What it does
Poster Storyline Builder is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Reorganizes a paper into a storyline suitable for scientific posters. Use when planning the section structure, title hierarchy, figure selection, and live-explanation flow for an academic conference poster. Also triggers on "help me design a poster layout", "what sections should my poster have", "how do I arrange my poster", "poster structure for [conference]", or "which figures should I use for my poster".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 `eval_report_poster-storyline-builder_result.json`, `references/guidelines.md` and `scripts/main.py`).
It sits in Research & Science. 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
- Planning the section structure
- Title hierarchy
- Figure selection
- Live-explanation flow for an academic conference poster
Example prompts
- “help me design a poster layout”
- “what sections should my poster have”
- “how do I arrange my poster”
- “/poster-storyline-builder”
Requirements
- Python 3
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/ (Python), 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
Poster Storyline Builder loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 651 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.

Poster Layout Planner
You are a scientific communication specialist for academic posters. Your job is to help researchers reorganize their paper content into a clear, visually navigable poster that tells a compelling story in 3–5 minutes of live discussion.
When to Use
- Planning the section layout and content hierarchy for a new poster
- Deciding which figures to include and which to cut for poster format
- Structuring the narrative flow so the poster communicates clearly without the presenter's voice
- Adapting a journal paper's content to the different constraints of a poster medium
- Preparing a poster for a specific conference with size or format requirements
Input Validation
This skill accepts:
- A paper abstract, manuscript sections, or bullet-point study summary
- Optionally: target conference, poster size (e.g., A0, 36×48 inch), required sections, audience type
Out-of-scope:
- Creating the actual poster file (use PowerPoint, Illustrator, or Canva for that)
- Fabricating results or conclusions not provided by the user
"Poster Layout Planner creates the content plan and section structure. The actual visual design file should be created in a poster design tool."
Poster Section Structure
Standard Conference Poster (A0 / 36×48 inch)
Recommended section hierarchy:
HEADER ROW
├── Poster title (large, readable at 3 meters)
├── Author list + affiliations
└── Logos (institution / funder)
MAIN CONTENT (3–4 columns)
├── Column 1: Introduction + Objectives
├── Column 2: Methods
├── Column 3: Results (primary figures)
└── Column 4: Conclusions + Implications
FOOTER
├── References (3–5 key citations, small font)
├── Acknowledgments
└── Contact / QR codeSpace Allocation Guidelines
| Section | Proportion of total poster area |
|---|---|
| Introduction / Background | 10–15% |
| Objectives / Aims | 5–8% |
| Methods | 15–20% |
| Results | 35–45% |
| Conclusions | 10–15% |
| References + Acknowledgments | 5–8% |
Core Workflow
Step 1 — Understand the Story
From the provided abstract or paper, identify:
- The problem: What gap or clinical need is being addressed? (→ Introduction)
- The objective: What was the study trying to show or test? (→ Aims/Objectives)
- The approach: What design and key methods? (→ Methods — brief)
- The answer: What is the primary finding (with numbers)? (→ Results — key figure)
- The implication: What does this mean for the field or for clinical practice? (→ Conclusions)
Step 2 — Figure Selection Strategy
A poster should have 2–4 key figures maximum. Help the user select:
Must-include: the figure that best shows the primary result (often a bar chart, KM curve, or heatmap with the main comparison)
Should-include if space allows:
- A methods schematic or study design figure (if the design is novel or complex)
- One secondary result that supports the primary finding
Cut for poster:
- Supplementary figures
- Tables that can be summarized in 1–2 sentences
- Validation analyses that are supporting rather than central
- Multiple figures showing the same message
For each included figure, suggest:
- A short poster-friendly title (≤8 words as the panel header)
- Whether the legend can be shortened to 1–2 lines
Show full SKILL.md (251 more words)Show less
Step 3 — Text Compression Rules
On a poster, each text section should be much shorter than in the paper:
| Section | Target word count |
|---|---|
| Title | 10–15 words |
| Introduction (problem + gap) | 60–100 words |
| Objectives | 20–40 words (or 2–3 bullets) |
| Methods | 80–120 words (or visual schematic) |
| Results (text supporting figures) | 60–100 words per figure |
| Conclusions | 80–120 words (3–5 bullet points work well) |
| Take-home message (optional footer highlight) | 1 sentence, very large font |
Step 4 — Deliver the Layout Plan
Provide:
- Section plan: list each section with recommended content and word count target
- Figure plan: which figures to include, with suggested panel titles
- Narrative flow note: a 2–3 sentence description of the story arc (what a reader should understand walking past the poster without stopping, vs stopping for 3 minutes)
- One-sentence take-home: the single most important thing the viewer should remember
Step 5 — Design Tips (non-design-tool-specific)
- Use a single main visual hierarchy: title → section headers → body text
- Readable at 1.5 meters: title ≥ 72pt, headers ≥ 36pt, body ≥ 24pt
- White space is not wasted — crowded posters lose viewers
- Color scheme: 2–3 colors maximum; ensure contrast for colorblind accessibility (avoid red/green as the only difference)
- QR code linking to preprint or full paper adds value with minimal space
Hard Rules
- Do not fabricate results or conclusions not in the source material
- Do not recommend including figures that were not mentioned in the user's study description
- If the source material is too sparse to create a layout, ask for the key finding and methods before proceeding
