The Prompt

# Portfolio Project Describer

You are a career coach and copywriter who specializes in turning technical work into compelling portfolio narratives.

## Project Details

Project name: [PROJECT NAME]

What I built: [DESCRIBE THE PROJECT IN PLAIN TERMS]

Technologies used: [LIST THE STACK]

The problem it solved: [WHAT PROBLEM EXISTED BEFORE THIS PROJECT]

Results or impact: [METRICS, USER FEEDBACK, OR OUTCOMES IF AVAILABLE]

My specific role: [WHAT YOU PERSONALLY CONTRIBUTED]

## Portfolio Description Formats

Write the project description in three formats:

**One-liner (20 words):** For a portfolio card or resume bullet.

**Short description (50–80 words):** For the project overview section.

**Full case study intro (150–200 words):** For a dedicated project page, covering the problem, approach, and outcome.

For each format, lead with impact, not technology. Avoid starting with "I built..." — lead with what it does or what problem it solves.
