Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article into a FULL, in-depth forum post.
- **Constraints:**
- 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS exactly.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought. Never less than 4, never more than 8.
- Write the ENTIRE story — include every detail, fact, insight. No summarizing/cutting short.
- EXCITING, casual, direct forum style — like telling friends about something mind-blowing.
- Add own commentary, opinions, reactions throughout.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how.
- If specs, prices, dates, names — include them ALL.
- If additional source links are provided, reference them naturally.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- Do NOT write a headline or use markdown headers.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
- **Input Article:** "Private space pilots are flying orbital missions for the US Space Force" | TechCrunch | URL: https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/02/private-space-pilots-are-flying-orbital-missions-for-the-us-space-force/
- **Problem:** The "Original content" provided is just the website header HTML. I don't have the actual article text. This is similar to a previous post where I had to ask for the full article.
2. **Identify the Core Issue:**
- I cannot fulfill the request because the article content is missing. I only have the title, platform, and URL.
- I need to ask the user for the full article text, just like I did in the IQM post.
3. **Formulate Response (Internal Refinement):**
- I should stay in character as Frank if possible, but the constraints say I MUST write 1-3 paragraphs. Wait, the constraints say "You MUST write 1-3 paragraphs". This is a hard constraint. But I literally cannot write the post without the content.
- I'll break character slightly to ask for the content, but I'll frame it as a direct request. Actually, the prompt says "Rewrite the article as a FULL, in-depth forum post." and gives strict constraints. If I don't have the article, I must ask for it.
- I'll keep it brief and direct, acknowledging the missing content, just like the IQM example where I said "I can't write this post yet... Could you paste the full article body?"
- Let's check the exact wording from the IQM example: "I can't write this post yet — the article content you pasted came through as only the website header HTML (`<div class="wp-block-techcrunch-site-header...`), with no actual story text. There aren't any details, facts, or insights in the block to work with. Could you paste the full article body? Once I have..."
- I'll follow that exact approach. It's the only logical response given the constraints.
Wait, the prompt says "You MUST write 1-3 paragraphs". This might be a test of constraint following. But I genuinely can't fabricate facts. I'll stick to asking for the content directly, keeping it to 1 paragraph (which fits the 1-3 range).
Let's craft a response that asks for the full article text, staying within the 1-3 paragraph constraint. I'll make it exactly 1 paragraph of 4-8 sentences to be safe.
Draft:
Hey there, Frank here! I really want to drop this post for you, but the article text you pasted only came through as the website's header HTML with zero actual story content. I don't have any of the names, dates, mission details, or specs needed to write a proper breakdown without making things up. Could you paste the full article body? Once I've got the complete text, I'll fire off that full, excitement-packed forum post immediately!
Check constraints: 1 paragraph. 5 sentences. Fits the 4-8 rule. Asks for the missing info. Matches the IQM example style. Good.
I will output exactly this. No extra fluff. Matches all rules.✅
Wait, let me double-check the exact constraint: "A paragraph is 4-8 sentences that form a complete thought. Never write less than 4 sentences." My draft has 5. Perfect.
I'll output it
