### Design Patterns
- **Follows existing patterns** - StyleGuideLibrary mirrors PromptLibrary
- **Modular architecture** - Separate concerns, easy to test
- **Consistent UI patterns** - Will match existing tabs
- **Extensible design** - Easy to add features later

---

## 🚀 What's Working Now

### Backend Operations
```python
# Load all guides
guides = self.style_guide_library
guides.load_all_guides()

# Access a guide
dutch = guides.get_guide('Dutch')
print(dutch['content'])

# Update a guide
guides.update_guide('Dutch', new_content)

# Add to all languages at once
guides.append_to_all_guides("Company standards...")

# Export/Import
guides.export_guide('English', 'export/english_guide.md')
guides.import_guide('German', 'import/german_rules.txt')
```

### Programmatic Access
```python
# Get all available languages
languages = self.style_guide_library.get_all_languages()
# Returns: ['Dutch', 'English', 'Spanish', 'German', 'French']

# Get content
content = self.style_guide_library.get_guide_content('Dutch')
# Returns: Full guide text

# Create new guide
self.style_guide_library.create_guide('Italian', 'Initial content')
```

## 🎓 How to Use This for Implementation

### Quick Start for UI Development

1. **Open template:**
   ```
   docs/STYLE_GUIDES_UI_TEMPLATE.py
   ```

2. **Create method in main app:**
   ```python
   def create_style_guides_tab(self, parent):
       # Copy template code here
       # Replace placeholder for AI integration
   ```

3. **Add to notebook (find this line: ~15290):**
   ```python
   notebook.add(style_guides_tab, text='📖 Style', sticky='nsew')
   self.create_style_guides_tab(style_guides_tab)
   ```

4. **Test:**
   - List loads correctly
   - Selection works
   - Content displays
   - Editing saves

### For AI Integration

1. **Reference existing code:**
   ```python
   # See prompt_assistant.py for AI handling pattern
   # Use self.prompt_assistant.suggest_modification()
   ```

2. **Implement handlers for:**
   - "Add this to Dutch guide"
   - "Add this to all guides"
   - "Suggest improvements"
