What it does
Latex Posters is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Creates academic-poster writing packages for LaTeX using beamerposter, tikzposter, or baposter. Use when a user needs poster-ready section copy, figure plans, captions, and package-specific layout decisions for conference or thesis posters.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/poster_quality_checklist.md`, `latex-posters_audit_result_v1.json` and `references/README.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX and Essays and academic help. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A user needs poster-ready section copy
- Package-specific layout decisions for conference
Example prompts
- “Use the latex-posters skill to create academic-poster writing packages for LaTeX using beamerposter, tikzposter, or baposter”
- “/latex-posters”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
5 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 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Latex Posters loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~25k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 618 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

LaTeX Academic Posters
This is an Academic Writing skill for turning research content into a poster-ready LaTeX brief. The core deliverable is not just layout advice, but a writing package that can be assembled directly in beamerposter, tikzposter, or baposter.
When to Use
- The user needs a conference, thesis-defense, or departmental research poster.
- The user wants help choosing between
beamerposter,tikzposter, andbaposter. - The user needs poster-ready section copy, figure plan, captions, and block ordering.
- The user wants to compress a paper, abstract, or slide deck into a readable poster narrative.
When Not to Use
- The user wants a PowerPoint-native workflow with no LaTeX output at all.
- The user wants to cram full manuscript detail onto one poster.
- The user asks for fake results, invented metrics, or nonexistent figures.
Core Deliverables
This skill should produce one or more of these outputs:
- Poster Brief poster size, audience, package choice, and section map
- Poster Copy Plan title, introduction, methods, results, conclusion, and acknowledgments text limits
- Figure Plan one-message-per-figure architecture, captions, and panel priorities
- LaTeX Assembly Guidance
package-specific layout choices using bundled assets in
assets/
Package Decision Matrix
- Use
tikzposterwhen the user wants modern flexible block design and portrait conference style. - Use
beamerposterwhen the user wants a classic academic appearance or already knows Beamer. - Use
baposterwhen the user needs a box-based multi-column layout and explicit panel control.
If the user does not specify a package:
- default to
tikzposterfor most modern research posters - switch to
beamerposterfor formal thesis-defense aesthetics - switch to
baposterwhen the content is block-heavy and highly modular
Writing Output Contract
Always provide:
- recommended package
- poster size / orientation
- section list in display order
- section-level word budget
- figure plan with one message per figure
- caption guidance
- final quality-control checklist
If the user asks for direct copy, provide concise poster-ready wording for:
- title
- one-sentence problem statement
- methods block
2-4results bullets- conclusion block
- optional QR / data / contact block
Hard Constraints
- A0 poster: usually
300-800words total - no more than
5-6major content blocks on one poster - one figure = one message
- avoid dense paragraphs
- body text must remain poster-readable
If the request violates these constraints, refuse the density request and propose a reduced architecture.
Show full SKILL.md (245 more words)Show less
Workflow
1. Collect poster context
Confirm:
- poster size and orientation
- audience
- source material type
- required figures or logos
- whether the user needs only a brief, or also section copy
2. Choose the package
Use ## Package Decision Matrix.
3. Compress the narrative
Convert the source into:
- one central message
- one methods summary
2-3strongest results- one clear conclusion
Do not preserve every subsection from the manuscript.
4. Plan the figures
For each figure:
- define one message only
- keep labels minimal
- assign where it belongs in the poster flow
- define whether it needs a caption or only a headline
5. Assemble the writing package
Return:
- poster brief
- section order
- section copy limits
- figure plan
- LaTeX asset recommendation from
assets/
Refusal and Recovery Contract
If the user asks for an unreadable or off-scope poster, respond with:
Cannot produce a readable poster plan as requested.
Reason: <too much content / unsupported non-LaTeX workflow / missing source information>
Suggested recovery:
- <step 1>
- <step 2>Use this when:
- the user wants tiny-font dense content
- the user wants a non-LaTeX-native deliverable
- the source is too incomplete to plan poster copy
Asset Usage
Bundled assets:
assets/beamerposter_template.texassets/tikzposter_template.texassets/baposter_template.texassets/poster_quality_checklist.md
Use these assets as the implementation anchor. Do not reference nonexistent local scripts.
Academic Writing Rules
- keep the tone neutral and conference-appropriate
- prefer short declarative statements over abstract-like paragraphs
- results language must stay grounded in source evidence
- captions should interpret the figure's role, not repeat every numeric detail
Final Quality Checklist
Before returning:
- package choice is explicit
- section order is clear
- word budget is realistic
- figure plan is readable
- no fake script requirement appears
- no impossible density request is accepted
