# Inputs expected (check output_folder or ask user if missing)

  - prd
  - gdd
  - architecture
  - ux_design
  - epics (only the specific epic needed for this tech spec)
  - prior epic tech-specs for model, style and consistency reference

# Smart input file references - handles both whole docs and sharded docs
# Priority: Whole document first, then sharded version
# Strategy: SELECTIVE LOAD - only load the specific epic needed (epic_num from context)
