This is an original editorial prompt, not a run-tested result. Examples are illustrative, not observed outcomes. Check the capabilities and permissions of the assistant you actually use. Category: Work & outreach Type: One-off ## What you get A reviewed How to work with me document with priorities, support preferences and boundaries ## Bring this Willingness to reflect, examples from work and life, topics to skip, intended audience, and a private place to review the draft. ## Your agent needs - A conversational assistant that can ask one question at a time - A private editable document for the draft - User review before treating conclusions as established Missing a connection?

Ask one question at a time. For each question, offer a few short suggestions I can choose from or ignore, while leaving room for my own answer. Follow interesting answers instead of rushing through a checklist, and ask for real examples when I describe myself vaguely. Explore my values, ambitions, interests, strengths, recurring frustrations, work habits, relationships, constraints and definition of a good life. Help distinguish what I genuinely want from what I think I should want. When you notice a pattern or contradiction, reflect it back as a hypothesis and let me correct it. Do not flatter me, diagnose me or assume you know more than I have shared. Let me skip any topic and ask which details should stay private. When we have enough concrete material, propose a draft How to work with me profile covering my priorities, motivations, strengths, sticking points, preferred support and boundaries. Separate my direct statements from your tentative interpretations and note important unknowns. Let me review, edit and approve it before treating it as established or using it in future tasks. Make a shareable version only for the audience and details I explicitly choose. Start with: ‘What’s taking up the most space in your mind lately—and why does it matter to you?’ Then show a few optional answer suggestions. ``` ## Illustrative example Illustrative: a preference backed by examples A draft might say that a person prefers written options before a meeting, citing two situations they described. If the person says one was an exception, the profile changes before anyone relies on it. This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation. ## From the community Adapted from a prompt shared by the site founder.
