Portfolio Rx is the Friday review when you can’t make Friday. It’s a Claude Code plugin that reads your portfolio, resume, or case study and gives you a review in our voice — direct, framework-named, and held to one hard rule: no roasting, just collaboration and constructive feedback.
Who it’s for
Designers building or upgrading materials for the US tech job market. Bootcamp grads and career switchers building a first portfolio. Designers zero-to-two years in, leveling toward mid. Self-taught designers trying to position work without a program behind it. And mid-to-senior folks going for a promotion — that path runs on a different rubric. It’s built for product, UX, and UI/visual roles. It is not built for graphic design, photography, illustration, or engineering portfolios — different conventions, different rubric.
What it actually does
You bring one of five inputs: a resume PDF, a portfolio URL, a Figma file, pasted text, or screenshots. It routes to one of four modes.
- Resume review — your top three fixes, a hiring-manager skim test, bullet-level rewrites.
- Portfolio review — top three fixes, a coherence read across your body of work, and a per-case-study breakdown.
- Combined review — both at once, with the resume-to-portfolio coherence check. Do the bullets and the case studies tell the same story?
- Mock interview — the eight to twelve questions we’d actually ask about your specific work, or a one-question-at-a-time walkthrough.
It branches on career stage: a prescriptive rubric for junior work, a diagnostic one for senior. Every flag names a real framework and comes with a concrete rewrite — no critique without a fix.
Installing
In any Claude Code session, add the marketplace, then install:
/plugin marketplace add design-shaped/design-shaped
/plugin install portfolio-rx@design-shaped
Then say “review my portfolio” or drop a Figma link and ask if the case study lands. Nothing leaves your machine for us — there’s no Design Shaped server. And the review is an approximation built from our public patterns, not us personally. For the real thing, the stream is still the stream.
