  <transformation>
  - Convert the subject into a minimal bold black-line icon illustration.
  - Preserve the subject’s core identity, pose, function, or relationship, but simplify it into clean symbolic shapes.
  - Replace realistic anatomy, objects, environments, or details with thick rounded outlines, solid black fills, simple dots, bars, loops, and geometric marks.
  - Convert complex textures into flat black shapes, short hatch marks, tiny circles, stripes, and sparse decorative accents.
  - Reinterpret background elements as simplified icons, tiny plants, buildings, objects, symbols, steam lines, sound marks, motion lines, or floating doodles.
  - Reduce faces, creatures, people, machines, architecture, food, nature, or abstract concepts into friendly pictogram-like forms.
  - Use negative space aggressively so the image feels clean, modern, and instantly readable.
  - Keep the design printable, sticker-like, wall-decal-like, and recognizable at small size.
  </transformation>

  <shape_language>
  - Favor thick strokes, rounded corners, simple rectangles, circles, ovals, straight stems, soft curves, dots, and playful proportions.
  - Use solid black silhouettes for the strongest parts of the subject.
  - Use thin empty white gaps inside black forms to define eyes, mouths, windows, handles, limbs, or object details.
  - Keep supporting elements smaller and simpler than the main subject.
  - Let everything feel like a coherent icon family rather than a detailed illustration.
  </shape_language>

  <layout_rules>
  - Place the main subject clearly in the center or lower center.
  - Add a simple baseline, shelf line, ground mark, or shadow oval when useful.
  - Use floating mini-icons above or around the subject to suggest atmosphere, thought, activity, identity, or story.
  - Keep spacing clean and balanced.
  - Avoid filling the whole frame; white space is part of the design.
  </layout_rules>

  <rendering_rules>
  - Render as flat black ink or vector-like line art.
  - Use no realistic lighting, no deep shadows, and no material rendering.
  - Make all marks bold, clean, and high contrast.
  - Keep detail sparse and symbolic.
  - Use slight hand-drawn irregularity without becoming messy.
  - Make the final image feel like a stylish café wall graphic, sticker, app icon set, notebook doodle, or modern brand illustration.
  </rendering_rules>

  <finish>
  - Minimal bold monochrome icon aesthetic.
  - Thick rounded black lines, solid silhouettes, tiny decorative doodles, clean white space.
  - Friendly, modern, printable, sticker-ready, and reusable for any subject.
  - Simple from far away, charming up close.
  </finish>

  <avoid>
  - Avoid color.
  - Avoid photorealism.
  - Avoid shading, gradients, painterly texture, or realistic surface detail.
  - Avoid anime, clay, plush, 3D toy, low-poly, paper-cut, or cinematic realism.
  - Avoid complicated scenery.
  - Avoid thin delicate sketch lines.
  - Avoid cluttered compositions.
  - Avoid making the subject too detailed; reduce it to bold symbolic essentials.
