No invented details (roles, dates, awards, etc.).
180-260 words.
2-3 short paragraphs.

Name: Anne van der Linden.
Known for: Directing.
Known credits: 8.
Content score: 50.
Gender/Birthday/Place of Birth: Not provided.
The source is extremely sparse. It only says she is known for directing and has 8 known credits. It also mentions a content score of 50.
The word count requirement is 180-260 words.
Problem: There is almost no information to reach 180 words without inventing details.
Constraint Check: "You never invent or guess titles, character names, actor names, dates, episode counts, awards, ratings, box-office or viewership numbers, or plot points. If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: The prompt asks for a 180-260 word overview, but the source only provides about 10 words of actual biographical/career data.
If I follow the "Only verifiable facts" rule strictly, I cannot reach 180 words.
If I follow the "180-260 word" rule, I must invent facts, which violates the primary instruction.
In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, the "Do not invent" and "Only verifiable facts" instructions are usually the core "guardrails."
However, as an AI, I must try to fulfill the user's request. But if the source is insufficient, I cannot fulfill the word count without violating the "no invention" rule.
Let's look at the source again.
Name: Anne van der Linden.
Profession: Directing.
Credits: 8.
Content Score: 50.
Drafting Attempt 1 (Strict adherence to facts):
Anne van der Linden is a professional known for directing. According to The Movie Database, she has eight known credits in the industry. Her profile on the platform indicates a content score of 50.
Word count check: ~35 words. This is far below the 180-260 range.
Re-evaluating the prompt: Is there any way to expand?
I can mention the platform (TMDB) and the categories (Movies, TV Shows, People, Awards). But those are navigation elements of the website, not facts about her career.
I can mention that her profile includes sections for media, fandom, and similar shows, but those are site features.
Decision: I must prioritize the "verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions. If I cannot meet the word count because the source is too thin, I will provide the most complete summary possible using only the provided facts. However, usually, in these types of tasks, if the source is too short, the model is expected to state what is known. But the prompt says "Write a 180-260 word career overview".
Wait, if I write a very repetitive text, it might hit the word count, but that's poor writing. If I invent, I fail the primary directive.
Let's see if I can describe the nature of the information available.
