Drafts a federally-defensible SOW or PWS the prime issues to a subcontractor / teaming partner — same FAR 37.102(d) / 37.602 / 16.601(c)(2) / 16.306(d) discipline a contracting officer applies, opposite seat. USE WHEN the user asks to \"write a SOW for our sub\", \"draft a PWS for [Partner]\", \"build the teaming-partner statement of work\", \"convert this SOO into a sub SOW\", \"we need a SOW the sub will sign\", or any variant of authoring a downstream work statement. Walks the upstream 3-phase tree (acquisition intake → 6 scope blocks → 14-section assembly), pulls scope from the active Theseus KG (requirements, deliverables, work_scope_items, performance_standards), enforces FAR 37.102(d) \"no FTEs in body\", emits a chat-only staffing handoff for the prime's cost build, writes Markdown for `renderers` → .docx. DO NOT USE FOR prime proposal prose (`proposal-generator`), reverse-engineering an RFP (`rfp-reverse-engineer`), pricing the sub (`price-to-win`), or clause audit (`compliance-auditor`).
