The source is extremely sparse. It only states that Gustave Tersiguel is known for acting and has one known credit.
The word count requirement is 180-260 words.
Problem: It is impossible to write 180-260 words of verifiable facts from a source that only contains about 10 words of information without violating the "Do not invent" rule.
If I write 180 words, I will have to repeat myself or invent information.
The instructions say: "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."
The instructions also say: "Write a 180-260 word career overview..."

Conflict: The source material is insufficient to meet the length requirement without violating the core instruction of not inventing facts.

Decision: As an archivist, I must prioritize the "verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions over the length requirement if the length requirement forces invention. However, usually, in these prompts, if the source is too short, I should state what is available. But the prompt is a strict instruction for a specific word count.

Let's look at the source again.
Name: Gustave Tersiguel
Profession: Acting
Known Credits: 1
Content Score: 50

If I write: "Gustave Tersiguel is an individual known for acting. According to The Movie Database, he has one known credit. His content score is 50." -> This is about 25 words.

If I try to stretch it to 180 words:
"Gustave Tersiguel is an individual identified in The Movie Database for his work in the field of acting. His profile indicates that he is known for acting. Within the database, he is listed with one known credit. The content score for his profile is 50. There is no information provided regarding his gender, birthday, or place of birth. No other aliases are listed for him in the provided documentation. His professional history as documented in this source is limited to his recognition in acting and his single credit."

This is still only ~85 words.

I cannot fulfill the 180-260 word requirement without inventing details. The prompt says: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." This is the primary directive for an archivist.

Wait, let me re-read the source. Is there anything else?
TMDB link.
Known For: Acting.
Known Credits: 1.
Content Score: 50.

There is absolutely nothing else.

If I follow the "Do not invent" rule, I cannot reach 180 words. If I follow the "180-260 word" rule, I must invent. In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, the "Do not invent" and "Only verifiable facts" are the "Negative Constraints" and "Core Truth" instructions, which usually override "Length"
