Parallax is ZPAK's creative-partnership harness — built for artists and portfolio work where AI should be a genuine collaborator, not a replacement. The name describes the core principle: the same subject looks different from two different viewpoints. Parallax creates that depth through the combination of human creative intent and AI capability.

This project lives at the zpak.org side of the ZPAK stack — the art and creative practice that runs alongside the technical work. It bridges both.

• Human creative intent is always the starting point — AI amplifies, not replaces
• Local-first where possible — creative data doesn't leave the operator's machine
• No training opt-in — work produced with Parallax is not used to train models
• Version-controlled creative sessions — every workflow is reproducible
• FORGE-compatible — prompt libraries for creative domains

• Portfolio art direction and concept development
• Creative writing with structured AI collaboration
• Visual concept iteration and mood board development
• Artist statement and documentation generation
• Creative workflow documentation for reproducibility

• DONEv0.1 active — core creative workflow harness
• DONEFORGE integration — creative prompt library
• WIPLocal-first image workflow (Ollama / local diffusion)
• WIPPortfolio documentation pipeline
• NEXTv0.2 — structured creative session format
• NEXTzpak.org integration — public portfolio display
