```python
guides.load_all_guides()
assert len(guides.get_all_languages()) == 5
```

### Test 2: Get Content
```python
dutch = guides.get_guide('Dutch')
assert dutch['language'] == 'Dutch'
assert len(dutch['content']) > 0
```

### Test 3: Update Guide
```python
old_content = guides.get_guide_content('Dutch')
new_content = old_content + "\n## New Section"
guides.update_guide('Dutch', new_content)
assert guides.get_guide_content('Dutch') == new_content
```

### Test 4: Batch Update
```python
success, failed = guides.append_to_all_guides("Test content")
assert success == 5 and failed == 0
```

## 🔗 Integration Points

### In Main App
```python
# Import (line 202)
from modules.style_guide_manager import StyleGuideLibrary

# Initialize (lines 812-816)
style_guides_dir = get_user_data_path("Style_Guides")
self.style_guide_library = StyleGuideLibrary(
    style_guides_dir=style_guides_dir,
    log_callback=self.log
)
```

### In UI
```python
# Access guides from UI
languages = self.style_guide_library.get_all_languages()
content = self.style_guide_library.get_guide_content(selected_lang)
```

### With Prompt Assistant (Future)
```python
# Use existing AI integration pattern
result = self.prompt_assistant.suggest_modification(
    current_guide_content,
    user_request,
    api_key,
    llm_provider,
    llm_model
)
```
