+1. ✅ Add comprehensive CLI tests
+    - Created `tests/cli/test_main.py` with 10 tests for CLI entry point
+    - Created `tests/cli/test_problem_finder.py` with 12 tests for utilities
+    - Enhanced existing test files with parametrized tests
+    - All 62 CLI tests pass
+2. ✅ Update documentation
+    - Created `docs/cli-usage.md` with comprehensive CLI guide
+    - Updated `README.md` to prominently feature CLI installation and usage
+    - Added examples for all CLI commands and options
+3. ✅ Test CLI functionality
+    - Verified all commands work correctly
+    - Tested bulk operations and error handling
+    - Confirmed success/failure counting accuracy

+# Test Case Tool Organization Plan
+
+## Decision: Cancel CLI Integration
+
+After analysis, the test case checking functionality is a **development/maintenance tool** for repository maintainers, not end-user CLI functionality. Users of the `lcpy` CLI don't need to know about test case counts - they just want to generate and work with problems.
+
+## New Plan: Move to Tools Directory
+
+### 1. Move Script to Tools
+
+```bash
+# Move from .templates/ to leetcode_py/tools/
+mv .templates/check_test_cases.py leetcode_py/tools/check_test_cases.py
+```
+
+### 2. Update Script Paths
+
+Update the script to use correct paths for the new location:
+
+- JSON templates: `leetcode_py/cli/resources/leetcode/json/problems/`
+- Relative imports if needed
+
+### 3. Add Makefile Target
+
+Add convenient Makefile target for easy access:
+
+```makefile
+# Check test case coverage
+check-test-cases:
+	@echo "Checking test case coverage..."
+	poetry run python leetcode_py/tools/check_test_cases.py --threshold=$(or $(THRESHOLD),10) --max=$(or $(MAX),10)
+```
+
+## Benefits of This Approach
+
+- **Clear separation**: Development tools in `tools/`, user CLI in `cli/`
+- **Easy access**: `make check-test-coverage` is simple and memorable
+- **No CLI bloat**: Keeps `lcpy` focused on user needs
+- **Maintainer friendly**: Still easy for repository maintainers to use
+- **Consistent location**: Follows existing pattern with other tools in `leetcode_py/tools/`
+
+## Usage After Migration
+
+```bash
+# Quick check for problems needing more test cases
+make check-test-cases
+
+# Check all problems (not just first 10)
+make check-test-cases MAX=999
+
+# Custom threshold and max
+make check-test-cases THRESHOLD=12 MAX=5
+
+# Direct usage (if needed)
+poetry run python leetcode_py/tools/check_test_cases.py --threshold=12 --max=5
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Move file**: `mv .templates/check_test_cases.py leetcode_py/tools/check_test_cases.py`
+2. **Update paths**: Fix JSON template paths in the script
+3. **Add Makefile target**: Add `check-test-cases` with THRESHOLD and MAX args
+4. **Update documentation**: Update `.amazonq/rules/test-case-enhancement.md` to use new Makefile targets
+5. **Test**: Verify the tool works from new location
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ Script moved to `leetcode_py/tools/check_test_cases.py`
+- ✅ Script works with correct JSON template paths
+- ✅ `make check-test-cases` command works with args
+- ✅ Documentation updated to reference new commands
+- ✅ Tool remains fully functional for development use
+
+This organization maintains clear separation between user-facing CLI tools and development/maintenance utilities.
