paper2poster

Paper2Poster transforms academic papers into conference posters through a conductor-led workflow where you control figure placement and layout. Parse the PDF, decide which sections benefit from original figures versus text explanations, hand-author the poster HTML, then refine through visual assessment and content validation. The skill treats text-only sections as legitimate outcomes when figures don't add value.

Paper2Poster converts research paper PDFs into conference posters by letting you decide which sections need original figures versus text.

How does paper2poster convert a PDF paper to a conference poster?

Paper2Poster transforms academic papers into conference posters through a conductor-led workflow where you control figure placement and layout. You parse the PDF, decide which sections benefit from original figures versus text explanations, hand-author the poster HTML, then refine through visual assessment and content validation. The skill treats text-only sections as legitimate outcomes when figures don't add value.

Can paper2poster extract key content and figures from academic papers?

Yes. Paper2Poster extracts key content and figures from academic papers to design visually balanced poster layouts. The skill helps you identify which elements deserve prominence, strategically place figures for maximum impact, and organize text hierarchies that guide viewers through your research narrative.

What makes paper2poster different from other poster generators?

Paper2Poster emphasizes your control over design decisions rather than fully automated output. You hand-author poster HTML with custom visual hierarchy and responsive figure sizing for readability. The skill then iteratively refines your design through visual scoring, geometry validation, and content clarity checks—treating you as the decision-maker, not the tool.

Does paper2poster validate poster completeness before delivery?

Paper2Poster includes validation of poster completeness and content fidelity before final delivery to conference or review. This ensures your poster accurately represents your research, maintains visual balance, and meets presentation standards.

Can I turn a research paper into a visual poster automatically?

Paper2Poster automates the structural workflow—parsing PDFs, extracting figures, and generating layout templates—but keeps you in control of creative decisions. You decide figure placement, text emphasis, and visual hierarchy. The skill then validates your choices through geometry checks and content clarity assessment before final output.

What output formats does paper2poster produce?

Paper2Poster generates conference posters as hand-authored HTML with responsive figure sizing and custom visual hierarchy, plus PNG export for direct submission to conferences or review platforms. Both formats preserve your design choices and content fidelity.

Paper2Poster — Conference Poster Skill (You as Conductor)

Convert a paper PDF into an academic conference poster (HTML/PNG) by walking a small set of CLI scripts. You are the conductor: this file is the recipe, not an orchestrator. There is no run_pipeline.py — at each step you run one Bash command, read the intermediate artifact, and ask the user for confirmation at the decision points below.

```text PDF → parse_pdf.py (MinerU → content.md + figures/) → intake QA (you ask size/venue/authors/visual policy) → auto_outline.py (digest.json + assets[]) → choose visuals
