# ADPA Interactive CLI Menu Design

## Overview

This document defines the comprehensive menu structure for the ADPA (Automated Document Processing Assistant) interactive CLI. The design follows Yeoman-style best practices to provide an intuitive, hierarchical navigation system that supports both beginner and advanced users.

## Design Principles

### 1. User-Centric Design
- **Progressive Disclosure**: Show only relevant options at each level
- **Context Awareness**: Enable/disable options based on system state
- **Clear Visual Hierarchy**: Use icons, badges, and descriptions consistently
- **Intuitive Navigation**: Numbered options with logical grouping

### 2. Yeoman-Style Best Practices
- **Consistent Interaction Patterns**: Number-based selection with descriptive labels
- **Breadcrumb Navigation**: Clear path indication for deep menu structures
- **Status Indicators**: Real-time system status and configuration state
- **Help Integration**: Built-in help and documentation access

### 3. Extensibility
- **Modular Menu Structure**: Easy addition of new menu sections
- **Plugin Architecture**: Support for dynamic menu items
- **Configuration-Driven**: Menu items can be enabled/disabled via configuration
- **Future-Proof Design**: Structure supports additional features and integrations
