Example session with this skill installed
Write a UX case study for a fintech app redesign. I led the mobile checkout flow. We improved task completion from 40% to 85% in testing. Constraints: 3-week sprint, legacy API limits.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the design case study
- Generated the UI component
Processed the fintech redesign notes. The narrative focuses on the tension between legacy API latency and the need for a high-speed checkout experience.
Project Card
50% increase in task completion | Lead Product Designer | 1 PM, 2 Engineers | 3 Weeks | iOS/Android | Shipped
Executive Summary
Mobile checkout completion was stalled at 40% due to legacy API latency causing user drop-off. As Lead Designer, I audited the checkout flow and implemented an optimistic UI pattern to mask backend delays. Evaluative testing showed completion rates rose to 85%. This project demonstrates the ability to deliver high-performance UX within strict technical and time constraints.
Full Narrative
Context and stakes
The existing checkout required four distinct API calls before confirming a purchase. Users frequently abandoned the app during the 5-second "Processing" state, leading to a 40% completion rate.
My role and constraints
I led the end-to-end redesign of the mobile flow. We were restricted to a 3-week sprint and could not refactor the legacy backend, forcing a frontend-only solution to a performance problem.
Decisions and tradeoffs
We faced a choice: show a detailed loading state or use optimistic UI. While optimistic UI risks showing success before the server confirms, I chose to implement it for the "Add to Cart" and "Address Selection" steps to build momentum. I countered the risk by keeping the final "Place Order" button behind a high-contrast validation state.
Outcomes
- Evaluative Result: Prototype task completion increased from 40% to 85% in a 10-participant study.
- Operational Result: Reduced perceived latency by 3.2 seconds.
- Implementation: Successfully shipped to production within the 3-week window.
Visual Plan
| Placement | Artifact | Claim Proved | Caption |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero | Before/After Flow | Streamlined steps | Reducing the checkout journey from 5 screens to 3. |
| Mid-section | API Latency Diagram | Technical constraint | Mapping the 5-second delay that caused user drop-off. |
| Detail | Optimistic UI States | Design solution | Using skeleton screens to maintain user momentum during API calls. |
Next steps
- Review the Visual Plan to ensure you have screenshots of the optimistic UI states.
- Verify the 85% completion metric against your final research report.
- Prepare the 30-second "elevator pitch" for recruiters based on the Executive Summary.

What you get
About this skill
Hiring managers and design leads are tired of seeing the same generic process diaries. Most UX case studies focus on tools and frameworks rather than decisions and outcomes. This skill helps you audit your project evidence, extract the narrative spine, and write a high-impact case study that proves your specific contribution to a product's success.
What it does
- Audit evidence by mapping claims to specific artifacts, sources, and roles to ensure credibility.
- Identify tension to move beyond linear "process" and highlight real constraints, conflicts, and technical limits.
- Differentiate ownership by clearly separating individual contributions from team efforts and stakeholder decisions.
- Select proof by identifying which visuals (flows, wireframes, data) actually support a specific claim.
- Structure narratives across different formats, from executive summaries to detailed interview decks.
How it works
- Provide project materials such as rough notes, research findings, Figma links, or role descriptions.
- Review the evidence ledger generated to confirm which claims are supported and where gaps exist.
- Select a narrative spine based on the identified tension and pivotal decision.
- Generate the final case study including a project card, executive summary, narrative, and visual plan.
Frameworks & tools
This skill is framework-agnostic but follows industry standards for UX, UI, and Product Design portfolios. It works with inputs from Figma, Jira, research repositories, and raw project documentation.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often lead to "marketing fluff" and inflated claims like "best-in-class experience." This skill enforces a strict evidence-to-claim mapping that prevents hallucinated metrics and ensures your individual craft is visible to recruiters.
Use cases
- Portfolio building for designers needing to turn messy project notes into a structured web page.
- Interview preparation by creating a 5-minute verbal walkthrough focused on trade-offs.
- Seniority leveling by shifting the narrative from "doing tasks" to "making strategic decisions."
- Confidentiality handling by transforming sensitive data into honest, directional signals.
Known limitations
This skill will not invent research, metrics, or quotes. It requires the user to provide baseline evidence to function effectively.
