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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/generate_schematic_ai.py, scripts/generate_schematic.py, 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. Generate publication-quality posters with proper layout, typography, color schemes, and visual hierarchy.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Creating research posters for conferences, symposia, or poster sessions
  • Designing academic posters for university events or thesis defenses
  • Preparing visual summaries of research for public engagement
  • Converting scientific papers into poster format
  • Creating template posters for research groups or departments
  • Designing posters that comply with specific conference size requirements (A0, A1, 36×48", etc.)
  • Building posters with complex multi-column layouts
  • Integrating figures, tables, equations, and citations in poster format

AI-Powered Visual Element Generation

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

This is the recommended approach for creating visually compelling posters:

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

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


Hard limits (do not exceed)

These are limits, not guidelines. Violating them is the single most common cause of a failed poster. Full reasoning, per-graphic-type tables, and worked examples are in references/ai_graphics_for_posters.md.

Constraint Limit
Elements per AI-generated graphic 3-4 maximum (3 ideal)
Words per graphic 10 maximum
White space per graphic 50% minimum (60% better)
Key numbers / metrics 120pt+
Labels 80pt+
Body text on the poster 24pt+
Content sections (A0) 5-6 maximum
Total words on the poster 300-800
Figure width 0.85\linewidth, never 1.0
