+
+==Abstract==
+
+This document specifies <tt>combo()</tt> output script descriptors.
+These take a key and produce P2PK, P2PKH, P2WPKH, and P2SH-P2WPKH output scripts if applicable to the key.
+
+==Copyright==
+
+This BIP is licensed under the BSD 2-clause license.
+
+==Motivation==
+
+In order to make the transition from traditional key based wallets to descriptor based wallets easier, it is useful to be able to take a key and produce the scripts which have traditionally been produced by wallet software.
+
+==Specification==
+
+A new top level script expression is defined: <tt>combo(KEY)</tt>.
+This expression can only be used as a top level expression.
+It takes a single key expression as an argument and produces either 2 or 4 output scripts, depending on the key.
+A <tt>combo()</tt> expression always produces a P2PK and P2PKH script, the same as putting the key in both a <tt>pk()</tt> and a <tt>pkh()</tt> expression.
+If the key is/has a compressed public key, then P2WPKH and P2SH-P2WPKH scripts are also produced, the same as putting the key in both a <tt>wpkh()</tt> and <tt>sh(wpkh())</tt> expression.
+
+==Test Vectors==
+
+TBD
+
+==Backwards Compatibility==
+
+<tt>combo()</tt> descriptors use the format and general operation specified in [[bip-0380.mediawiki|380]].
+As this is a wholly new descriptor, it is not compatible with any implementation.
+However the scripts produced are standard scripts so existing software are likely to be familiar with them.
+
+==Reference Implemntation==
+
+<tt>combo</tt> descriptors have been implemented in Bitcoin Core since version 0.17.
