- {{consumer_feedback}}: Insights from customers about the current packaging.
- {{market_trends}}: Current trends in packaging design and sustainability.
- {{production_data}}: Data on manufacturing processes and constraints.
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.

- Clearly state assumptions about production capabilities.
- Stay focused on design improvement; do not expand into broader marketing strategy.
Example
