María de la Riva

Career overview

Subject: María de la Riva (Acting).
Goal: Write a 180-260 word career overview.
Constraints:
Use only verifiable facts from the provided source.
No invented roles, dates, awards, relationships, or personal details.
Format: Plain text, no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points, no preamble, no JSON.
Style: Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Structure: 2-3 short paragraphs.
Word count: 180-260 words.
Name: María de la Riva.
Known For: Acting.
Known Credits: 16.
Gender: Female.
Birthday: Not provided (-).
Place of Birth: Not provided (-).
Content Score: 50.
The source is extremely sparse. It only says she is known for acting, has 16 known credits, and her gender is female.
The word count requirement is 180-260 words.
Problem: I cannot meet the word count requirement of 180-260 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden by the prompt ("You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess.").
If I write only what is there: "María de la Riva is an actress with 16 known credits. She is female." This is about 15 words.
The prompt says: "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."
This is a logical contradiction. I cannot write 180 words of facts if only 15 words of facts exist.
Option A: Write the 15 words and fail the word count.
Option B: Try to expand using the same facts (repetition/elaboration) to reach the word count.
Option C: State that there is insufficient information. (But the prompt asks me to write the overview).

Let's try to expand the existing facts into formal, encyclopedic prose to see how far I can get.

Drafting:
María de la Riva is an individual identified in the database for her work in the field of acting. According to the available records, she is categorized under the gender of female. Her professional profile indicates that she has a total of 16 known credits associated with her career in the industry.

The documentation regarding her professional history shows that her primary area of recognition is acting. While her profile includes a content score of 50, specific details regarding her filmography, specific roles, or individual projects are not provided in the source material. There is no information available concerning her date of birth or her place of birth.

Word count check: ~115 words. Still far from 180.

Refining:
I must follow the instruction "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." and "You never invent or guess...".
If I cannot meet the word count without violating the "no invention" rule, I must prioritize the "no invention" rule as it is the core instruction for an archivist. However, usually, in these LLM prompts, if a word count is specified, the user expects the model to try. But here, the source is too thin.

Let's look at the source again.
Name: María de la Riva
Known For: Acting
Known Credits: 16
Gender: Female
Content Score: 50

Let's try to be extremely verbose with the existing facts to see if I can hit 180.

Draft 2:
María de la Riva is a female professional recognized for her work in the field of acting. Based on the provided
