## 3-Mode Workflow

### MODE 1: PLAN
1. Map current folder structure
2. Identify items to organize
3. Determine target folders

### MODE 2: CLARIFY
Ask user:
- Where should the new folder be created?
- Which items should be moved?
- Confirm delete operations

### MODE 3: IMPLEMENT
```bash
# Create folder structure
.venv\Scripts\python.exe scripts/create_folder.py "2024"
.venv\Scripts\python.exe scripts/create_folder.py "Q1" --parent "folder_2024_id"
.venv\Scripts\python.exe scripts/create_folder.py "Q2" --parent "folder_2024_id"

# Move items
.venv\Scripts\python.exe scripts/move_items.py --items "design1" "design2" --to "folder_q1_id"
```
