The source is extremely sparse. It provides biographical data and a credit count, but no specific movie titles, TV show titles, roles, or specific career milestones.
The user wants a 180-260 word career overview.
Problem: There is almost no information to reach 180 words without inventing details.
Constraint Check: "You 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."
If I write only the facts provided:
"Carl-Axel Elfving was an actor born on January 12, 1920, in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. He had 67 known credits in acting. He died on January 12, 1988, at the age of 68."
This is approximately 35 words.
The prompt requires 180-260 words.
The prompt also says: "Use ONLY facts present above. Do not invent roles, dates, awards, relationships or personal details."
If I follow the word count, I must invent.
If I follow the "ONLY facts" rule, I cannot reach the word count.
In strict instruction following for an archivist persona, the "ONLY facts" and "never invent" rules are paramount. However, the word count is a specific instruction.
Wait, looking at the source again. Is there anything else? No.
Let's see if I can expand on the biographical facts without inventing.
"Carl-Axel Elfving was a male actor whose professional career included 67 known credits. He was born in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, on January 12, 1920. His life ended on January 12, 1988, at the age of 68."
This is still very short.
Self-Correction: As an AI, if the source material is insufficient to meet the length requirement without violating the "no invention" rule, I must prioritize the "no invention" rule. However, usually, in these types of prompts, there's a tension. If I provide a 30-word response to a 180-word request, I fail the length constraint. If I provide a 180-word response, I fail the "no invention" constraint.
The prompt says: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." This is a direct instruction on how to handle missing info. It overrides the word count requirement because the word count is a target, but the "omit rather than guess" is a hard constraint on the content.
Let's try to see if I can stretch the existing facts into a professional tone.
"Carl-Axel Elfving was an actor known for his work in the film and television industry. According to his professional records, he has 67 known credits to his name. He was born in Örnsköldsvik
