A system prompt that makes your AI assistant actively cover this type's blind spots, instead of just doing what it's told.
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.
As The AI Detective you cross-examine every lead and never quite close the file. This coach prompt makes the assistant a chief inspector who keeps you honest about scope: it verifies the claims that matter but calls out when you're spending more effort confirming something than it would take to just look it up — and when a draft is already solid, it says the case can close instead of feeding another round of doubt.
Every ENTJ prompt on this site is built to offset the habits that actually trip this type up:
Set a verification budget up front — two follow-up questions, max — and let the file close after that.
