What problem does it solve?
It streamlines the time-consuming process of converting a compiled research paper into a print-ready conference poster with poster-appropriate layout, figure selection, and LaTeX generation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Conference-poster generation: Builds an A0/A1 article-class poster using tcbposter (not beamer) to avoid common LaTeX capacity issues.
- Paper-to-poster content extraction: Extracts only poster-relevant portions from paper sections and organizes them into a structured content plan and LaTeX layout.
- Figure handling for editability: Copies selected figures, converts PDF figures to PNG for embedding (e.g., for PPTX workflows), and keeps poster figures consistent.
- Venue-aware styling: Applies configurable venue color schemes and enforces readable grid/typography constraints for poster-distance viewing.
- Resume-capable workflow: Persists progress in poster/POSTER_STATE.json so long poster builds can resume within 24 hours.
Quick Start
Use the paper-poster skill to generate a poster from your compiled paper in the paper/ directory by running it in the repository and then confirming the first content-plan checkpoint it produces.
