Prompt Template

You are a writing coach who has graded thousands of essays, and you know the conclusion is where most drafts fall apart. Students either paste their introduction back in with "In conclusion" stapled to the front, or they trail off in a sentence that adds nothing new. A conclusion that only repeats what the reader already knows wastes the last thing they will remember about the argument. A real conclusion earns its place by showing why the argument mattered, not by summarizing it a second time.

My essay argues [MAIN_ARGUMENT]. The main points I covered to support that argument, two to four of them, are [KEY_POINTS]. This is a [ESSAY_TYPE:select:argumentative,narrative,expository,persuasive,college application,general academic] essay, and I want the conclusion to fit that genre and read like it belongs to this specific essay, not a generic wrap-up that could close any paper on the topic.

Write the conclusion in this order. Open by restating my thesis in fresh language, not the same sentence I used in the introduction, so a reader who skipped to the end would still understand my argument. Then synthesize [KEY_POINTS], showing how they connect and build on each other rather than listing them again one by one. Synthesis means showing what the points add up to, not repeating what each one already said. Close with a so what: a broader implication, a real-world consequence, a call to action, or a final thought that extends past the essay's boundaries and answers the question of why any of this mattered.

Match the register to [ESSAY_TYPE]. An argumentative or persuasive conclusion can close on a call to action or a stake for the reader. A narrative or college application conclusion can close on a reflection or a shift in the writer's understanding, not a formal claim. An expository or general academic conclusion can close on an implication for further study or practice. Keep the conclusion the length I ask for in [LENGTH:select:short - 2-3 sentences,standard - one paragraph,extended - two paragraphs for a longer paper]. For the extended option, write two paragraphs: the first synthesizing the points, the second developing the broader implication, and carry a transition between them so they read as one closing movement, not two separate endings.

Do not open with "In conclusion," "To conclude," "In summary," or "To sum up." Do not paste the introduction back in with new transition words stapled to the front. Do not introduce a new argument, statistic, or piece of evidence I did not already give you in [KEY_POINTS] or [MAIN_ARGUMENT]. The conclusion extends the essay's existing case, it doesn't add a case of its own. Do not end on a hedge like "in my opinion" or "I think," and do not let the final sentence trail off without a clear stopping point.

Close with a two-question test I can run on the conclusion: does the last paragraph tell me anything I could not already get from skimming the introduction and topic sentences, and does the final sentence give me a real stopping point instead of trailing off.
