The synopsis for this specific episode is extremely brief: "Remembering passwords is hard, broh. Special characters, broh."
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: There is almost no plot information provided for this specific episode. I cannot invent plot points. I cannot say "Rick and Morty go to a planet to find a password." I can only say the episode involves the difficulty of remembering passwords and the use of special characters.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Constraint Check: "Never invent or guess... plot points."
Constraint Check: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap."
Wait, if I follow the instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" and "Never invent or guess... plot points," but the user also demands a "280-380 word episode recap," there is a conflict. If I write only what is in the synopsis, I will only have about 15 words.
