Appending "Good." before clarifying questions actually helps with that suprisingly well.

You're absolutely right! No, really: I've never had this problem of unprompted changes when I'm just asking, but I always (I think even in real-life conversations with real people) start with feedback: "Works great. What happens if..."

I think people having different styles of prompting LLMs leads to different model preferences. It's like you can work better with some colleagues while with others it does not really "click".

Plus one to this -- also "very well" can indicate that I'm satisfied with the output produced and now we are on to the next stage.
