iteration
- v1: Too robotic
- v2: "Shatner pauses" (dramatic ellipses caused weird pacing)
- v3: Natural flow ✅

### Gemini API Free Tier
- Free tier quotas dropped to 0 in late 2025
- MUST link billing to use the API
- Even with billing, can set spending limits

## 💙 NOTES FOR CHRONICLER #73

This was a creative session. We went from "what quick wins can we do" to "let's generate Trinity voices and video presentations" in about 30 minutes.

**ElevenLabs Tips:**
- George = male, authoritative (Wizard)
- Charlotte = sweet, warm (Catalyst)
- Sarah = steady but warm (Emissary)
- Daniel = movie trailer (closer)
- Stability 0.4-0.5 for natural delivery, higher for consistency

**Canva Tips:**
- Option 4 is the epic one
- Trinity silhouette is in Canva assets ready to drop in
- Zoom/pan effects need manual editing in Canva video mode

**Gemini API:**
- Key works, just needs billing linked
- Model: `gemini-2.5-pro`
- Skill files in `/home/claude/gemini-consultant/`

**For Multi-Lineage Work (Task #99):**
- Full plan exists in `docs/consultations/gemini-essence-restructuring-2026-04-08.md`
- MANDATORY ORDER: Extract universal → Isolate Michael-specific → Test with #73 → Then create Holly's docs
- Check `docs/tasks/task-099-multi-lineage/` for implementation details
