research-poster

research-poster is a skill for Claude Code from adamjali/research-poster-skill. It costs 166 tokens per session (2,586 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a research paper’s PDF abstract into an editable scientific conference poster in PowerPoint and PDF formats, with a preview.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a poster from study material, apply an existing visual style, add verified citations and honest charts, and review the rendered result.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unreadable layouts, unsupported charts, and incorrect citations by checking the poster after rendering.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

research-poster scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (references/examples/build_poster_example.py, references/examples/make_charts_example.py, scripts/detect_repair.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 187 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This skill encodes a workflow that was hardened in practice. Read the bundled references before the step that needs them; do not reinvent the parts that are already solved (chart-safety, rendering, typography scale). Scripts live in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/; worked examples and deep guidance live in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/. Rendering uses LibreOffice (cross-platform) or Microsoft PowerPoint on macOS; see references/rendering-qa.md.

<execution_context> Run interactively OR fully autonomously. Every gate below is an AskUserQuestion with a clearly marked recommended default, so an autonomous run just takes the defaults and states them.

  • 🟢 Auto (no ask): read inputs, research, extract house style, build, render, self-QA and iterate, git-init + commit in the poster's own working dir, clean up intermediates.
  • 🟡 Ask (with a recommended default): poster dimensions / venue spec, author + affiliation + logo confirmation, tone level, citation depth, chart engine (editable-native vs images), and whether the data is final.
  • 🔴 Never: fabricate any number, result, or citation; alter the study's reported findings; overwrite a file the user has already finalized (always write a separate copy); ship a file that triggers PowerPoint's repair prompt. </execution_context>
  1. Collect inputs: the abstract PDF (required); an optional reference poster (.pptx) for house style; optional logo files; any updated data.
  2. Reiterate what you understood, then batch the gates (one or two AskUserQuestion calls, each option marked with the recommended default). Recommended defaults in brackets:
    • Dimensions / venue: verify the venue's ePoster spec first [default]; else 16:9 single slide (48x27 in) which matches most on-screen ePoster viewers.
    • Authors, affiliations, and logos: confirm against the author, not the abstract's submission block (it is often not final). Multiple institutions means multiple logos [ask which].
    • Tone: moderate scholarly polish [default]; data and findings never change.
    • Citations: 4-6 verified references with clickable DOIs/URLs [default].
    • Chart engine: editable native charts [default]; polished images on request.
    • Is the data final, or is more coming? If ongoing, build so numbers are trivial to update (single data block) and keep the preliminary framing.
  3. Autonomous mode: take the defaults, state them, proceed.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
