Claude expands a project into a case study with six parts: Overview, Problem, Process, Solution, Results and Learnings. SKILL.md gives guidance per part, focus points for four roles (product manager, UX or product designer, software engineer, marketing), tips for images, an output template and a 10-item quality checklist.

It loads when you mention case studies, portfolio pieces, project write-ups or work samples. The folder holds a single SKILL.md and no scripts. The numbers in its examples (a checkout redesign with 35% less cart abandonment) are samples, not data about you.

Good for

  • Job seekers building a portfolio site from past project work
  • Designers, product managers and engineers who need case studies for interviews
  • Anyone expanding a one-line resume bullet into a full write-up

Install portfolio-case-study-writer

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Install the portfolio-case-study-writer skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

npx skills add https://github.com/Paramchoudhary/ResumeSkills --skill portfolio-case-study-writer

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Node.js.

Pick one route. The README command installs every skill in the ResumeSkills repo (the README says 20, the repo tree has 22 skill folders); the other routes install only portfolio-case-study-writer. The repo has no plugin marketplace file. The folder is one markdown file, so the Claude app upload route works too.

Built from the package data we hold. Not yet tested by us.

Questions

What does the portfolio-case-study-writer skill do?

It makes Claude expand resume bullets or project notes into a portfolio case study. The structure is Overview, Problem, Process, Solution, Results and Learnings, with an output template and a quality checklist.

How do I install it?

Use the install box at the top of this page. The README documents a skills CLI command that installs the whole ResumeSkills set, and the box also has a command for this skill alone.

Does it work in the Claude app?

The install box has a Claude app upload route for the skill folder. The folder is a single markdown file with no scripts.

Does it need an API key?

SKILL.md names no API key and the folder bundles no scripts.

Will it invent results for me?

The checklist asks for quantified results and honest learnings, and the examples use sample numbers. Our advice: give Claude your real metrics and do not publish figures you cannot back up in an interview.

Is it safe?

The folder bundles no scripts. Your project details go to whichever model you use, so remove confidential employer data first. SKILL.md itself suggests blurring sensitive data in images.

Do I need the other ResumeSkills skills?

No. SKILL.md does not call other skills. The README lists the whole collection, and its description of this skill is "Transform resume bullets into detailed portfolio case studies".

Which assistants does it work with?

The README lists Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Codex and Gemini CLI, plus 30+ more agents.
