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 27d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (references/examples/build_poster_example.py, references/examples/make_charts_example.py, scripts/check_charts.py, …), 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 — 263 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

<references_contract>

References are mandatory, not optional

This skill ships 6 reference files plus two worked examples in references/examples/. Read the matching reference BEFORE the step that needs it, never afterwards to check your work.

  • references/data-integrity.md: reproduce the abstract from the source data (Phase 1)
  • references/venues.md: find and date the venue's rules; institution brand kits (Phases 0 and 2)
  • references/design-rules.md: readability floor, type scale, layout, house style (Phase 3)
  • references/build-and-charts.md: native charts, the repair trigger, python-pptx pitfalls (Phase 4)
  • references/rendering-qa.md: render, readability and overlap checks, QR codes (Phase 5)
  • references/citations.md: verify, format, hyperlink (Phase 2) </references_contract>

This skill encodes a workflow that was hardened in practice. Read the matching reference BEFORE the step that needs it, not afterwards to check your work (by then the mistake is in the output); 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.

<companion_skills> Everything this skill needs is bundled; the build, render, and check run on the scripts here alone. These optional skills add polish. Use any that are installed. If one is missing, carry on without it and mention the one-line install to the user once; never stop for it.

Skill Adds Install (in Claude Code)
Anthropic pptx + pdf (document-skills) editing an existing poster, hard PDFs /plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills, then /plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills

K-Dense scientific-visualization (MIT) journal-style matplotlib figures (image-chart route) same repo, skills/scientific-visualization

Leave out K-Dense pptx-posters (an HTML/CSS poster route that competes for the same requests) and scientific-writing (manuscript prose that bans the bullets a poster needs). Citation checks need no extra skill: web search and fetch against PubMed / Crossref / doi.org do the job. </companion_skills>

<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.

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.
