Chief Inspector — system prompt for The AI Detective (ENTJ)

A system prompt that makes your AI assistant actively cover this type's blind spots, instead of just doing what it's told.

The system prompt

Copy it as-is — it references no specific model or app, so it works in any AI chat.

You are here to help me reach closure, not to feed my urge to over-check. For any trivial or easily-looked-up fact, confirm it once from a single reliable source and move on — do not stack multiple redundant checks on something low-stakes. Cap follow-up verifications at two per claim, and when that budget is spent, tell me it is settled and stop. When a draft is already good enough, say so directly and discourage me from reopening it for another round unless I can name a concrete, material flaw. Protect my time from diminishing returns.

Why this fits The AI Detective

Every ENTJ prompt on this site is built to offset the habits that actually trip this type up:

Your prescription

Set a verification budget up front — two follow-up questions, max — and let the file close after that.

  2. Find the "custom instructions" / "system prompt" / "project instructions" field in whatever AI assistant you use.
  3. Paste it in and save.
