The CSL web page says:
,-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| While CSL styles only define complete citations, e.g. “(Doe, 2002)”, the

`-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, your implementation seems to be ahead in this respect.
I'd expect the author would want to have a list of templates for each
author-date CSL style, one for parenthetical citations, one for text
citations, another for genitive citations, etc. It might even be nice
down the road to have a place where these could be stored and shared.
All the best,
Tom
