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

pptx-posters 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/generate_schematic_ai.py, scripts/generate_schematic.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.

PPTX Research Posters (HTML-Based)

Overview

⚠️ USE THIS SKILL ONLY WHEN USER EXPLICITLY REQUESTS PPTX/POWERPOINT POSTER FORMAT.

For standard research posters, use the latex-posters skill instead, which provides better typographic control and is the default for academic conferences.

This skill creates research posters using HTML/CSS, which can then be exported to PDF or converted to PowerPoint format. The web-based approach offers:

  • Modern, responsive layouts
  • Easy integration of AI-generated visuals
  • Quick iteration and preview in browser
  • Export to PDF via browser print function
  • Conversion to PPTX if specifically needed

When to Use This Skill

ONLY use this skill when:

  • User explicitly requests "PPTX poster", "PowerPoint poster", or "PPT poster"
  • User specifically asks for HTML-based poster
  • User needs to edit poster in PowerPoint after creation
  • LaTeX is not available or user requests non-LaTeX solution

DO NOT use this skill when:

  • User asks for a "poster" without specifying format → Use latex-posters
  • User asks for "research poster" or "conference poster" → Use latex-posters
  • User mentions LaTeX, tikzposter, beamerposter, or baposter → Use latex-posters

AI-Powered Visual Element Generation

STANDARD WORKFLOW: Generate ALL major visual elements using AI before creating the HTML poster.

This is the recommended approach for creating visually compelling posters:

  1. Plan all visual elements needed (hero image, intro, methods, results, conclusions)
  2. Generate each element using scientific-schematics or Nano Banana Pro
  3. Assemble generated images in the HTML template
  4. Add text content around the visuals

Target: 60-70% of poster area should be AI-generated visuals, 30-40% text.


CRITICAL: Poster-Size Font Requirements

⚠️ ALL text within AI-generated visualizations MUST be poster-readable.

When generating graphics for posters, you MUST include font size specifications in EVERY prompt. Poster graphics are viewed from 4-6 feet away, so text must be LARGE.

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.
