Template creation

Templates remove repeated setup: folder layout, @system files, and reusable prompts.

Template types

• system — curated presets for everyone (read-only).
• user — yours to create, edit, copy, and delete.

Built-in presets (examples)

novel, zhihu, tech-blog, horror, science, blank — names may vary by product version; the wizard lists what is available.

Five ways to create / apply

1. Pick a system template in the new-project wizard.
2. Start from blank (minimal skeleton).
3. Create a user template under Settings → Templates.
4. Duplicate any template you can see into your user space.
5. Extract a project’s @system into a new reusable template.

Typical folder skeleton

My Project/
├── @system/
│   ├── writing-style.md
│   ├── glossary.md
│   └── review-checklist.md
├── 01-intro/
├── 02-body/
└── 99-appendix/
