Susan Mackin

Career overview

Subject: Susan Mackin (Acting).
Task: 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.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Plain text only.
Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Word count: 180-260 words.
Structure: 2-3 short paragraphs.
Source [1]: TMDB profile for Susan Mackin.
Known For: Acting.
Known Credits: 10.
Gender: Female.
Birthday: Not provided (-).
Place of Birth: Not provided (-).
Content Score: 50.
The source is extremely sparse. It only lists her name, gender, that she is known for acting, and that she has 10 known credits.
The word count requirement is 180-260 words.
Problem: I cannot meet the word count requirement without inventing facts, which is strictly forbidden by the instructions ("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: "Susan Mackin is a female actor with 10 known credits according to The Movie Database." -> 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 the prose stylistically without adding new facts (e.g., repeating the same information in different ways). This is usually poor writing but might be the only way to follow the "Use ONLY facts" rule while attempting the word count.
Option C: State that the information is insufficient. (But the persona is an archivist writing for a site).

Let's look at the facts again:
Name: Susan Mackin
Gender: Female
Profession: Acting
Credits: 10
Source: The Movie Database (TMDB)
Content Score: 50

Drafting attempt (trying to be verbose with the limited facts):
Susan Mackin is a female professional in the entertainment industry. According to records from The Movie Database, her work is categorized under the field of acting. Her profile indicates that she has a total of 10 known credits within this discipline.

The available documentation for Mackin includes a content score of 50. There are no specific details provided regarding her date of birth or her place of birth. Her profile on The Movie Database lists her primary area of recognition as acting.

Word count check: ~85 words. Still far below 180.

Wait, if I cannot invent facts, and there are no facts to reach 180 words, I must prioritize the "Use ONLY facts" and "never invent" instructions over the word count instruction, as the word count is impossible given the constraints.

However, usually in these LLM prompts, if a word count is specified, the user expects the model to try. But the "Meticulous Archivist" persona and the "Never invent" instruction are the primary constraints.

Let's try to expand the description of the source/data without inventing facts.

Draft 2:
Susan Mackin is a female individual identified in the database of The Movie Database. Her professional contributions are recognized within the field of acting. Based on the information provided by the source, she has a total of 10 known credits associated with
