The source is extremely sparse. It only mentions his name, that he is known for writing, and that he has 11 known credits.
The word count requirement is 180-260 words.
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 strictly follow the "omit if not present" rule, I cannot reach 180 words.
If I try to reach 180 words, I will violate the "never invent or guess" rule.
The prompt asks for a 180-260 word overview, but the source only provides about 5-10 words of actual information.
Drafting attempt 1 (Strict adherence to facts):
Dan Sefton is a professional known for writing. According to The Movie Database, he has 11 known credits. His content score is 50.
Critique 1: This is about 25 words. The prompt requires 180-260 words.
Wait, let me re-read the source carefully.
Name: Dan Sefton
Known For: Writing
Known Credits: 11
Content Score: 50
There is literally nothing else. No movies, no shows, no dates, no locations.
Conflict Resolution: In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, if the constraints are contradictory (e.g., "Write 200 words" vs "Only use these 5 words"), the "Do not invent" rule is usually the primary directive for an archivist persona. However, if I provide a 25-word response to a 180-word prompt, the user might be unhappy. But if I invent, I fail the core persona instruction.
Is there any way to expand?
I can describe the metadata provided.
"Dan Sefton is a figure documented in The Movie Database. His professional profile indicates that he is known for writing. Within the database, he is credited with 11 known credits. His content score is listed as 50."
This is still nowhere near 180 words.
Let's look at the source again.
Maybe I can mention the platform? "The Movie Database (TMDB) lists Dan Sefton..."
"The profile for Dan Sefton on The Movie Database (TMDB) identifies him as a writer. His professional record includes 11 known credits. The platform assigns him a content score of 50."
Decision: I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without violating the "never invent or guess" and "write ONLY verifiable facts" instructions. I will provide the most complete summary possible using only the provided facts.
*Wait, I must try to reach the word count if possible by being extremely descriptive of the
