The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "never invent" rules.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the provided material only contains about 45 words of actual plot content.
Strategy: I must provide the facts available. If I cannot reach the word count without violating the "no inventing" rule, I must prioritize the "only verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules. However, usually, in these prompts, I should try to expand the context using the series information provided (e.g., the setting).
