The user wants a 180-260 word career overview.
Problem: The provided source material is extremely limited. It only mentions he was an actor, had 36 known credits, and provides his vital statistics. It does not list any movie titles, TV shows, awards, or specific roles.
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."
Challenge: Writing 180-260 words using only these few facts without repeating myself or inventing details is nearly impossible while maintaining "encyclopedic prose."
Drafting attempt 1 (Mental):
Germano Pinho da Cruz Filho, known as Germano Filho, was a Brazilian actor. He was born on April 22, 1930, in Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. He passed away on April 26, 1995, in Rio de Janeiro at the age of 65.
His professional work is categorized under acting. According to The Movie Database, he has 36 known credits.
Word count check: This is about 60 words. I need 180-260.
Wait, if I cannot invent anything, and the source is only ~50 words of actual information, how can I reach 180 words?
If I strictly follow "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES," and the source is tiny, I cannot reach the word count without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Re-evaluating the source:
Name: Germano Pinho da Cruz Filho
Birth: April 22, 1930, Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Death: April 26, 1995, Rio de Janeiro (65 years old)
Profession: Actor
