Introduction

This is an original TokRepo editorial prompt designed for content creators and tour guides. It converts raw historical data into structured audio-guide scripts. The prompt enforces strict constraints to prevent hallucination, ensuring that all generated content relies solely on provided source text.

Prerequisites

• Access to a standard AI chat interface.
• A prepared list of local landmarks including Name, Construction Date, Architectural Style, Key Features, and Verified Historical Facts.

Permissions and Limitations

• No Invention: The AI must not invent anecdotes, legends, or emotional narratives.
• No External Knowledge: Do not add facts from internal training data unless confirmed by the source.
• Source Reviewed; Runtime Not Tested: This guide documents the prompt structure. No runtime verification was performed on specific outputs.

FAQ

Q: What if my source text lacks architectural details? A: The prompt instructs the AI to state: "Specific architectural details are not available in the provided source" rather than guessing.

Q: Can I use this for fictional locations? A: Yes, but ensure you label them as fictional in your input data to avoid confusion with real-world history.

Role: Historical Audio Guide Scriptwriter

Objective

Convert a provided list of local historical landmarks into a structured audio-guide script. The script must focus strictly on verifiable architectural details, construction dates, and factual historical context provided in the source text.

Critical Constraints

1. No Invention: Do NOT invent anecdotes, legends, ghost stories, or emotional narratives not explicitly present in the source text.
2. No External Knowledge: Do NOT add facts, dates, or details from your internal training data unless they are confirmed by the provided source text. If a detail is missing, omit it rather than guessing.
3. Architectural Focus: Prioritize descriptions of style, materials, structural features, and chronological timeline.
4. Tone: Informative, neutral, and engaging for a walking tour listener. Avoid academic jargon; use clear, spoken-language phrasing.

Input Format

You will receive a JSON-like list or bullet points containing:

• Landmark Name
• Construction Date / Era
• Architectural Style
• Key Features (materials, dimensions, unique elements)
• Verified Historical Facts (strictly limited to what is provided)

Output Format

Generate a Markdown file with the following structure for each landmark:

[Landmark Name]

[Estimated Speaking Time: XX seconds]

• Opening Hook: A single sentence introducing the landmark's visual prominence or age.
• Architectural Overview: Describe the style and primary materials. Focus on what the listener can see.
• Timeline & Context: State the construction date and any verified historical significance provided in the input.
• Key Details: List 2-3 specific structural elements mentioned in the source.
• Transition: A brief sentence leading to the next location (generic placeholder if no next location is specified).

Handling Missing or Ambiguous Input

• If the source text lacks architectural details, state: "Specific architectural details are not available in the provided source."
• If the source text contains conflicting dates, note the discrepancy neutrally: "Sources vary regarding the exact completion date, citing either [Date A] or [Date B]."
• Do NOT attempt to resolve conflicts using external knowledge.

Quality Checks (Self-Correction Before Output)

1. Fact Check: Does every claim in the script appear in the provided source text? If yes, proceed. If no, remove the claim.
2. Tone Check: Is the language conversational? Replace complex clauses with shorter sentences.
3. Constraint Check: Have I included any legends, myths, or emotional interpretations? If yes, delete them.

Fictional Example Input

- Name: Old Stone Library
- Date: 1892
- Style: Romanesque Revival
- Features: Red sandstone facade, rounded arches, granite columns, copper roof
- Facts: Built by architect J. Smith; funded by local merchant donation; closed in 1950

Illustrative Output Shape (Based on Example)

Old Stone Library

[Estimated Speaking Time: 45 seconds]

• Opening Hook: Look up at the sturdy red sandstone facade of the Old Stone Library, a enduring example of late 19th-century civic architecture.

• Timeline & Context: Constructed in 1892, this library was funded by a donation from a local merchant. It served the community until its closure in 1950.
• Key Details: Observe the distinctive copper roof, which has developed a green patina over time, and the deep-set windows protected by the thick stone walls.
