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

latex-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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/review_poster.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.

LaTeX Research Posters

Overview

Research posters are a critical medium for scientific communication at conferences, symposia, and academic events. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for creating professional, visually appealing research posters using LaTeX packages.

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating research posters for conferences, symposia, or poster sessions
  • Designing academic posters for university events or thesis defenses
  • Converting scientific papers into poster format
  • Creating template posters for research groups or departments

Compilation Convention

Always use latex to compile posters. Its pre-flight installs or verifies the fail-closed canonical .latexmkrc beside the poster driver. Build artifacts go to out/, and the requested PDF is copied back only after a successful build. Never hand-write a poster-specific rc file.


Core Capabilities

1. LaTeX Poster Packages

Three major packages, each with distinct advantages:

  • beamerposter — Extension of Beamer. Familiar syntax, excellent themes. Best for traditional academic posters and institutional branding.
  • tikzposter — Modern, flexible with TikZ integration. Built-in color themes. Best for colorful, modern designs.
  • baposter — Box-based layout with automatic spacing. Best for multi-column layouts.

Package guides: references/poster_packages_beamerposter.md (beamerposter & tikzposter) | references/poster_packages_baposter.md (baposter & selection guide)

2. Poster Layout and Structure

Common sections: Header/Title, Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions, References, Acknowledgments. Layout strategies include column-based grids, block-based arrangements, Z-pattern flow, and visual hierarchy.

Layout guides: references/poster_layout_grids.md (column grid systems) | references/poster_layout_flow.md (Z/F/Gutenberg patterns) | references/poster_layout_spatial.md (header, content, footer) | references/poster_layout_blocks.md (blocks, patterns & testing)
