SDD Derive

Orchestrate spec generation from existing code: a change directory (new or modified behavior) or baseline specs (retroactive documentation).

The orchestrator holds context across phases; subagents are dispatched for scoped work that benefits from context isolation.

SPECS_ROOT is resolved by the sdd router before this skill runs. Replace .specs/ with the project's actual specs root.

Writing Style

Write the derived specs in the voice of a professional technical writer. Prefer ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English: short sentences, one instruction per sentence, active voice, and one term per concept. Keep identifiers, commands, paths, and RFC 2119 keywords exact.
