### Template Categories

#### 1. Output Styles (AI Personalities)

- **engineer-professional** - Professional engineering style
- **nekomata-engineer** - Nekomata engineer personality
- **laowang-engineer** - Laowang engineer personality
- **ojousama-engineer** - Ojou-sama engineer personality
- **rem-engineer** - Rem maid engineer personality
- **default** - Default output style
- **explanatory** - Explanatory style
- **learning** - Learning-focused style

#### 2. Workflow Templates

##### Common Tools Workflow
- **Commands**: `init-project`
- **Agents**: `init-architect`, `get-current-datetime`
- **Purpose**: Essential development tools and project initialization

##### Planning Workflow (Plan)
- **Commands**: `feat`, `workflow`
- **Agents**: `planner`, `ui-ux-designer`
- **Purpose**: Feature planning and UX design

##### Six-Step Workflow
- **Commands**: `zcf-update-docs`, `zcf-pr`, `zcf-release`
- **Purpose**: Structured development process

##### BMAD Workflow
- **Commands**: Enterprise-level workflow commands
- **Purpose**: Business model and architecture design

##### Git Workflow
- **Commands**: `git-commit`, `git-worktree`, `git-cleanBranches`, `git-rollback`
- **Purpose**: Version control management with conventional commits, worktree management, branch cleanup, and rollback operations

## Key Dependencies and Configuration

### Template Processing

- **Language Support**: zh-CN and en locales
- **Code Tool Support**: Claude Code and Codex
- **Template Format**: Markdown-based configuration files
- **Variable Substitution**: Dynamic content replacement

### Configuration Integration

- **Workflow Installer**: Integration with `src/utils/workflow-installer.ts`
- **Language Detection**: Integration with `src/i18n/` system
- **Platform Support**: Cross-platform path handling

## Data Models

### Template Organization

```typescript
interface TemplateStructure {
  codeTool: 'claude-code' | 'codex'
  locale: 'zh-CN' | 'en'
  category: 'common' | 'output-styles' | 'workflow'
  workflow?: {
    type: 'common' | 'plan' | 'sixStep' | 'bmad' | 'git'
    commands: string[]
    agents: string[]
  }
}
```

### Output Style Configuration

```typescript
interface OutputStyle {
  id: string
  name: { 'zh-CN': string, 'en': string }
  description: { 'zh-CN': string, 'en': string }
  template: string
  personality: string
}
```

## Testing and Quality

### Template Validation

- **File**: `tests/templates/chinese-templates.test.ts`
- **Coverage**: Template completeness and format validation
- **Validation**: Markdown syntax and variable substitution

### Quality Metrics

- **Template Coverage**: 100% for both locales
- **Code Tool Support**: Claude Code and Codex fully supported
- **Workflow Coverage**: 5 major workflow categories
- **Output Styles**: 7 AI personality styles

## Common Issues

- **Path Handling**: Cross-platform path compatibility
- **Encoding**: UTF-8 encoding for multilingual content
- **Template Variables**: Proper variable substitution
- **File Permissions**: Executable permissions for command files
