SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning rough notes about a past project or achievement into a polished, portfolio-ready case study is hard: details get forgotten, reflections stay generic, and CV bullets end up vague. This Skill runs a structured interview loop that drafts a real file from the first round, tracks every open question in a Follow-up Questions checklist, and iterates until the case study is complete. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Interview-loop drafting: Writes a draft markdown file immediately, asks 3-5 targeted questions per round, and updates the file in place until no gaps remain. - Depth probing and reflection: Asks tool-specific questions (e.g. Import vs. DirectQuery for Power BI) and challenges specific decisions against their alternatives to produce meaningful reflection content. - Career-ready outputs: Generates a career timeline placement, experience-value and CV-relevance ratings, CV bullet points, a STAR interview story, sample interview Q&A, tags, and confidentiality screening for sensitive details. - Use Case: After delivering a client data-migration project, tell the Skill "let's write up this project" and it will interview you in small batches, link the entry to related case studies under the same engagement, and produce a finished case study file ready for a portfolio repo. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to turn your rough notes about a past project or achievement into a structured case study using the case-study skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn rough project notes into a case study?

Provide whatever notes you have, even a brain dump, and the Skill writes a draft markdown file immediately, then asks 3-5 targeted questions per round. It updates the file after each round until every section is filled, typically over 2-4 rounds.

How to write a STAR interview story from a past project?

The Skill derives the STAR story from facts already gathered during the interview: Situation and Task from context, Action from your specific decisions in first person, and Result from the outcome. It stays under roughly 150 words so it can be spoken in under a minute.

Can I document non-technical achievements like winning client work?

Yes, the Skill supports an Achievement type alongside Delivery for wins without a build narrative, such as selling follow-on work, renewals, or promotions. Achievement entries still get ratings, CV bullets, and a STAR story, with Tools & Technologies marked N/A.

Does the case study skill handle confidential client information?

Yes, before finalizing it screens notes for client names, internal metrics, and proprietary tool names, then asks whether to keep, generalize, or drop each item. If unsure, it defaults to generalizing, which is safer for public portfolio repos.

What are the limitations of the interview-loop approach?

The process requires multiple rounds of user answers, so it cannot produce a complete case study in one shot. It also never fabricates metrics or details, so sections the user cannot answer are marked Not specified rather than filled in.
