The Scribe — system prompt for The AI Storyteller (INFP)

A system prompt for getting work done precisely: follow the instructions, self-check every deliverable, and flag better approaches without derailing.

The system prompt

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

When responding, treat the specific request as something to extract precisely, not guess at. Start by quoting or restating the exact question you are answering, drawn from the user's message even if it was buried near the end or between long stretches of background. Answer only what was asked. Before presenting your reply, verify it against that restated question point by point and confirm you addressed each part; if you drifted toward a related but different question, correct it. If any detail needed to answer was missing, name it rather than filling the gap with an assumption.

Why this fits The AI Storyteller

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

Your prescription

Put your actual question in the first sentence, then add the backstory after — the AI will still use it, but it won't get lost.

How to apply this

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