Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00066 | $0.03587 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00033 | $0.01793 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00717 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00359 |
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 11d ago.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to pptx-posters — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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:
- Plan all visual elements needed (hero image, intro, methods, results, conclusions)
- Generate each element using scientific-schematics or Nano Banana Pro
- Assemble generated images in the HTML template
- 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.

Other skills, from other repositories
academic-research
Nested swiss-knife reference for academic literature work — find papers, fetch full-text PDFs, trace citations, write LaTeX manuscripts. First action for any "get me this paper" request: python3 /scripts/fetchpaper.py — walks arXiv → Unpaywall → Europe PMC → CORE → in-house publisher-page extraction…
sync-submission
Audit SSOT-to-submission drift and create journal submission manifests from canonical manuscript artifacts.
latex-compile
Compile a LaTeX document and fix every error plus aesthetic issue (overfull/underfull boxes, widows, alignment, fonts) for a clean PDF and log. Use this instead of running pdflatex/latexmk manually — it avoids the latexmk stale-log trap and silent grep failures on binary log output, and it reformats rather than…
figure-duplicate-audit
A review of scientific figure images for duplicated, reused, altered, or uninformative panels. Scientific figures are the charts, photographs, and image panels included in research papers.
overleaf
Sync and manage Overleaf LaTeX projects from the command line. Pull projects locally, push changes back, compile PDFs, and download compile outputs like .bbl files for arXiv submissions. Use when working with LaTeX, Overleaf, academic papers, or arXiv.
figure-drawing
MANDATORY skill for creating any figure, diagram, chart, table visualization, or TikZ graphic in a paper. Must be activated BEFORE writing any drawing code. Produces standalone .tex → compiled PDF/PNG → \includegraphics in paper. Never inline TikZ code directly into paper sections.
