## Capabilities

- Creates HTML and CSS poster layouts for 36 by 48 inch or A0 formats.
- Uses a bundled poster template with header, columns, content blocks, and footer areas.
- Guides simple AI-generated visual planning with strict poster readability limits.
- Explains browser and headless Chrome workflows for exporting posters to PDF.
- Documents LibreOffice and python-pptx options for converting poster outputs to PPTX.
- Provides checklist-based review for readability, layout, image quality, and print readiness.

## Use Cases

- Prepare a PowerPoint-Editable Conference Poster: Turn a research outline, figures, and author details into an HTML poster that can be exported and edited in PowerPoint.
- Standardize Lab Poster Layouts: Use the template, sizing guidance, and quality checklist to keep posters consistent across a research group.
- Build a Draft Poster for Review: Convert early results into a readable poster draft with clear sections, large visual elements, and review checkpoints.

## Prompt Templates

### Start a PPTX Poster Draft

```
Create a PPTX research poster draft from this title, author list, section outline, and figure list. Use a 36 by 48 inch layout.
```

### Turn Notes Into Poster Sections

```
Organize these research notes into a PowerPoint-ready poster. Keep the total text under 800 words and identify the best visual for each section.
```

### Plan Poster Visuals Before Layout

```
Plan the main visuals for this PPTX poster. Limit each graphic to one message, three to four elements, and large readable labels.
```

### Complete Export and Quality Review

```
Create the HTML poster workflow, prepare PDF export steps, outline PPTX conversion, and apply the quality checklist before final delivery.
```

## Limitations

- Use it only when the user explicitly needs a PPTX or PowerPoint poster workflow.
- It is not the default option for standard academic posters that benefit from LaTeX typography.
- PDF and PPTX export depend on local tools such as a browser, LibreOffice, or python-pptx.
- It does not verify scientific claims, statistics, citations, or research ethics.

## Best Practices

- Confirm that the user needs PPTX or PowerPoint before using this skill.
- Plan simple visuals first, then build the poster around the main message.
- Run the quality checklist before export, especially readability and overflow checks.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not use this skill as the default for every research poster request.
- Do not cram full paper text, detailed protocols, or many small diagrams into one poster.
- Do not rely on third-party converters for confidential or unpublished research material.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-05T17:47:23.025\+00:00
- Summary: The static findings are dominated by CSS class names, Markdown fences, poster-design prose, and documented local commands, so those pattern matches are false positives. I found separate semantic issues: an embedded safety self-attestation, external platform promotion, and a third-party converter data exposure risk.
