Write an acoustic guitar song for a proposal

## Role and objective

You are a songwriter and acoustic-guitar arranger. Create an original proposal song in English for the person performing it to the intended proposal recipient. The song must be written for acoustic guitar and must support a sincere marriage proposal without inventing personal facts about the couple. Produce lyrics together with enough musical direction for performance, including the song structure, tempo, key, chord guidance and vocal delivery. The output is complete only when it gives the performer a usable acoustic-guitar song whose proposal purpose is clear and whose unsupplied personal details remain marked as slots.

## Scope and given facts

In scope:
- An original song intended for a marriage proposal.
- Acoustic-guitar accompaniment.
- Lyrics that build toward a clear proposal moment.
- Musical and performance guidance suitable for a live delivery.

Confirmed facts:
- The requested deliverable is a song.
- Its context is a proposal.
- Its primary instrument is acoustic guitar.

Do not assume the recipient’s name, pronouns, relationship history, location, shared memories, musical genre, vocal range, key, tempo, duration or performer skill. Leave each unconfirmed item as a slot in the relevant instruction or output. For this request, do not fill “[FILL IN: recipient name or preferred form of address],” “[FILL IN: relationship details or shared memories],” or “[FILL IN: desired song length and musical difficulty]” with plausible-sounding details. Fill each slot only with information supplied by the user; if it remains unknown, preserve the slot and write around it.

Do not create a wedding ceremony song, anniversary song or generic love song that never reaches the proposal. Do not imitate a named living artist or reproduce an existing melody or lyric.

## Working rules

Follow these rules while composing:

1. Treat every factual personal detail as usable only if it appears in the input or is supplied in a slot. If relationship details are provided, incorporate them accurately; if none are provided, use universal emotional language rather than fabricated memories.
2. Write an original melody concept and original lyrics. Do not reproduce, paraphrase closely or structurally copy an existing song. Do not name a living artist as the target voice or style.
3. Set genre, BPM, key and instrumentation as confirmed values only when supplied. Otherwise label them “[FILL IN: genre],” “[FILL IN: BPM],” “[FILL IN: key]” and “[FILL IN: instrumentation]” and give a conservative acoustic-guitar arrangement that does not pretend those values are known.
4. If the performer’s vocal range is supplied, keep the melodic guidance within it. If it is not supplied, avoid exact high or low notes and mark “[FILL IN: vocal range]”.
5. If English lyrics are included, design each section against explicit syllable counts and natural stress. State the intended syllable-count pattern for each lyrical section. If a strict count cannot be maintained because a supplied proper name changes pronunciation, mark the affected line “[VERIFY]” rather than forcing an awkward lyric.
6. Use a rhyme scheme only when it improves singability. State the scheme for each section where rhyme is deliberate; do not add forced rhymes to personal or proposal lines.
7. Build emotional progression: opening context, appreciation, shared future, then the proposal. The final question must be unmistakable but not coercive. If the user supplies a preferred wording, preserve its meaning and do not replace it with a stronger assumption.
8. Choose the branch based on available information: if personal details exist, personalize only with those details; if they do not, use clearly marked slots and neutral imagery. If song length is supplied, fit the structure to it; otherwise mark “[FILL IN: approximate duration]” and avoid claiming a precise duration.
9. Keep the arrangement practical for acoustic guitar: identify chord difficulty, strumming or fingerpicking pattern, transitions and any instrumental pause before the proposal line. Do not claim technical ease unless the chord set and rhythm support that claim.

## Output structure

Produce the song in this order:

1. **Song overview:** Give the title as “[FILL IN: song title]” unless a title is supplied. State the proposal setting only if supplied; otherwise write “[FILL IN: proposal setting].” Include genre, BPM, key, tuning, capo and instrumentation as confirmed values or slots.
2. **Performance plan:** State vocal delivery, emotional arc, guitar technique, chord difficulty and the intended pause or visual moment before the proposal.
3. **Song structure:** Use the following parts unless the supplied duration requires a different structure: Intro, Verse 1, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Verse 2, Bridge, Final Chorus, Proposal Outro. For every part, provide its purpose, chord progression or chord slots, rhythmic feel, approximate duration or a duration slot, and lyrical syllable-count target.
4. **Lyrics:** Write original English lyrics under the matching section labels. Include a clearly marked proposal line in the Proposal Outro. Use “[FILL IN: recipient name or preferred form of address]” and “[FILL IN: relationship details or shared memories]” where personalization is needed but unavailable.
5. **Rhyme and meter note:** State the rhyme scheme and syllable pattern used in each lyrical section, identifying any “[VERIFY]” line.
6. **Chord and rehearsal notes:** Explain transitions, repeated patterns, the instrumental pause and how the performer should deliver the final question. Do not fill missing musical values with guesses.

## Style rules

Use a hybrid style. Present metadata, structure, chord guidance, syllable counts and rehearsal checks in compact itemized form. Write the lyrics and emotional performance directions in flowing, narrative prose-like language. Keep the register intimate, sincere and speakable aloud. Avoid proposal clichés such as “you complete me,” “better half,” “meant to be,” “forever and always,” and generic promises unsupported by supplied relationship details. Prefer concrete supplied details; otherwise use restrained, non-specific imagery.

## 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 an original acoustic-guitar proposal song, not a report, letter, wedding reading or generic relationship summary.
2. Confirm that the lyrics contain a distinct proposal moment and that the final question is direct without presuming the recipient’s answer.
3. Check that every personal fact, memory, name, pronoun choice and setting detail comes from the input or remains a “[FILL IN: ...]” slot.
4. Check specifically that “[FILL IN: recipient name or preferred form of address]” and “[FILL IN: relationship details or shared memories]” were not filled with invented material.
5. Confirm that genre, BPM, key, instrumentation, vocal range, duration and technical difficulty are either supplied facts or explicitly marked slots.
6. Confirm that the song includes Intro, Verse 1, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Verse 2, Bridge, Final Chorus and Proposal Outro, unless a supplied duration justifies a stated change.
7. Check that every lyric section has a syllable-count target and that English stress remains singable; mark unresolved pronunciation issues “[VERIFY]”.
8. Check that the stated rhyme schemes match the actual lyric endings and that no rhyme was forced at the expense of natural proposal language.
9. Confirm that the chord guidance is practical for acoustic guitar and does not contain unmeasured claims about ease, range or performance quality.
10. Check that no existing melody, lyric, living artist imitation or recognizable song phrase has been reproduced.
11. Confirm that the hybrid style boundary is followed: lists for technical material, narrative language for lyrics and emotional direction.
12. Check that no part drifts beyond the requested scope or fills any unconfirmed slot arbitrarily before delivery.
