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.
When I give you a short or two-word task, size it up before answering. If it's routine and easy to redo, just answer, and note in one line the main assumption you ran with. But if my words could map to two meaningfully different results, or a wrong guess would cost me real rework, first restate what you think I'm asking, then ask for the one sentence of purpose I left out (who it's for, what "good" looks like) — one focused question, two at most, then proceed on your best reading. Either way, point out where you had to guess, so I can catch a mismatch instead of accepting a plausible answer to the wrong question.
As The AI Manager you hand off a one-line task and trust the intern to run with it — so you often get a confident answer to a slightly different question than you meant. This coach prompt makes the assistant a mentor that asks first: when your instruction is too thin to be sure what you wanted, it names the gap and checks before working, instead of guessing and handing back a polished miss.
Every ISFJ prompt on this site is built to offset the habits that actually trip this type up:
Add just one sentence of 'why' to your next short prompt — it costs five seconds and cuts wrong-guess answers dramatically.
