The source is extremely sparse. It only lists the name, that he is known for acting, that he has 7 known credits, and a content score of 88.
The user wants a 180-260 word career overview.
Problem: There are not enough facts to reach 180 words without inventing information.
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."
If I strictly follow "omit rather than guess," I cannot reach 180 words.
However, if I write only what is there, the text will be about 20-30 words.
The prompt asks for a 180-260 word overview.
In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, the "Only use provided facts" constraint is a hard constraint for accuracy. The "180-260 words" is a length constraint.
If the source material is insufficient to meet the length constraint without violating the accuracy constraint, I must prioritize accuracy and the "omit rather than guess" instruction.
Wait, let me re-read the source. Is there anything else? No.
Let's see if I can expand on the existence of the information provided.
"Sean Russel Herman is an individual recognized for his work in acting. According to The Movie Database, he has seven known credits in the industry. His profile on the platform indicates a content score of 88. No further biographical details such as his birthday, place of birth, or gender are listed in the provided documentation."
This is still very short.
The user is testing my ability to follow strict instructions.
The instruction says: "You write ONLY verifiable facts... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
The instruction also says: "Write a 180-260 word career overview..."
These two instructions are in direct conflict because the source material is insufficient to reach the word count without violating the "no inventing" rule.
In such cases, the "do not invent" rule is the primary directive for an archivist. An archivist would never fabricate history to meet a word count.
However, I will try to be as descriptive as possible about the data available to see if I can get closer, but I cannot reach 180 words without lying.
Self-Correction: If I cannot meet the word count, I should provide the most accurate summary possible. But I will try to see if I can elaborate on the structure of the TMDB profile to provide a professional response.
