🔄 Two Template Systems - Same Goal, Different Layers

Yes! You're Right - They're Conceptually Similar

Both are about structured patterns that reduce repetitive work and ensure consistent output. But they operate at different layers:

Konui Kontask Templates

Purpose: Render rich UI cards from structured data

image_selectionGrid of clickable images with selection
text_approvalText block for review (plain/markdown/html)
comparisonSide-by-side comparison of items
url_verificationURL with preview iframe
action_confirmWarning dialog with confirmation checkbox
multi_choiceRadio/checkbox list of options
code_reviewSyntax-highlighted code with diff support
data_tableSortable data table
markdownRendered markdown content
file_treeInteractive file tree with git status
customRaw HTML (what we use most often)

gvShell Prompt Templates

Purpose: Pre-written AI prompts with variable substitution

coding"You are an expert {{language}} developer..."
review"Review for bugs, security, performance..."
debug"Help me debug this issue..."
explain"Explain this code step-by-step..."
refactor"Refactor without changing behavior..."
test"Write comprehensive tests for..."

The Key Difference

KONUI TEMPLATES (Output Layer)
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Claude generates structured data:                │
│  { template: "image_selection",                  │
│    data: { images: [...] } }                    │
│                    ↓                              │
│  Template renderer → Rich HTML UI card           │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

GVSHELL TEMPLATES (Input Layer)
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  User types:                                      │
│  /template use review                          │
│                    ↓                              │
│  Template expands → Full prompt sent to Claude   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

How They Work Together in greatVibe

# 1. User applies a prompt template in gvShell:
gvshell> /template use review file=router.ts

# 2. Template expands to full prompt:
"Review this Go code for bugs, security, performance...
 Format as Critical/Warning/Suggestion..."

# 3. Claude processes and creates kontask:
konui_create_task({ template: "code_review", data: {...} })

# 4. Konui renders using its template system:
→ Beautiful syntax-highlighted code review card

💡 Summary

gvShell templates = How you ask Claude (input prompts)
Konui templates = How Claude answers you (output rendering)

They're two sides of the same coin - both reduce repetition and ensure consistency, just at different points in the workflow.
