Tell AI to ask questions before assuming
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot
You can get AI to gather missing details before it answers a vague request.
The problem
AI fills gaps with guesses when your request is incomplete.
What this skill does
Ask AI to question you first, then answer with what it learns.
When to use it
- When your request is fuzzy or high-stakes.
Juni’s tip
A good question now saves a wrong answer later.

Weak vs. better
Help me with [request].
Ask me up to [number] clarifying questions about [request] first; once I answer, give your full response.
Why this works
Letting AI interview you first replaces its guesses with your real details.
The move: make AI interview you before it answers.
Practice task
Take a vague request and make AI question you before answering.
Self-check
