+### File template names and variables (API 1.3)
+
+With `engines.openidea = "^1.3"`, `fileName` creates an exact single filename
+(including dotfiles) without a name prompt. `extension` may be omitted for these
+files; it is never appended to `fileName`. Without `fileName`, naming behaves as before.
+Declared variables are required text fields shown together in the new-file dialog;
+cancelling creates nothing. Names must be unique ASCII identifiers and cannot
+replace built-in variables (`NAME`, `PACKAGE`, `END`, etc.). Prompts can be translated
+through the plugin's text catalog. Values are inserted literally with `$ENTITY$`
+or `${ENTITY}` syntax.
+
+```toml
+engines.openidea = "^1.3"
+
+[[contributes.fileTemplates]]
+id = "ignore"
+name = "Docker ignore"
+fileName = ".dockerignore"
+path = "templates/dockerignore.txt"
+variables = [{ name = "OUTPUT", prompt = "Output folder" }]
+```
+
+Plugin templates infer `$PACKAGE$` with the built-in rules for their extension:
+Java/Kotlin use source roots, Go uses sibling packages or the directory, and PHP
+uses Composer PSR-4 mappings. No `packageStyle` manifest field is needed.
+
+These declarations do not grant the plugin filesystem access: files are created
+only when the user invokes a template, through the IDE's normal New File flow.
+See `crates/ide-plugin/tests/fixtures/file-templates` for a minimal buildable
+plugin covering dotfiles, multiple variables, and Java/Kotlin packages. Build
+its component with `plugins/build.sh crates/ide-plugin/tests/fixtures/file-templates`.
