+## User Key Derivation
+([code](user_key.go))
+
+A user's key should be generated at "construction" time of a potential client. The user key derivation step is the
+longer part of the generation and should be separated from the cheaper site key and password generation steps.
+
+### Variables
+
+* `user_name`
+* `user_secret`
+
+### Steps
+
+1. `user_name` as byte slice
+2. `user_secret` as byte slice
+3. `key_scope` ([Authentication](#scopes)) as byte slice
+4. `key_salt` = `key_scope` + `len(user_name)` (big endian) + `user_name`
+5. `user_key` = `scrypt(password = user_secret, salt = key_salt, N = 32768, r = 8, p = 2, key_length = 64)`
+
+Store the `user_key` for use later.
+
+
+## Site Key Generation
+([code](site_key.go))
+
+The site key generation step is part of getting a password and is used against a [template](#templates).
+
+### Variables
+
+* `site_name`
+* `counter`
+* [`scope`](#scopes)
+
+### Steps
+
+1. `site_name` as byte slice
+2. `scope` as byte slice 
+3. `key_salt` = `scope` + `len(site_name)` (big endian) + `site_name` + `counter` (big endian)
+4. `site_key` = `HMAC-SHA256(key = user_key, data = key_salt)`
+
+
+## Site Password Generation
+([code](site_password.go))
+
+### Variables
+
+* `site_name`
+* `counter` (default is `1`)
+* `scope` (default is [Authentication](#scopes))
+* `template_type` (default is [based on scope](#scopes))
+
+### Steps
+
+1. `site_key` as byte slice
+2. `template_set` = `templates[ template_type ]` ([templates](#templates))
+3. `template` = `template_set[ site_key[0] % len(template_set) ]`
+4. for each character `b` in the template (`loop_index` starting at `0`)
+   1. `chars` = `characters[ b ]` ([characters](#characters))
+   2. `char` = `chars[ site_key[ loop_index + 1 ] % len(chars) ]`
+   3. add `char` to output string
+
+
+## Walkthrough
+
+* `user_name` = `Robert Lee Mitchell`
+* `user_secret` = `banana colored duckling`
+* `scope` = [Authentication](#scopes)
+* `counter` = `1`
+* `template` = [Long](#scopes)
+* `site_name` = `masterpasswordapp.com`

+**NOTE:** One difference in my implementations compared to the original is allowing consumers to choose
