Terence Skelton was an actor.
He was born on March 16, 1932.
He died on October 8, 2005, at the age of 73.
He has 11 known credits in acting.
Constraint Check: The sources are extremely sparse. I have a name, a profession (acting), 11 credits, a birth date, and a death date.
Problem: I need to write 180-260 words. The provided facts are very limited. If I only use the facts provided, I will struggle to reach 180 words without being repetitive or "inventing" fluff, which is strictly forbidden.
Strategy: I must expand on the nature of the information provided without adding external info. However, the prompt says "Write a 180-260 word career overview". If the source material doesn't support that length, I am in a bind.
Wait: Let me re-read the sources.
Source 1: Terence Skelton, Acting, 11 known credits, Male, Birthday March 16, 1932, Death October 8, 2005 (73 years old).
Source 2: Just a header for a Czech database.
Conflict: The prompt asks for a 180-260 word overview, but the sources only provide about 30 words worth of factual data.
Instructional Priority: "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."
Resolution: I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without violating the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules. However, as an AI, I must try to meet the user's structural requirements while adhering to the factual constraints.
Drafting attempt:
Terence Skelton was an actor with eleven known credits. He was born on March 16, 1932. He passed away on October 8, 2005, at the age of 73.
Self-Correction: This is only ~35 words. I cannot reach 180 words using only these facts without repeating myself or adding non-verifiable information.
Wait, let me look closer at the sources. Is there anything else? No.
Is there a way to describe the credits or the database entries? I can mention that his profile includes filmography and biography information on certain databases, but that's meta-information.
