What it does

Poster Designer is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Generate professional poster design concepts and optimized image-generation prompts, then automatically run a drawing script to produce the final poster image when a user needs a poster.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `poster-designer_audit_result_v1.json`, `references/design_prompts.md` and `scripts/generate_image.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation and Generative and creative coding. It works with Python. 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

  • Tasks that involve Image generation
  • Tasks that involve Generative and creative coding

Example prompts

  • “/poster-designer”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in ZHIPUAI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Collect requirements (ask if missing)
  2. Analyze design elements (from references/design_prompts.md)
  3. Generate the final image prompt (from references/design_prompts.md)
  4. Run the script to generate the image (must be attempted)

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/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ZHIPUAI_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Poster Designer loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 579 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2k

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.

Poster Designer (Auto-Gen Edition)

This skill turns a user’s poster requirements into (1) structured design elements, (2) an optimized image-generation prompt, and (3) an automatically generated poster image by running a Python script.

It relies on the prompt templates in: references/design_prompts.md

When to Use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  1. Design a professional poster for an academic event, conference, or research announcement.
  2. Create a marketing poster for a product launch, promotion, or brand campaign.
  3. Generate a holiday/festival poster concept and produce the final image automatically.
  4. Produce multiple poster concepts quickly by changing style, palette, or layout constraints.
  5. Convert a text brief (title/body/call-to-action) into a visually consistent poster image.

Key Features

  • Requirements intake with missing-field detection and follow-up questions.
  • Design element analysis using a dedicated “Design Analysis Prompt”.
  • High-quality image prompt synthesis using an “Image Prompt Generation Prompt”.
  • Automatic image generation by executing a Python script with the generated prompt.
  • Style consistency enforcement (the prompt must match the requested style).
  • Optional asset placement guidance (logo/QR code) embedded into the prompt.

Dependencies

  • Python 3.10+
  • Python package: zhipuai (install via pip install zhipuai)
  • Environment variable: ZHIPUAI_API_KEY (required for image generation)
  • Prompt templates: references/design_prompts.md
  • Script: scripts/generate_image.py

Example Usage

1) Collect requirements (ask if missing)

User input example

  • Scenario/type: Product promotion
  • Style: Cyberpunk illustration
  • Title (optional): “NEON SALE”
  • Body text: “Up to 50% off smart wearables. This weekend only.”
  • Primary color: Neon magenta + deep blue
  • Layout preference (optional): Left-right split, bold title on left
  • Assets (optional): Brand logo top-left, QR code bottom-right

If any of the above fields are missing, ask targeted questions until you have enough to proceed.

2) Analyze design elements (from references/design_prompts.md)

Use the Design Analysis Prompt in references/design_prompts.md:

  • Fill the collected info into [Poster Design Requirements]
  • Generate:
    • Mandatory Modules
    • Recommended Layout
    • Style Details
3) Generate the final image prompt (from references/design_prompts.md)

Use the Image Prompt Generation Prompt in references/design_prompts.md:

  • Fill user info into [Basic Requirements]
  • Fill Step 2 output into [Design Elements]
  • Produce the optimized image-generation prompt string (the “generated_prompt”).
Show full SKILL.md (247 more words)Show less
4) Run the script to generate the image (must be attempted)

  1. Ensure ZHIPUAI_API_KEY is set.

    Windows PowerShell

    powershell
    $env:ZHIPUAI_API_KEY="your_key"

  2. Run:

    bash
    python scripts/generate_image.py "<generated_prompt>"

  3. On success, the script prints an output image path. Inform the user that the image is generated and provide the path.

  4. If the script fails (e.g., missing key), clearly instruct the user to set ZHIPUAI_API_KEY and rerun the command.

Implementation Details

Workflow (must follow)

  1. Requirements Collection

    • Required: scenario/type, style, body text, primary color
    • Optional: title, layout preference, assets (logo/QR code)
    • If any required field is missing, ask follow-up questions before continuing.

  2. Design Analysis

    • Use references/design_prompts.md → Design Analysis Prompt
    • Populate [Poster Design Requirements]
    • Output must include:
      • Mandatory Modules (e.g., title block, body copy block, CTA, brand area)
      • Recommended Layout (e.g., grid, symmetry, left-right split)
      • Style Details (e.g., typography, texture, lighting, composition cues)

  3. Image Prompt Generation

    • Use references/design_prompts.md → Image Prompt Generation Prompt
    • Combine:
      • [Basic Requirements] (user brief)
      • [Design Elements] (analysis output)
    • Enforce style consistency: the final prompt must strictly match the requested style and palette.

  4. Asset Placement Rules

    • If the user provides a logo/QR code, the prompt must explicitly specify placement (e.g., “logo at top-left”, “QR code at bottom-right”) and reserve visual space accordingly.

  5. Automatic Execution Requirement

    • After producing the final prompt, you must attempt to run scripts/generate_image.py with that prompt (not only return the prompt).
    • If execution cannot proceed due to missing configuration (e.g., ZHIPUAI_API_KEY), return actionable setup instructions and the exact command to rerun.
