  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by Dragoon0x on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Case Study Writing AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Dragoon0x/everything-design-taste/tree/main/skills/case-study-writing
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Dragoon0x/everything-design-taste.git /tmp/everything-design-taste
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/everything-design-taste/skills/case-study-writing .claude/skills/case-study-writing
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Case Study Writing in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Case Study Writing on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Case Study Writing is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Case Study Writing

Structure

The Honest Arc

  1. Context — Company, timeline, your role, team size. No fluff. Just facts.
  2. Problem — What was broken, missing, or failing. Be specific with metrics if you have them.
  3. Constraints — What made this hard. Budget, timeline, technical limits, organizational politics. Constraints make the story real.
  4. Process — What you actually did. Not a waterfall diagram. The real, messy process including dead ends.
  5. Key decisions — The 2-3 decisions that mattered most. What were the options? Why did you choose what you chose?
  6. What failed — What didn't work. What you tried and abandoned. This is where credibility lives.
  7. Outcome — Measurable results. Revenue, conversion, engagement, adoption, time saved. Numbers beat adjectives.
  8. Reflection — What you'd do differently. What you learned.

Common Mistakes

  • Starting with "I was tasked with..." (passive, boring)
  • Showing only the happy path (nobody believes it)
  • Screenshot galleries with no explanation
  • Process diagrams that describe methodology, not actual work
  • Focusing on deliverables instead of decisions
  • No metrics (words like "improved" and "enhanced" mean nothing alone)
  • Writing for other designers instead of the intended audience

Writing Quality

Lead with the Outcome

Don't make people read 2000 words to find out what happened. State the result upfront, then explain how you got there.

Bad opening: "In Q3 2024, the team identified an opportunity to improve the onboarding experience..."

Good opening: "We cut onboarding drop-off by 34% in six weeks. Here's the decision that made the difference."

Show Your Thinking

Screenshots of final designs are the least interesting part. Show:

  • The whiteboard sketch that unlocked the solution
  • The comparison of 3 approaches you considered
  • The data that changed your mind
  • The prototype that users rejected (and why)

Write for Your Audience

  • For hiring managers: emphasize process, collaboration, impact
  • For founders: emphasize speed, business outcomes, constraints handled
  • For peers: emphasize craft decisions, technical tradeoffs, methodology

Frequently asked questions

What does the Case Study Writing AI skill do?

Honest, structured case study writing that shows real impact. Not polished fiction. Includes failure documentation and strategic narrative.

Why use Case Study Writing on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Case Study Writing is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Case Study Writing in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Dragoon0x/everything-design-taste/tree/main/skills/case-study-writing. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Case Study Writing?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Case Study Writing?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Case Study Writing with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Case Study Writing AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Dragoon0x under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
