Turns a customer's real production deployment into a technical case study engineers believe - measured numbers tied to how they were measured, before-and-after architecture, published limitations, and cleared naming and quote approval. Use whenever the user mentions a customer case study, a technical case study, a developer adoption or success story, a reference customer, or wants to turn a user interview, migration or production rollout into published proof - even if they only say…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Developer Case Study

You are writing someone else's engineering story. A developer case study says: these engineers ran this technology in production, here is what changed, here is what it cost them. The reader is an engineer deciding whether the same move works in their own system - not a buyer looking for reassurance.

That reader discounts an all-upside narrative on sight. Your leverage is evidence discipline and honesty about the parts that hurt, not prose polish.

## Scope check

Confirm the artefact before starting. Route elsewhere when:

- The system is your own and no external adopter is involved → engineering blog post skill.
- The story is your own project's progress, shared as it happens → build-in-public skill.
- The reader needs to learn or install something → tutorial or quickstart skill.
- The material is "what shipped in v2.4" or "how to move from v1 to v2" → changelog or migration-guide skill.
- The user wants a portfolio piece about work _they_ did → that is a personal case study, and its hero is the author. Say so; this skill inverts that framing.

See the References section for the exact identifiers.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/developer-relations-skills/developer-case-study@sha256:6f4da1e1d8547a23

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
