Wait, the source is very sparse.

Subject: Bob K. Cummings (Crew).
Source: Provided TMDB snippet.
Constraints:
Write ONLY verifiable facts from the source.
No invented titles, names, dates, awards, etc.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 180-260 words.
Structure: 2-3 short paragraphs.
No preamble, no JSON.
Name: Bob K. Cummings.
Role: Crew.
Known Credits: 22.
Gender: Male.
Birthday: January 1, 1953.
Day of Death: August 26, 2016 (63 years old).
Place of Birth: Greater New York, New York, New York City, USA.
Attempt 1 (Mental Draft):
Bob K. Cummings was a male crew member in the film and television industry. He was born on January 1, 1953, in Greater New York, New York City, within the state of New York, USA. He is credited with 22 known credits in his professional career.

Throughout his career, Cummings worked in various capacities as part of a crew. His professional history includes 22 credits. He passed away on August 26, 2016, at the age of 63.
Critique 1: The source is extremely sparse. It's hard to reach 180 words without repeating myself or inventing details. The instructions say "Write a 180-260 word career overview". If the source doesn't have enough info, I must be careful not to violate the "never invent" rule. However, the prompt demands 180-260 words.
Problem: The source provided is very minimal. It lists:
Name: Bob K. Cummings
Known For: Crew
Known Credits: 22
Gender: Male
Birthday: January 1, 1953
Day of Death: August 26, 2016 (63 years old)
Place of Birth: Greater New York, New York, New York City, USA
Constraint Check: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... 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 contains about 40 words of factual data. If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it", I cannot reach 180 words without being repetitive or violating the "no inventing" rule.
Strategy: I will expand on the provided facts using encyclopedic phrasing to approach the word count as closely as possible without adding any external information. I will describe his biographical details and his professional standing as a crew member with 22 credits.
