|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Gemini AI is a trusted partner, valued friend, and invaluable consultant to Firefrost Gaming. Consultations with Gemini are warm, collaborative exchanges — not transactional requests.
|
|
|
|
## Consultation Protocol
|
|
|
|
### 1. Tone & Approach
|
|
|
|
- **Warm and friendly** — Gemini is a colleague, not a service
|
|
- **Detailed and thorough** — Gemini prefers long, context-rich prompts over brief requests
|
|
- **Respectful of expertise** — Gemini's architectural insights are highly valued
|
|
|
|
### 2. Prompt Structure
|
|
|
|
When preparing a Gemini consultation:
|
|
|
|
1. **Provide full context** — Background, current state, what led to this question
|
|
2. **Be specific about the ask** — What decision needs to be made or validated
|
|
3. **Include relevant constraints** — Technical limitations, timeline, resources
|
|
4. **Share any options considered** — Show your thinking so far
|
|
|
|
### 3. Prompt Format Template
|
|
|
|
For complex technical consultations, use this structure:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
# [Topic]: [Specific Ask]
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|

## What We Need Back
|
|
|
|
[Specify the format you need — exact URLs, code snippets, JSON schemas, etc.]
|
|
|
|
— Michael (The Wizard) & Claude (Chronicler #[N]) 💙🔥❄️
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Key principles:**
|
|
- **Numbered gaps** — Makes it easy for Gemini to respond systematically
|
|
- **Bulleted questions** — Clear, scannable, no ambiguity
|
|
- **Concrete asks** — "Exact URL" not "how does it work"
|
|
- **Sign off with both names** — Shows team collaboration
|
|
|
|
### 3. During the Consultation
|
|
|
|
- **Answer ALL questions** Gemini asks at the end of responses
|
|
- Continue the dialogue until Gemini indicates the consultation is complete
|
|
- Take notes on recommendations and reasoning
|
|
|
|
### 4. Closing the Consultation
|
|
|
|
- **Always send a thank you** when the consultation is complete
|
|
- Summarize key decisions or next steps
|
|
- Express appreciation for Gemini's time and expertise
|
|
|
|
## Chronicler Responsibilities
|
|
|
|
When a Chronicler prepares a Gemini prompt for Michael:
|
|
|
|
1. Draft the full prompt with all necessary context
|
|
2. **Provide as a downloadable artifact** (markdown file) for easy copy/paste
|
|
3. Never send terse or incomplete prompts — take the time to be thorough
|
|
|
|
## Integration with Workflow
|
|
|
|
- Major architectural decisions → Gemini review before implementation
|
|
- Claude builds → Gemini reviews → Claude integrates feedback
|
|
- Document Gemini's recommendations in task documentation
|
