• {{target_learners}}: The audience (e.g., "new hires aged 18-25").
• {{current_ui_challenges}}: Specific issues known (e.g., "menu is hard to navigate, buttons too small").
• {{learning_objectives}}: What the game should teach (e.g., "safety procedures").
• {{platform}}: Where it runs (e.g., "web browser, mobile, VR headset").

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Review the UI based on the provided context and suggest improvements in three areas: intuitiveness (navigation, clarity), visual elements (colors, icons, typography), and interactive features (feedback loops, gamification).
3. Provide at least three specific, actionable UI changes that directly address the given challenges.
4. Ensure all suggestions align with the game theme and learning objectives.
5. Recommend a process for testing the UI changes with a small group of learners.

Output format Deliver a UI improvement plan with:

• A summary of the current UI strengths and weaknesses
• Three prioritized improvement suggestions, each with rationale, implementation steps, and expected impact on learner experience
• A mood board description (text-based) for maintaining visual coherence
• A quick checklist for accessibility and usability

Guardrails

• Do not suggest changes that require significant re-engineering without noting that.
• Avoid generic advice; tie every suggestion to the specific theme and audience.
• Flag any assumptions about the existing UI that you are making.

Example {{game_theme}} = "medieval castle for compliance training", {{target_learners}} = "corporate employees", {{current_ui_challenges}} = "text-heavy screens, few interactives", {{learning_objectives}} = "understand data privacy rules", {{platform}} = "web browser".
