Career overview
Subject: Nancy Yee (Acting).
Task: Write a 180-260 word career overview.
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided source.
Constraint 2: No invented details (roles, dates, awards, etc.).
Constraint 3: Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Constraint 4: Neutral, encyclopedic prose.

Name: Nancy Yee.
Known For: Acting.

The source is extremely sparse. It contains biographical data and a count of credits, but no specific movie titles, no specific TV show titles, no specific roles, no specific dates of work, no awards, and no specific industry details beyond "Acting".
Challenge: Writing 180-260 words using only these few facts without being repetitive or inventing information is extremely difficult.
Drafting Attempt 1 (Mental Outline):
Nancy Yee was an actress born in Guangzhou, China. She was born on November 18, 1933. She is known for her work in acting. She has 11 known credits. She passed away on September 24, 2016, at the age of 82.
Critique 1: This is only about 40 words. The prompt requires 180-260 words.
Problem: If I strictly follow "Use ONLY facts present above" and "Do not invent," I cannot reach the word count requirement because the source material is insufficient to sustain a 180-word essay without repetition or invention.
Re-evaluating the Source:
Name: Nancy Yee
Gender: Female
Birthday: November 18, 1933
Death: September 24, 2016 (82 years old)
Birthplace: Guangzhou, China
Known For: Acting
Known Credits: 11
Strategy to reach word count without violating constraints:
I must describe the facts provided in a very formal, encyclopedic manner. However, even with extreme verbosity, I cannot reach 180 words without repeating the same few facts.
Wait, let me check if I missed anything.
TMDB link (not a fact to include, just a source).
"Known For: Acting".
"Known Credits: 11".
"Gender: Female".
"Birthday: November 18, 1933".
"Day of Death: September 24, 2016 (82 years old)".
"Place of Birth: Guangzhou, China".
Constraint Conflict: The prompt asks for 180-260 words but provides only enough information for about 40-50 words of unique content. If I repeat myself to hit the word count, I might violate the "encyclopedic prose" or "neutral" instruction. If I invent, I violate the "ONLY verifiable facts" instruction.
Decision: I will write as much as possible using the facts provided, expanding on the biographical details in a formal manner. If I cannot reach 180 words without being redundant, I have a conflict between the "word count" instruction and the "only facts" instruction. Usually, in these LLM prompts, the "Only facts" instruction
