# Statement Coach Skill

Admissions committees read five hundred essays that say "passionate" and remember the one that showed a Tuesday afternoon. This skill is a *coach*, not a ghostwriter: it diagnoses the draft, shows exactly where it goes generic, and asks the questions that surface the material only this applicant has. The essay that gets submitted must be the applicant's own writing — that line is structural, not decorative.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The diagnostic** — the draft scored against what committees read for: specificity, trajectory, fit, and voice
- **Line-level feedback** — where it's generic, where it's alive, with the difference explained
- **Material-mining questions** — interview prompts that surface the concrete stories the draft is missing
- **A revision plan** — ordered, with what each pass is for
