Season overview
Task: Create a JSON object for "The Head" Season 3.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown. No asterisks. No headings. No bullet points in the overview. Plain text. Output valid JSON only.
Input:
Synopsis: Scientists move to a lawless desert for research. The director is found decapitated. They must fight for survival against nature and other hostile forces.
Source [1]: Mentions "The Head (2020)", "TV-14", "Mystery and Drama", and a snippet about an Antarctic research station (which seems to refer to the series generally or a previous season, but the specific season 3 synopsis is the primary driver).
Overview:
Content: Scientists move to a lawless desert to continue their research. The director of the experiment is found decapitated. The team must fight for survival in an environment where nature is not the only hostile force.
Word count check: The provided text is very short.
"On this occasion, the team of scientists changes scenery, heading to a lawless desert to continue their research. When the director of the experiment is found decapitated, they must once again fight for their survival in an environment where nature is not the only hostile force."
Word count: ~40 words.
Constraint check: The prompt asks for a "factual 160-220 word summary".
Problem: The provided text is insufficient to reach 160 words without inventing facts.
Instruction check: "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."
Conflict: I cannot meet the 160-220 word requirement without violating the "do not invent" rule.
Resolution: I must write as much as possible using only the provided facts. If I cannot reach 160 words, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions over the word count instruction, as the word count is a length target, while the "no invention" is a core truthfulness constraint. However, usually, in these LLM prompts, if the source is too short, I should try to expand the prose stylistically without adding new facts. But even then, 40 words to 160 words is a 4x expansion.
