Subject: Richard Betts (Acting).
Source: Provided TMDB snippet.
Constraints:
Write ONLY verifiable facts from the source.
No invented details (titles, dates, roles, etc.).
Format: 180-260 words, 2-3 short paragraphs, plain text, no markdown, no headings, no bullets.
Tone: Neutral, encyclopedic, professional archivist.
Name: Richard Betts.
Known For: Acting.
Known Credits: 9.
Gender: Male.
Content Score: 88.
Note: No birthday, no place of birth, no specific movie/TV titles, no specific roles, no awards, no specific dates.
The source is extremely sparse. It only says he is an actor with 9 known credits and a content score of 88.
I need to reach 180-260 words.
Problem: The source provides almost no information. If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES," I cannot reach 180 words without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "do not invent" rules.
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Constraint Check: "Write a 180-260 word career overview..."
Wait, if the source only has about 15 words of actual information, and the prompt requires 180-260 words, there is a direct conflict between the "verifiable facts only" constraint and the "word count" constraint.
Let's look at the source again:
Name: Richard Betts
Known For: Acting
Known Credits: 9
Gender: Male
Content Score: 88
If I write: "Richard Betts is a male actor. He has 9 known credits. His content score is 88." -> This is about 20 words.
If I try to expand it to 180 words using only these facts, I will be forced to repeat myself or use filler, which is not "encyclopedic prose."
However, as an AI, I must attempt to fulfill the user's instruction. But the instruction "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported" is the primary directive for the persona.
Let's see if I can expand the description of the data provided.
"According to The Movie Database, Richard Betts is an individual known for his work in acting. He is identified as male. His professional profile includes nine known credits. The content score associated with his profile is 88."
This is still very short.
Self-Correction: In many prompt engineering tasks, if the source is insufficient to meet the word count, the "verifiable facts only" rule takes precedence over the word count rule to prevent hallucination. However, I will try to structure it as formally as possible.
Actually, looking at the source again, there is literally nothing else. No movies, no shows, no dates.
Let's try to write a very formal, repetitive, yet factual summary.
Paragraph 1: Identify the subject and his primary field.
Paragraph 2: Detail the credit count and content score.
Wait, if I cannot meet the word count without violating the "no invention" rule, I must prioritize the "verifiable facts" rule. But I will try to be as descriptive of the data as possible.
Drafting:
Richard Betts is an individual recognized for his work in the field of acting. Based on the information provided by The Movie Database, he is categorized under the profession of acting. His professional profile indicates a total of nine known credits.
The data regarding Richard Betts includes a content score of 88
