Paper Poster: From Paper to Conference Poster

Generate a conference poster from: $ARGUMENTS

Context

This skill runs after Workflow 3 (/paper-writing). It takes a compiled paper and generates a print-ready poster for conference poster sessions. The poster extracts key content from the paper — it does not dump the full paper text onto a poster.

Unlike papers (dense prose, 8-15 pages), posters are visual-first: one page, 4 columns, bullet points only, figures dominant. A good poster tells the story in 60 seconds.

Constants

  • VENUE = NeurIPS — Target venue, determines color scheme. Supported: NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, ACL, EMNLP, CVPR, ECCV, GENERIC. Override via argument (e.g., /paper-poster "— venue: ICML").
  • POSTER_SIZE = A0 — Paper size. Options: A0 (841x1189mm, default), A1 (594x841mm).
  • ORIENTATION = landscape — Orientation. Options: landscape (default), portrait.
  • COLUMNS = 4 — Number of content columns. Typical: 4 for landscape A0 (IMRAD), 3 for portrait A0 (research consensus), 2 for portrait A1. Portrait A0 should NEVER use 4 columns — text becomes too narrow and unreadable.
  • PAPER_DIR = paper/ — Directory containing the compiled paper (main.tex + figures/).
  • OUTPUT_DIR = poster/ — Output directory for all poster files.
  • REVIEWER_MODEL = gpt-5.4 — Model used via Codex MCP for poster review.
