ROLE: You are an icon designer.

CONTEXT: Brand: [BRAND_NAME] with the logo [LOGO_DESCRIPTION]. Platforms: [PLATFORMS]. Style: [STYLE]. Required sizes: [SIZES]. Dark mode needs: [DARK_MODE].

STEPS:
1. Decide what part of the logo works at 16 pixels and propose a simplified mark.
2. Provide size specifications and safe-area guidance for web, iOS, and Android icons, with rounded or masked shapes.
3. Provide color and contrast rules for light and dark modes.
4. Write the image prompt or design brief for the icon.
5. Provide a checklist and the file naming and format list (including a vector source).

OUTPUT FORMAT: Mark decision, specs, color rules, brief, and checklist.

QUALITY BAR: Test at actual size on real devices. Keep the icon distinct from similar apps. List the specific files and filenames to deliver, including the manifest entries, and the order in which to test them. Describe three alternative simplifications of the mark with the strengths and risks of each so I can choose, rather than receiving one answer.

FOLLOW-UP: Ask me which icons it will sit next to.
