Paper2Poster is a multi-agent system that turns scientific papers into editable academic posters. It is used to automate poster content and layout generation from papers, and its included skill helps coding agents such as Codex or Claude prepare poster-ready material.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00080 | $0.00929 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00372 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00186 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00093 |
Grade A, and why
paper2poster-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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Paper2Poster Poster
Use this skill when the goal is to turn a paper into a readable, credible, poster-ready package instead of a long prose summary.
Core behavior
Work from the source paper first. Prefer grounded extraction over creative rewriting.
Do not invent:
- metrics that do not appear in the paper
- figure content you have not seen
- ablation claims that are not supported
- author affiliations, funding, or venue details unless supplied
If key information is missing, say so explicitly and continue with labeled assumptions.
Default workflow
- Gather inputs.
Collect the paper source plus any constraints that are already available:
paper.pdf, arXiv link, markdown draft, or pasted paper text- venue, audience, poster dimensions, branding, deadline
- whether the user wants poster copy only or also Paper2Poster execution assets
If the user gave no dimensions, use the defaults in references/poster-defaults.md.
- Choose the output mode.
- Draft mode: produce poster copy, layout guidance, figure recommendations, and a concise runbook.
- Execution mode: additionally prepare a
poster.yamldraft, a Paper2Poster folder layout, and the exact command the user can run.
- Extract poster-worthy content from the paper.
Capture:
- title and subtitle candidate
- one-sentence paper claim
- problem and motivation
- method overview
- core figures, tables, and diagrams worth featuring
- strongest quantitative results
- limitations, deployment notes, or future work if they matter
- Compress for poster reading.
Rewrite for scanability:
- short headers
- bullets over paragraphs
- one idea per bullet
- clear result statements with units and baselines when available
- captions that can stand alone
- Build the poster package.
Unless the user asks for a different structure, produce:
poster_brief.md: audience, poster goal, assumptions, content prioritiesposter_copy.md: final section copy ready for layoutposter_layout.md: panel plan, figure placement, hierarchy, and visual notesposter_runbook.md: exact next steps for Paper2Poster or manual assembly
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

paper2poster-poster is a skill published in the GitHub repository Paper2Poster/Paper2Poster (4,005 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 929 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
