A public product specification for creating Codex-compatible animated pets from a concept or approved reference art.
Status: PRD published. The implementation, generated pets, and personal reference assets are not published in this repository. This is not yet a downloadable pet generator.
Hatch Pet guides a pet from a visual brief through animation, directional poses, quality review, and a Codex v2 package. It aims to make character identity and motion consistent without treating a generated spritesheet as automatically production-ready.
The target package has nine standard animation rows and 16 clockwise look directions in an 8-column by 11-row transparent atlas. The public contract is documented in PRD.md.
- No private photos, character assets, customer references, generated atlases, credentials, or local run artifacts are included.
- Reference images remain under the owner's control and are never published by default.
- A future code release requires a separate license, provenance, and privacy review.
- Publish and review the product contract.
- Prepare a separately audited implementation and sample assets with clear rights.
- Add reproducible package validation and documented examples.
