Write an Ending That Lands
Added 2026-11-01
Do not summarise; leave the reader with one thing to take away — an action, a judgement or a question.
This article needs an ending. Give three versions: 1) action — one thing the reader can do immediately; 2) judgement — compress the trade-off into one quotable line; 3) question — leave one question the reader will keep thinking about. No repetition of earlier text, no "in conclusion", three sentences maximum each, and say which version fits this reader and purpose best.

How to use
结尾的任务是让读者带走一样东西。
Try tweaking it
- Ask for three openings in different tones, then pick one.
- Replace "make it better" with concrete limits: length, reader, facts to keep.
What you should get
- A publishable draft, not an outline
- A short changelog: what changed and why
Common mistakes
- Letting it guess the facts, so plausible-looking sources get invented.
- Dumping the whole text with just "polish it" — the result still has no point.
How to check the output
- The conclusion comes first; deleting the opening paragraph does not break it.
- Every fact, number and quote traces back to the source text.
Where it works
- Good for: turning a rambling draft into a conclusion-first, shorter version.
- Watch out: keep sources and figures verbatim — do not let it invent citations.
