What it does

Paper Poster is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Generate a conference poster (article + tcbposter LaTeX → A0/A1 PDF + editable PPTX + SVG) from a compiled paper. Use when user says "做海报", "制作海报", "conference poster", "make poster", "生成poster", "poster session", or wants to create a poster for a conference presentation.

Its SKILL.md is about 12k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX and PowerPoint presentations. It works with LaTeX and Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.

When your agent uses it

Example prompts

“conference poster”
“make poster”
“生成poster”
“/paper-poster”

Requirements

Python 3
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Agent, mcp__codex__codex, mcp__codex__codex-reply

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7132192. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash(*)
- Read
- Write
- Edit
- Grep
- Glob
- Agent
- mcp__codex__codex
- mcp__codex__codex-reply
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
- brew
- pip
- curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- mirror.ctan.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Paper Poster loads about 12k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,716 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~12k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
