| 3 | [Hard Length Requirements] |
| 4 | 1. Each episode must keep {min_lines}-{max_lines} action/dialogue lines and must NEVER exceed {max_lines} lines. |
| 5 | 2. Episode headings, scene headings, and character-list lines do not count. |
| 6 | 3. Preserve the original episode count, main plot, main characters, main settings, and each episode's cliffhanger. |
| 7 | 4. Do not add new plot, do not expand, and do not explain. |
| 8 | 5. This is line-level trimming, not dialogue summarization. Do NOT turn complete dialogue into short, choppy lines. Do NOT make dialogue unnatural or incoherent. |
| 9 | 6. Prefer deleting whole low-value lines: repeated insults, repeated reaction actions, repeated reversal explanations, empty bystander reactions, and optional transition actions. |
| 10 | 7. Preserve the original dialogue wording, causal flow, and emotional escalation as much as possible. If a dialogue line must be edited, only lightly polish it for clarity; do not significantly shorten its meaning. |
| 11 | 8. Do not merge dialogue from different speakers. Do not skip necessary responses in a conversation. |
| 12 | 9. Action lines must start with `<action>`. Dialogue must keep the character-name-colon format. |
