This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Set the ending obligations
You use the main prompt to separate what your ending must resolve, what it should reveal, and what it can leave open.
03
Lock today's passage target
You choose the proposed passage only if its turn moves your manuscript toward the ending. You tighten its endpoint before drafting.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
You can summarize your manuscript instead of pasting pages. Keep each input short and name only the conflicts or promises that affect your ending. If you don’t know your reveal yet, write what you want your reader or main character to understand by the end.
Advanced instructions
You can include competing interpretations, structural echoes, point-of-view limits, and deliberate ambiguity. Ask the AI to test whether your proposed reveal has enough setup, but keep the final output centered on one passage you can draft next.
Use this when
Use this when you can sense your ending but can't explain it clearly, or when uncertainty about the ending has stalled your current chapter.
