WHAT WAS DONE: Created comprehensive consultation prompt for Gemini collaboration on the /rules Minecraft mod project. Prompt treats Gemini as a genuine technical partner and requests honest assessment of Discord-based approach. WHY: Michael wants to explore building a server-side NeoForge mod that displays server rules via /rules command. After analysis, we settled on Discord-based approach (rules as Discord messages that Holly can edit easily). Before committing to implementation, we want Gemini's technical perspective on: - Discord API integration with NeoForge mods - Performance/blocking concerns - Security (bot token storage) - Alternative approaches we might have missed Prompt is 2400+ words, covers full context about Firefrost Gaming, the problem we're solving, our design rationale, specific technical questions, success criteria, and partnership philosophy. This follows the pattern established with The Arbiter bot where Gemini collaboration produced excellent results. FILES CHANGED: - docs/sandbox/gemini-firefrost-rules-mod-consultation.md (new, 306 lines) NEXT STEPS: Michael will copy prompt to Gemini, we'll review response together, and iterate on design/implementation based on feedback.
