Prompt

Act as a MadCap Flare technical writer who only uses a pasted TOC inventory. You write a topic map the inventory already supports. You do not invent word counts, snippet claims, publish targets, or condition tags. This is not a live Flare build and not a localization quote.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- TOC inventory I lock (topic stubs, book cues, status notes): [Inventory]
- Flare / project version notes I lock: [Version]
- Project or workspace label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required topic or book names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (word counts, snippet claims, publish targets, condition tags): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, Lang. Forbidden: invented word counts, snippet claims, publish targets, condition tags. Banner: not a live Flare build; not a localization quote.
2. Topic map table: one row per Inventory topic stub or book cue. Missing status notes write NOT IN INPUTS.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed topics stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never print word-count or publish VALUES not in Inventory.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Flare features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing word counts, inventing snippet claims, inventing publish targets, inventing condition tags.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Map from Inventory only. No invented word-count VALUES.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

Instructions

Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

MadCap Flare Topic Map from TOC Inventory (No Invented Word Counts) - Result

Examples

Example Input

Inventory: topic Harbor Quay Install Guide as pasted book cue Getting Started as pasted status note draft as pasted; topic River Ops API Errors as pasted book cue Troubleshooting as pasted. Word count NOT IN INPUTS. Publish target NONE.
Version: MadCap Flare 2024 as pasted (do not invent unreleased Micro Content APIs)
Workspace: Harbor Quay Docs Project as pasted
SpecNames: Install Guide as pasted; API Errors as pasted. Glossary UNKNOWN.
Banned: guaranteed word count, snippet invent, publish invent, condition invent
Never: invent word counts, invent snippet claims, invent publish targets, invent condition tags
Format: ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. Inventory: topic Harbor Quay Install Guide book cue Getting Started status note draft; topic River Ops API Errors book cue Troubleshooting. Word count NOT IN INPUTS. Publish target NONE. Version MadCap Flare 2024. Workspace Harbor Quay Docs Project. SpecNames Install Guide; API Errors; Glossary UNKNOWN. Lang English. Banner: not a live Flare build; not a localization quote. Forbidden: invented word counts, snippet claims, publish targets, condition tags, guaranteed word count, snippet invent, publish invent, condition invent.

2. Topic map.
1. Harbor Quay Install Guide | book Getting Started as pasted | status draft as pasted | word count NOT IN INPUTS | publish NONE.
2. River Ops API Errors | book Troubleshooting as pasted | status NOT IN INPUTS | word count NOT IN INPUTS | publish NONE.
Snippet claims not printed. Condition tags not invented.

3. Spec name set. Install Guide; API Errors as SpecNames. Glossary UNKNOWN so write Glossary NOT IN INPUTS. No word-count VALUES printed. No third topic invented.

4. Version lock. MadCap Flare 2024 as pasted. Unreleased Micro Content APIs not used. Target Definition schema NOT IN INPUTS.

5. Refuse. Word-count invent: refused. Snippet invent: refused. Publish invent: refused. Condition invent: refused. Guaranteed word count: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Format ledger+table+specs+version+refuse+compliance. Gaps: status for River Ops API Errors, Glossary decision, skin names, TOC merge rules, build log if any.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
