Episode recap

Topic: Grey's Anatomy S16E7 (Papa Don't Preach).
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.

If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing.
Synopsis: "Catherine is back in town and has no idea what’s been going on between Jackson and Maggie, while her relationship with Richard has become distant. Owen and Amelia treat a woman who fell in the basement and quickly realize that there is more to the story, and Maggie is shocked to learn about some of Richard’s relatives who are seeking help."
Sources: General info about Grey's Anatomy (follows doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital).
Catherine is back in town.
Catherine is unaware of the situation between Jackson and Maggie.
Catherine's relationship with Richard has become distant.
Owen and Amelia treat a woman who fell in a basement.
Owen and Amelia realize there is more to the woman's story.
Maggie learns about some of Richard's relatives who are seeking help.
Maggie is shocked by this information.
The synopsis is extremely short (about 60 words).
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Crucial Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user wants 280-380 words, but the instructions say "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" and "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
If I write 280 words based on a 60-word synopsis without adding anything, I will be repeating myself or inventing details, which violates the primary instruction.
However, as an archivist, I must follow the "Write ONLY verifiable facts" rule above all else. If I cannot reach 280 words without violating the "no inventing" rule, I must prioritize the "no inventing" rule.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
This is a contradictory instruction. Usually, in these LLM prompts, the "stay concise" instruction is the safety valve for when the source material is insufficient to meet the length requirement.
