[UDS] Derive BDD scenarios, TDD skeletons, integration and E2E tests, and ATDD tables from an approved specification. Use when: a spec has been approved and needs test artifacts, generating tagged test skeletons from acceptance criteria, producing contract stubs from a spec. Not for: recovering a spec from existing code — use /reverse; writing or reviewing the spec itself — use /sdd. Keywords: forward derivation, spec to test, BDD scenario, TDD skeleton, ATDD table, 正向推演, 規格衍生, 測試生成.

[UDS] Derive BDD scenarios, TDD skeletons, integration and E2E tests, and ATDD tables from an approved specification.
Use when: a spec has been approved and needs test artifacts, generating tagged test skeletons from acceptance criteria, producing contract stubs from a spec.
Not for: recovering a spec from existing code — use /reverse; writing or reviewing the spec itself — use /sdd.

status: stable
# 2026-08-18: `disable-model-invocation: true` removed, and a status recorded.
#
# The flag was applied by d415937e alongside the description rewrite and, like
# the two lifted on 2026-08-17, followed no stateable rule. These eight were
# left alone that day for a reason that was correct at the time: the rule
# settled on was "a reference is model-invocable", and none of them carried a
# `status` at all, so lifting them would have replaced one unruled state with
# one unruled action.
#
# Measured 2026-08-18, which is what closed it: all eight carry a full
# `Use when:` trigger and a `Not for:` exclusion, all eight describe an action
# rather than reference material, and all eight already have a slash command —
# which is exactly the shape of `code-review-assistant`, whose paired `/code-review`
# was ruled not to justify the flag. `journey-test-assistant` is the standing
# precedent: same "Generate X" shape, `status: stable`, never disabled.
#
# `stable` rather than a new value: `skills/` uses reference, stable and
# experimental, and inventing a fourth would be the same unruled-action mistake
# in different clothing.
#
# The cost of being wrong is asymmetric and observable in only one direction.
# Over-triggering shows up and is undone by deleting a line; a skill that is
# structurally unable to fire produces no signal at all. (XSPEC-378 R5)

# Forward Derivation | 正向推演
Generate derived artifacts (BDD scenarios, TDD skeletons, ATDD tables) from approved SDD specifications.
從已批准的 SDD 規格生成衍生工件(BDD 場景、TDD 骨架、ATDD 表格)。
## Subcommands | 子命令
| Subcommand | Description | Output |
|------------|-------------|--------|
| `all` | Full derivation pipeline (BDD + TDD + IT + E2E + ATDD + Contracts) | `.feature` + `.test.*` + `.it.test.*` + `.e2e.test.*` + `.md` + `.json` |
| `bdd` | Generate BDD scenarios only | `.feature` |
| `tdd` | Generate TDD skeletons only | `.test.*` |
| `it` | Generate Integration test skeletons | `.it.test.*` |
| `e2e` | Generate E2E test skeletons | `.e2e.test.*` |
| `atdd` | Generate ATDD test tables | `.md` (Markdown tables) |
## Workflow | 工作流程
1. **Read Spec** - Analyze the input `SPEC-XXX.md` file | 分析規格檔案
2. **Extract AC** - Parse all Acceptance Criteria | 解析所有驗收條件
3. **Generate Artifacts** - Create BDD/TDD/ATDD outputs | 產生衍生工件
4. **Verify** - Ensure 1:1 mapping between AC and generated items | 驗證一對一對應
## Anti-Hallucination Rules | 防幻覺規則
| Rule | Description | 說明 |
|------|-------------|------|
| **1:1 Mapping** | Every AC has exactly one test/scenario | 每個 AC 對應一個測試 |
| **Traceability** | All artifacts reference Spec ID and AC ID | 所有工件引用規格與 AC 編號 |
| **No Invention** | Do not add scenarios not in the spec | 不新增規格外的場景 |
## Generated Artifact Tags | 產生工件標籤
| Tag | Meaning | 含義 |
|-----|---------|------|
| `[Source]` | Direct content from spec | 直接來自規格 |
| `[Derived]` | Transformed from source | 從來源轉換 |
| `[Generated]` | AI-generated structure | AI 產生的結構 |
| `[TODO]` | Requires human implementation | 需人工實作 |
## Usage | 使用方式
```
/derive all specs/SPEC-001.md - Full derivation pipeline | 完整推演管線
/derive bdd specs/SPEC-001.md - Derive BDD scenarios only | 僅推演 BDD 場景
/derive tdd specs/SPEC-001.md - Derive TDD skeletons only | 僅推演 TDD 骨架
/derive it specs/SPEC-001.md - Derive Integration test skeletons | 推演整合測試骨架
/derive e2e specs/SPEC-001.md - Derive E2E test skeletons | 推演 E2E 測試骨架
/derive atdd specs/SPEC-001.md - Derive ATDD tables | 推演 ATDD 表格
```
## Next Steps Guidance | 下一步引導
After `/derive` completes, the AI assistant should suggest:
> **測試工件已產生。建議下一步 / Test artifacts generated. Suggested next steps:**
> - 執行 `/tdd` 開始紅綠重構循環 ⭐ **Recommended / 推薦** — Start Red-Green-Refactor cycle
> - 執行 `/bdd` 細化 Gherkin 場景 — Refine Gherkin scenarios
> - 檢查產生的 `[TODO]` 標記並補齊實作 — Review `[TODO]` markers and fill in implementations
