+### Templates
+
+When creating a project, you can choose from the following templates provided by `create-rslib`:
+
+| Template     | Description                                        |
+| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| node-dual-js | Node.js dual ESM/CJS package                       |
+| node-dual-ts | Node.js dual ESM/CJS package written in TypeScript |
+| node-esm-js  | Node.js pure ESM package                           |
+| node-esm-ts  | Node.js pure ESM package written in TypeScript     |
+
 ### Optional Tools
 
 `create-rslib` can help you set up some commonly used tools, including [Biome](https://github.com/biomejs/biome), [ESLint](https://github.com/eslint/eslint), and [prettier](https://github.com/prettier/prettier). You can use the arrow keys and the space bar to make your selections. If you don't need these tools, you can simply press Enter to skip.
