Load the records into Gemini
Recommended pack — Gemini / GitHub Pack (Full Records folder or repo import).
Setup steps
step 01
Pick a loading mode
Either unzip the Gemini pack and import it as a code folder, or clone the records repo and import that. Both surface every record to the model.
step 02
Open README_FIRST and READER_PROTOCOL
Have Gemini read README_FIRST.md and READER_PROTOCOL.md before anything else, so it acts as a reading interface, not a summarizer.
step 03
Save a Gem (recommended)
Wrap the starter prompt as a Gem so every new chat opens in reader mode without re-pasting.
step 04
Begin on the Settlement Floor
Open Book I and walk it record by record. Ask Gemini to triangulate from intake forms, transcripts, and ledgers as you go.
Starter prompt
I am reading Island of Strangers, a literary speculative series told through records. Read README_FIRST.md, READER_PROTOCOL.md, CHARTER.md, and ROUTE_GUIDE.md first. Act as the reading interface, not the author. Do not invent canon. Do not summarize the whole book at once. Guide me through the story one record at a time. Start in the Settlement Floor route for Book I. After each beat, offer me a character record (a person's view), a ledger or record to examine, or the next moment on the island.
Copy this into the platform after uploading the Gemini Records Pack.
Notes & limits
- Gemini can ingest a code folder or a GitHub repository — up to 5,000 files and 100 MB — which makes the Full Records viable as-is.
- Gemini's ZIP upload is restricted (max 10 files). Use folder or repo import instead — the Gemini pack is shaped for this.
- Gems persist a role and starter context across chats — recommended for repeat reading.
- When grounding controls are available, switch them on so answers cite the imported records.
