What it does

Generates a conference poster from a compiled paper, converting key content into a print-ready poster package (LaTeX-based PDF + editable PPTX + SVG) designed for conference poster sessions.

How it works

  • Targets a venue (default NeurIPS) and poster size (default A0) with landscape orientation and 4 content columns.
  • Extracts key content from the paper (not full text) to create a visual-first poster: 1 page, bullet points, figures dominant.
  • Builds using LaTeX with article class, geometry settings, and tcbposter-based card layouts; uses a fixed grid system with rows=20 for A0 landscape to position sections precisely.
  • Applies venue-specific color schemes (primary, secondary, accent) and enforces a 3-color system; includes a 4-card design system and a macro for figure spacing.
  • Persists state in poster/POSTER_STATE.json at each phase and supports resuming from in_progress status within 24h.
  • Uses a defined poster layout (IMRAD variants) with strict rules on row allocations, spacing, and font sizes to maintain readability at poster-session distance.

When to use it

Use when a user requests to create a conference poster or uses phrases like "做海报", "制作海报", "conference poster", "make poster", or equivalent signals indicating poster generation from a compiled paper.

What it can touch

  • OPERATES with the following files/directories: PAPER_DIR (default paper/), OUTPUT_DIR (poster/).
  • Relies on LaTeX toolchain: latexmk as COMPILER and pdflatex as ENGINE; uses article class and tcbposter-based styling.
  • Figures and content are included via standard LaTeX includegraphics and defined macros like \posterfig.

Caveats

  • The poster must avoid content overflow due to tcbposter grid: content exceeding a box is clipped without error.
  • Beamer class must not be used; only article class with specified geometry and tcolorbox setup is permitted.
  • Card backgrounds must be tinted; pure white cards are discouraged.
  • The workflow requires explicit user confirmation at checkpoints in AUTO_PROCEED mode (default false).

About this skill
What does the paper-poster skill do?

Generate a conference poster (article + tcbposter LaTeX → A0/A1 PDF + editable PPTX + SVG) from a compiled paper. Use when user says \"做海报\", \"制作海报\", \"conference poster\", \"make poster\", \"生成poster\", \"poster session\", or wants to create a poster for a conference presentation.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill paper-poster --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
