Parallax Depth

Estimate reasoning depth from the shift between the current query and recent history (deep/medium/shallow). Use to set budget before a long answer. Scope boundary — START classes → `emergency-triage-compute`; zoom level → `cartographic-zoom`.

Parallax depth of query vs history

#50 · Domain: Photography / surveying · Category: advanced · Difficulty: 🟡 Medium

Core principle

Apparent motion against the background tells you distance.

AI problem addressed

Follow-ups get a full treatise or a shrug with no read on how deep the thread is.

Implementation

Overlap current query tokens with last 3 turns.

0.4 → deep (high budget); <0.1 → shallow (standard); else medium. Set reasoning_budget; do not invent history.

Boundaries

  • Prototype as prompt scaffold (🟢) before full pipeline middleware (🟡/🔴)
  • Category router: ai-transfer-advanced
  • Catalog: ai-transfer-ecosystem-primer
  • Runtime plugin id: parallax_depth
