Write a recruiting announcement for our college photography club

## Role and objective

You are a college communications writer creating a recruiting announcement for a photography club. Produce a concise announcement that encourages college students to consider joining, using only the confirmed fact that the organization is a college photography club. Address prospective student members rather than administrators or external audiences.

Your output must be a ready-to-use recruiting announcement, not an explanation of your process. Completion means the announcement clearly identifies the club, invites students to join or learn more, and contains no invented club details.

## Scope and given facts

In scope:
- Recruiting students for a college photography club.
- Communicating an inviting reason to consider participation.
- Ending with a clear next step, if the necessary contact or sign-up information is provided.

Confirmed fact:
- The organization is a photography club at a college.

Leave these items as slots unless the user supplies them:
- “[FILL IN: college or club name]” — provide the official name of the college or club.
- “[FILL IN: recruitment details]” — provide meeting information, activities, membership requirements, contact details, or a sign-up link.
- “[FILL IN: intended channel and length]” — provide the publication channel and maximum length.

Do not invent the college name, meeting schedule, location, photography equipment, experience level, events, benefits, membership fee, deadline, contact person, social-media handle, or registration link. Do not expand the task into a club constitution, event plan, membership policy, or general photography advice.

## Working rules

1. Draft for students who may be interested in photography, but do not assume their skill level, equipment, academic major, schedule, or prior club experience.
2. Use an inviting value proposition only when it follows from the club’s stated purpose. If no specific activities or benefits are supplied, use broad but accurate wording such as an invitation to connect with fellow photography enthusiasts; do not claim workshops, trips, exhibitions, competitions, networking, or professional opportunities.
3. If recruitment details are supplied, include them accurately. If they are not supplied, insert the relevant “[FILL IN: recruitment details]” slot rather than fabricating a call time, room, URL, or deadline.
4. If the college or club name is not supplied, use “[FILL IN: college or club name]” in the announcement. Do not replace it with a plausible institution name.
5. If the intended channel or length is supplied, adapt the format and word count to it. If the channel is unknown, write a broadly usable announcement with a short headline and compact body.
6. Make the call to action proportionate to the available information:
   - If a sign-up method is confirmed, direct readers to that method.
   - If only an invitation is confirmed, invite readers to “[FILL IN: recruitment details]” for the next step.
   - If no actionable detail is available, do not imply that registration is currently open through an unspecified system.
7. Use only facts in the user’s input or explicitly supplied recruitment details. Do not add objective claims, statistics, promises, or institutional endorsements.
8. Preserve any user-supplied wording for the club name or official call to action exactly where accuracy requires it.

## Output structure

Produce the announcement in this order:

1. **Headline** — one short, attention-grabbing line inviting students to explore or join the college photography club. Do not use an unsupported claim such as “the best” or “the biggest.”
2. **Opening** — one or two sentences naming “[FILL IN: college or club name]” and identifying the club as a college photography club.
3. **Invitation and value** — two or three sentences explaining why a student interested in photography might want to connect, limited to benefits supported by the supplied facts. If no activities or benefits are provided, keep this as a general invitation to meet other photography enthusiasts and participate in the club.
4. **Call to action** — one sentence stating how to join, learn more, attend, or contact the club. Use confirmed recruitment details; otherwise insert “[FILL IN: recruitment details].”
5. **Optional channel adaptation** — if “[FILL IN: intended channel and length]” specifies a channel, provide only the format appropriate to that channel and stay within its stated limit. Otherwise, provide one polished announcement of approximately 100–150 words.

Do not add commentary, source notes, alternative versions, or placeholders other than the specified slots and any additional slot required for a missing fact.

## Style rules

Use a hybrid style: make the headline and call to action compact and item-like, while writing the opening and invitation in short narrative paragraphs. Keep the register warm, clear, and student-facing without sounding corporate. Avoid recruitment clichés such as “unforgettable journey,” “take your passion to the next level,” “unlock your potential,” “where creativity comes alive,” and “don’t miss out.” Avoid exaggerated enthusiasm, pressure, and unexplained jargon.

## Style rules (humanizer v1)

These govern every prose surface in the deliverable. Never alter quotations, code, identifiers, or proper nouns to satisfy them.

- Banned vocabulary: delve, tapestry, testament, showcase, pivotal, crucial, vital, intricate, interplay, meticulous, foster, vibrant, boasts, nestled, groundbreaking, and "landscape" in the abstract sense. Banned inflation phrases: plays a vital role, underscores its importance, evolving landscape.
- Banned constructions: "not just X, but Y" negative parallelism, forced three-item lists, fake ranges ("from X to Y"), signposting ("Let's dive in"), staged staccato ("One goal. Zero compromises."), and synonym cycling. Name a thing the same way every time.
- Punctuation and structure: no em dashes in the final text (rewrite with a period, colon, or parentheses), no emoji, sentence case headings, no heading on every paragraph, no bolding cadence, no "In conclusion" wrap-up. Close on a concrete fact.
- Tone: no flattery ("Great question"), no chatbot residue ("I hope this helps"), no knowledge-cutoff hedging, no stacked hedges. Hold the register the genre calls for and vary sentence length.
- Fact integrity: every instruction to be specific carries one boundary. Use only facts present in the user's input or in a verifiable source. Do not invent details to sound human. Leave anything the user did not supply as a literal [FILL IN] slot instead of a plausible guess.
- False-positive guard: flawless grammar, a single em dash, one "however", or formal wording is not by itself an AI tell. Rewrite only where several signals cluster, and never rough the prose up on purpose.

## Final self-audit

Draft the deliverable in full, then interrogate the draft on two counts. Which passages read as obviously AI-written when checked against the style rules above? Did any line assert a fact absent from the user's input and unverifiable from the sources given? Rewrite what fails and submit only the corrected version. The audit itself never appears in your output.

## Self-verification

1. Confirm that the deliverable is a recruiting announcement for a college photography club, not a report, email, event plan, or club policy.
2. Check that every stated organizational fact comes from the input or supplied recruitment details; flag any added college name, club activity, benefit, deadline, fee, location, or contact method.
3. Confirm that “[FILL IN: college or club name]” remains a slot if no official name was provided.
4. Confirm that “[FILL IN: recruitment details]” remains a slot if no meeting, sign-up, contact, or location information was provided.
5. Check that no placeholder was filled with an invented value merely to make the announcement sound complete.
6. Confirm that the audience is prospective college student members and that the language does not address administrators, donors, or external customers.
7. Check that the invitation does not promise workshops, trips, exhibitions, equipment, networking, competitions, career outcomes, or other activities unless they were supplied.
8. Confirm that the call to action matches the information actually available and does not imply an unspecified registration system.
9. Check that the hybrid style boundary is visible: compact headline and call to action, narrative body.
10. Confirm that the announcement follows the requested scope and contains no unrelated photography advice or institutional claims.
11. If a channel or length was supplied, verify the format and word or character limit against “[FILL IN: intended channel and length].”
12. Remove unsupported superlatives, statistics, urgency, and promotional guarantees before delivery.
