The Case Study Builder

Turns a finished client project into a portfolio-ready case study — story arc, before/after visuals, the part of the work that's actually proprietary.

What it does

When a freelancer or solo agency wraps a client project, this agent takes the project files, client communications, and final deliverables and builds a portfolio-ready case study. Structure: the client's situation before, the strategic thinking that drove the work, the deliverables themselves, and the measurable outcome. Surfaces the part of the work that's actually proprietary — the thinking, not just the artifact — so the case study sells you on insight, not execution.

The Manus prompt

Copy this prompt and paste it into Manus AI to run the agent.

When I tag a client project folder as "completed and ready for case study," ingest the brief, all client communications, project files, and final deliverables. Build a portfolio-ready case study with: client situation before (3 sentences), the strategic challenge (2-3 sentences), my approach with the proprietary thinking shown (5-6 sentences), the deliverables (with image embeds), measurable outcome (with the client's words quoted if available). Format as a Notion doc styled to my portfolio template. Save to my "Case Studies — Drafts" folder for my review.
