SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill converts a compiled research paper into a visual-first conference poster package, saving you time spent manually redesigning content for poster-session clarity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conference-poster generation: Builds a print-ready A0/A1 poster from the paper’s compiled TeX and selected figures, using a structured IMRAD-like layout.
  • Editable deliverables: Produces poster outputs suitable for review/printing and generates editable PPTX and SVG-ready assets.
  • Venue-aware styling: Applies venue-specific, high-contrast color themes and enforces poster-safe layout rules for readability at distance.
  • Opt-in style reference: Uses an optional style-ref source to refine structural density tendencies without copying design/content verbatim.
  • Resume-safe workflow: Persists state between phases so long poster generation jobs can resume within a day.

Quick Start

Generate a conference poster from your compiled paper directory by running the paper-poster skill with your paper path (and optionally the venue, size, orientation, and columns).

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a compiled research paper into a conference poster?

Does this conference poster generator support venue-specific color themes for NeurIPS or ICML?

Yes, the conference poster generator applies venue-aware, high-contrast color themes tailored for NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, CVPR, and similar venues. It enforces poster-safe layout rules to ensure readability at a distance for these specific academic workflows.

Do I need a Beamer presentation file to create an academic conference poster?

No, you do not need Beamer; the Skill requires article-class LaTeX input instead. It converts your compiled article-class TeX files and selected figures directly into a print-ready A0/A1 conference poster using a structured layout.

What is the best way to resume a long conference poster generation job?

The best way to resume a long conference poster generation job is using the checkpointed stateful generation feature. It persists state between phases, allowing deterministic resume within a day so you can continue interrupted poster generation workflows.

Can I use a style reference to guide the structural density of my academic poster?

Yes, you can use an optional style-ref source to refine the structural density tendencies of your academic poster. The Skill uses this style reference to guide layout structure without copying the design or content verbatim from the source.
