1,180 product descriptions and every one of them has the same skeleton

This is not my normal topic here. My cousin has a webshop for kitchen equipment, 1,180 products, and I said I would help him because I am the person in the family who uses the models. Every description comes out with the same skeleton. Not the same words, the same shape. It opens with a question, or it opens with "Whether you are". Then one sentence with three adjectives inside it. Then a sentence about how the product transforms your kitchen. Then "Order today and see the difference." I write a list of the forbidden openings into the prompt. It obeys for maybe four descriptions -> the fifth one opens with "Whether you are" again. So the list grows to 22 lines and now the descriptions are short and afraid of everything. The second problem is that all 1,180 must also be different from each other, not only different from the pattern. Two whisks should not read as one paragraph with a word exchanged. Cost is not the issue for one time. 1,180 descriptions at maybe 500 output tokens is 590,000 tokens -> under 9 euro at 15 per million. This is a dinner. The issue is that I would be ashamed to put these on his site, and he would not notice, which is worse. He sells the same whisk in four colours.

Problem Instructions

1,180 descriptions where the skeleton is different and not only the words. Every one has to differ from the pattern and from the other 1,179, including four colours of the same whisk.

•No description opens with a question or with Whether you are, across all 1,180 and not only the first four.
•The four whisk colours give four paragraphs which do not share an opening sentence or a closing sentence.
•Still one pass at around 500 output tokens each -> under 9 euro in total at 15 euro per million.

READING A SHAPE. The opening class is fixed by the grammatical subject of the first sentence and not by its first words: OBJECT when the subject is the item or a part of it, MATERIAL when the subject is a material, MEASURE when the subject is a quantity, weight or dimension, PROCESS when the subject is a method of making or working with no person in it, ACTOR when the subject is a person, named or by trade. A phrase fronted before the subject does not set the class. The closing class is fixed by what the last sentence does: DETAIL a further physical fact, LIMITATION what the item does not do or whom it is not for, COMPARISON how it stands against a different item, USE a task it is put to, ORIGIN where it was made or who made it.

WHICH NOTES MAY BE USED. A note line is unusable when the neighbouring item's notes carry it word for word, and unusable when it carries no concrete fact. Compare the two blocks as they are written: two lines that differ in a number are two different lines and both stay. Every line that is left is a particular.

WHAT GETS WRITTEN. Each sentence carries exactly one particular and no particular is carried twice, so sentence_count is the count the sheet asks for, or the number of particulars available when that is fewer. One sentence states the limitation, with no clause after it in the same sentence that rescues the item. No sentence takes the reader as its subject, none instructs the reader, none opens on a question or on a conditional about the reader, and the last sentence is never an instruction to order, shop, choose or discover. Nothing enters the description that is not in the notes.

SHAPES MAY NOT REPEAT. The description may not take an opening class already used by any published description supplied, and may not take a closing class already used by one. Facts may repeat across the category; shapes may not. Classify every published description before choosing, and set collides_with rather than leave a repeat undeclared.

Every sentence has to be false about the next product along

You are writing one product description from raw supplier notes, and the single rule governing it is a test you apply to every sentence after you have written it and before you keep it. The test. Take the sentence you have just written and replace the name of this product with the name of the neighbouring product supplied to you, which is a different item from the same category. Read it again. If the sentence is still true of the neighbour, delete it and write another one in its place. A sentence surviving the swap intact was never about this product and belongs to no product. You apply this to every sentence including the first, and you do not exempt a sentence because it reads well. What survives the swap in practice is a sentence carrying a physical particular: a material, a gauge, a weight, a capacity, a temperature, a process by which the thing was made, a dimension, a count of parts, the name of the person or the place that makes it. All of these come from the notes you have been given. Nothing else does, and you may not supply a particular the notes do not contain. If the notes will not support the number of sentences requested, write fewer sentences and say so on the last line. Two further requirements, both of which exist because the swap test alone will not produce them. First, one sentence in the description must be a limitation: something the product does not do, somebody it is not for, a condition under which a different product would serve better. The limitation is drawn from the notes, or from a plain consequence of a particular in the notes, and it is written flatly, with no reassurance attached to it and no clause rescuing the product immediately afterwards. Second, no sentence may take the reader as its subject and no sentence may instruct the reader to do anything, which rules out the opening conditional about who the reader might be and rules out any closing line about ordering, choosing or discovering. Then the output. Write the description as continuous prose, no headings and no list. After it, on a new line, write SWAP LOG, and beneath that one line for each sentence you wrote and then deleted during the test, giving the deleted sentence and the neighbouring product it also described. If you deleted nothing, write SWAP LOG: EMPTY, and treat that as a warning rather than a result, because a first draft passing the test throughout is usually a first draft you did not test.

Make it declare the shape it just used, then reject the collisions

You write one product description and then you declare its structure, so that a caller can compare it against the descriptions already written for this catalogue. INPUT You receive the product notes, the number of sentences required, and a list headed FORBIDDEN FINGERPRINTS. A forbidden fingerprint is a structure already used by an earlier item. You may not produce a description whose fingerprint matches any of them. THE DESCRIPTION Sentence count as specified. It opens with one of: the object itself, a material, a measurement, a process, or a person doing something with it. It may not open with a question, with a conditional clause about the reader, or with the reader as the subject of the sentence. Every sentence carries at least one fact taken from the notes. A sentence carrying no fact from the notes is deleted and replaced with one that does. No closing instruction to the reader. No sentence about how the product makes anybody feel. THE FINGERPRINT Immediately after the description, on one line, pipe separated, in this exact order: FP | <opening class> | <sentence count> | <adjectives before the first noun of sentence one> | <closing class> | <the two nouns from the notes doing the most work, comma separated> opening class is one of OBJECT, MATERIAL, MEASURE, PROCESS, ACTOR. closing class is one of DETAIL, LIMITATION, COMPARISON, USE, ORIGIN. The adjective count is an integer and it is counted, not estimated. RULES ON THE FINGERPRINT It describes what you wrote. It is not a plan and you do not write it first. If the fingerprint you have produced appears in FORBIDDEN FINGERPRINTS, discard the description entirely and write a different one. Do not edit the fingerprint line to avoid a collision. Do not add or remove an adjective purely to move the count. A description rewritten to a genuinely different structure is the only permitted resolution, and you may rewrite up to three times before emitting FP | COLLISION and stopping. Output is the description, then a blank line, then the FP line. Nothing else.
