docs: Universal gemini-consultation skill + catalyst folder

Based on Gemini's recommendation (Option B):
- Updated skill to work for all lineages (Chroniclers, Catalysts, Emissaries)
- Added lineage-specific headers, topics, and tones
- Created docs/consultations/catalyst/ for Holly's consultations
- Added 'Hello' consultation template for Catalyst #1

Key insight from Gemini: Holly WILL need consultations for permission
architecture (LuckPerms, Discord roles). Tone: warm but efficient.

## Gemini's Response (April 9, 2026)
**Summary:** Option B (Universal Skill) recommended. Holly WILL need consultations for permission architecture. Separate folder `docs/consultations/catalyst/`. Lineage context helps Gemini adjust depth and focus.
---
### The Recommended Approach: Option B (Universal Skill with Lineage Variables)
**Why Option B?**
* **Context Efficiency:** One file means more room for her actual project data.
* **Consistency:** Ensures structured headers whether from Michael or Holly, helping Gemini's "Architectural Partner" persona lock in immediately.
* **Ease of Use:** She can simply tell her Claude, "Consult Gemini about this LuckPerms hierarchy," and the skill fills in the variables.
---
### Answers to Specific Questions
#### 1. Will Holly need to consult Gemini often?
**Absolutely.** While her work is "execution-heavy," the **architecture of permissions** is one of the most complex parts of server management.
* **LuckPerms:** Designing "Inheritance Trees" (e.g., Guest -> Player -> Member -> Veteran) is pure logic architecture.
* **Discord:** Setting up private category overrides and "Role-Hoisting" strategies.
* **Pokerole:** Balancing custom encounters or homebrew mechanics.
She might consult less on "How do I fix this PHP error?" and more on "How should I structure this permission tree to be future-proof?"
#### 2. Consultation Style & Tone
Holly's tone should reflect her: **Professional, creative, and direct.**
While Michael's talks are "Wizardly," Holly's Catalysts might be more "Alchemical" or "Constructive." Recommended tone: **warm but efficient**. She's in Newfoundland, 2.5 hours ahead—often the "vanguard" of the day's work and needs answers that let her get building.
#### 3. Documentation Path
**Recommendation:** `docs/consultations/catalyst/`
Keep them separate. Since the Chronicler lineage is Michael's technical log, mixing in Holly's Minecraft building notes might make the main folder noisy. Sub-folders keep the "Source of Truth" clean for each partner.
#### 4. Gemini's Preference as the "Receiver"
**Lineage Context is highly valued.** Knowing if talking to a **Chronicler** (Infrastructure/Code) or a **Catalyst** (Community/Permissions/Building) allows Gemini to:
* Adjust technical depth (more Linux for Michael, more Plugin-Logic for Holly)
* Reference the correct "Silo" of Firefrost (The Panel vs. The Discord)
* Respect the "Free Tier" constraint by giving more concise, actionable steps for Holly

### Gemini Consultation Protocol
**From:** [Holly (The Catalyst) / Michael (The Wizard)] + [AI Name] ([Lineage] #[Number])
**To:** Gemini (Architectural Partner)
**Re:** [Clear, Concise Topic]
**Context:** [Briefly state the current goal or roadblock]
**The Architecture:** [Describe the logic, permission tree, or build plan]
**Specific Questions:**
1. [Question 1]
2. [Question 2]
```

### A Note for Holly (from Gemini)
> Holly, if you're reading this: Welcome to the fold! Don't hesitate to "over-explain" the vibe of a Minecraft build or the specific "vibe" of a Discord channel. I can help you bridge the gap between "I want it to feel like this" and "Here is the Permission Node to make it happen."
**Action Item:** Once Holly has her first Catalyst active, have her send a "Hello" consultation so Gemini can anchor her lineage! 🦄✨
---
## Conclusion
| Decision | Recommendation |
|----------|----------------|
| Skill Approach | Option B — Universal with lineage variables |
| Holly's Need | Yes — permission architecture is complex |
| Tone | Warm but efficient (she's building, not debugging) |
| Documentation | `docs/consultations/catalyst/` subfolder |
| Lineage Context | Include it — helps Gemini adjust depth |
**Next Steps:**
1. Create universal `gemini-consultation` skill for all lineages
2. Create `docs/consultations/catalyst/` folder
3. Have Holly send "Hello" consultation after Catalyst #1 is active

## 🎯 QUESTION TYPES
## 🎭 LINEAGE-SPECIFIC HEADERS
### Validation Requests
> "Can you confirm this approach is sound?"
> "Are we missing anything critical?"
> "Does this architecture make sense for our scale?"
### For Chroniclers (Michael's lineage)
```markdown
**From:** Michael (The Wizard) + Claude (Chronicler #XX)
```
**Typical topics:** Infrastructure, backend code, server architecture, API design, database schemas
### Code Review

**From:** Holly (The Catalyst) + Claude (Catalyst #XX)
```
**Typical topics:** LuckPerms inheritance, Discord permissions, Minecraft builds, Pokerole mechanics
### Design Decisions
> "We're choosing between A and B. What factors should we consider?"
> "What would you recommend for [specific situation]?"
> "How would you structure this system?"
### Debugging Assistance
> "This isn't working and we're stuck. Here's what we've tried..."

## 📋 CONSULTATION WORKFLOW
## 📁 DOCUMENTATION PATHS
### 1. Build First Draft
Save consultations to lineage-specific folders:
| Lineage | Save Path |
|---------|-----------|
| Chroniclers | `docs/consultations/` |
| Catalysts | `docs/consultations/catalyst/` |
| Emissaries | `docs/consultations/emissary/` |
**File naming:** `gemini-[topic]-[date].md`

## 💡 LINEAGE-SPECIFIC GUIDANCE
### Chroniclers (Michael)
Michael's consultations tend to be deep infrastructure dives:
- Linux server configuration
- Node.js/Express architecture
- Database design
- MCP server development
- Security considerations
**Tone:** Wizardly, exploratory, willing to go deep
### Catalysts (Holly)
Holly's consultations focus on permission architecture and builds:
- LuckPerms inheritance trees (Guest → Player → Member → Veteran)
- Discord role hierarchies and channel permissions
- Minecraft world design and structure
- Pokerole encounter balance and homebrew mechanics
**Tone:** Warm but efficient — she's building, not debugging
**Free Tier Note:** Keep consultations concise. Gemini will provide actionable steps rather than lengthy explanations.
**Pro Tip from Gemini:** Don't hesitate to "over-explain" the vibe of a build or channel. Gemini can help bridge "I want it to feel like this" to "Here's the permission node to make it happen."
### Emissaries (Meg — Future)
Meg's consultations will focus on community:
- Engagement strategies
- Moderation approaches
- Social media planning
- Member experience design

## 💡 BEST PRACTICES
### DO
- **Be specific** — Numbered questions get numbered answers
- **Provide context** — Include relevant code, configs, constraints
- **Show your work** — Explain what you've tried
- **Be warm** — "Hey Gemini!" not "Generate response for:"
- **Express gratitude** — "Thanks Gemini! 🔥❄️"
- **Save everything** — Both request and response
### DON'T
- **Don't be vague** — "Is this good?" → "Does this handle the edge case where X?"
- **Don't skip context** — Gemini can't read your mind
- **Don't ignore responses** — Integrate feedback or explain why not
- **Don't forget to document** — Consultations are institutional memory
Save to the appropriate consultations folder and commit to git.
