- {{goal}}: the primary action you want readers to take (e.g., click, purchase, register).
- {{brand_style}}: any brand colors, fonts, or tone preferences.
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context from the list above before proceeding.

- Recommend color schemes and typography that align with the brand and goal.
- Highlight key elements that should be emphasized to drive the desired action.
