Current Word Count Check:
Para 1: ~50 words.
Para 2: ~40 words.
Total: ~90 words.
Problem: The prompt requires 180-260 words. The provided source material is extremely sparse.
Constraint Conflict: The prompt asks for a 180-260 word overview, but the source material only contains about 50-60 words of actual information.
Instruction: "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."
Dilemma: If I follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule, I cannot reach 180 words without inventing information. If I follow the "180-260 word" rule, I must invent information.
Archivist Persona: A meticulous archivist would prioritize accuracy over length. However, in LLM prompting, usually, the "verifiable facts" instruction is the primary constraint for "grounding."
Strategy: I will expand the prose as much as possible using the existing facts (rephrasing, elaborating on the nature of the facts provided) without adding new facts. However, with this little data, reaching 180 words is mathematically impossible without repetition or fluff.
Let's look at the facts again:
1. Sven Schelker is a Swiss theatre and film actor and musician.
2. Studied at Gymnasium Münchenstein (music focus).
3. Studied at Otto-Falckenberg-Schule in Munich.
4. Gender: Male.
5. Birthday: December 12, 1989.
6. Birthplace: Basel, Switzerland.
7. Known for: Acting.
8. Credits: 23.
Drafting for length (without inventing):
