# FirstSpirit Templating

## Overview

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for developing templates in FirstSpirit CMS using SiteArchitect. FirstSpirit uses a unique templating system that separates content, layout, and structure across multiple stores (Template Store, Content Store, Site Store, Media Store). Template development involves creating reusable components using FirstSpirit's template syntax, input components, and configuration options.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:
- Developing FirstSpirit templates (page, section, format, link templates)
- Working with FirstSpirit template syntax and instructions
- Configuring input components and forms in SiteArchitect
- Creating dynamic forms using rules and validation
- Implementing workflows and approval processes
- Working with FirstSpirit's store architecture
- Using system objects, variables, and functions in templates
- Debugging FirstSpirit templates
