What problem does it solve?
Academic posters frequently suffer from inconsistent visual design, missing or low-quality paper figures, and layout defects that only become visible after printing. This skill prevents those failures by enforcing measurement-driven hard gates, a strict two-hue design token system, and real figure provenance before any poster is finalized.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Measurement-Gated Pipeline: Runs preflight, style, asset, measure, and polish gates in canonical order to catch structural, color, and layout bugs before they reach print.
- Real Paper Figures: Extracts and validates figures directly from the source PDF with SHA-256 provenance, ensuring every image is genuinely from the paper and rendered at sufficient resolution.
- Design Token Discipline: Enforces a closed two-hue palette (accent + gold) with a 9-step font-size scale, preventing the "patched dashboard" failure mode of 30+ colors and inline styles.
- Cross-Model Review Loop: Uses Claude visual scoring and codex final review with a closed fix vocabulary to iterate safely without introducing new claims or decorative elements.
Quick Start
