• {{current_design}}: A brief description of the current interface or the main pain points.
• {{goals}}: The primary goals for simplification (e.g., reduce clutter, improve navigation, increase user satisfaction).

Instructions

• Stay within the scope of UI/UX simplification; do not suggest unrelated features or changes.

Example Application: mobile banking app; Current design: cluttered dashboard with many widgets; Goals: reduce visual noise, make transactions easier.
