Implementation Steps (Next Session)

Phase 1: Create the Projects (15 min)

1. Go to claude.ai → Projects
2. Create "Firefrost Dev" project
   • Set default model preference note in instructions
3. Create "Firefrost Ops" project (may already exist — rename current?)
4. Create "Firefrost Marketing" project

Phase 2: Draft Master Documents (1-2 hours)

For Dev Project:

# ModpackChecker-State.md

## Current Status
- **Phase:** 5 of 11 complete
- **Blocker:** Blueprint dev mode corrupted after DB wipe
- **Recovery:** Reinstall Blueprint, restore from /root/modpackchecker_backup

## What's Built
- Phase 1: Scaffolding ✅
- Phase 2: Admin UI ✅
- Phase 3: React component ✅
- Phase 4: API controller (CurseForge/Modrinth/Technic/FTB) ✅
- Phase 5: UpdateBadge.tsx, cron command, status route (code written, not deployed) ✅

## What's Next
- Phase 6: Ignore button
- Phase 7: Backoff logic
- Phase 8-11: Docs, packaging, release

## Key Files
- /root/modpackchecker_backup (Phase 5 code)
- firefrost-services/modpack-version-checker/

## API Status
- CurseForge: Test key active, production app submitted
- Modrinth: Working
- Technic/FTB: Integrated

## Dev Panel
- URL: https://64.50.188.128
- Pterodactyl 1.12.2 + Blueprint beta-2026-01

For Ops Project:

# Infrastructure-Manifest.md

- 2 Trinity-only
- 1 video sandbox

## Future Add-ons (Not Minecraft)
- FoundryVTT (NC1, port 30000)
- Hytale (NC1, port 5520)

Phase 3: Upload to Projects (15 min)

1. Export/copy Master Docs to local files
2. Upload to each Project's Knowledge section
3. Verify Claude can reference them in new chats

Phase 4: Update Project Instructions (30 min)

Dev Project Instructions should include:

• "You are working on Firefrost Gaming development tasks"
• "Default to Opus 4.6 for this project"
• "Reference the ModpackChecker-State.md for current MVC status"
• Accessibility requirements (small code blocks, one question at a time)

Ops Project Instructions should include:

• Current Chronicler system prompt (what we have now)
• "Default to Opus 4.5 for this project"
• Session startup protocol

Marketing Project Instructions should include:

• Brand voice guidelines
• "Default to Opus 4.5 for this project"
• Platform-specific formatting rules

Phase 5: Test the Workflow (15 min)

1. Start new chat in Dev Project
2. Ask about ModpackChecker status — verify it reads from Knowledge
3. Start new chat in Ops Project
4. Ask about server infrastructure — verify it reads from Knowledge
5. Confirm context doesn't bleed between projects

The Micro-Session Workflow (Ongoing Practice)

Once set up, follow this loop:

1. Pick the right Project — Dev, Ops, or Marketing
2. Start a NEW chat for each task — don't extend old threads forever
3. Work the task — Claude has Master Docs as context automatically
4. When context bloats — Ask Claude to summarize, save to Google Doc, start fresh
5. When task completes — Ask Claude to generate updated state summary
6. Sync Master Docs — Update the canonical version, re-upload to Project Knowledge

task_number: 99

Success Criteria

• Three separate Claude Projects created (Dev, Ops, Marketing)
• Master Documents uploaded to each Project Knowledge
• Each project has appropriate instructions
• Test confirms Claude reads Project Knowledge without prompting
• No more copy-pasting the entire system prompt or architecture docs
• Model selection guidance embedded in project instructions

Dependencies

• None — all browser work, no SSH required
• Michael needs to be at PC to manage claude.ai Projects UI
• Brand Guidelines PDF (Michael bringing from work)
