LaTeX Research Posters

Builds conference-ready research posters in beamerposter, tikzposter, or baposter — from layout to print-ready PDF.

What it does

  • Picks the right poster package (beamerposter, tikzposter, baposter) and generates LaTeX source sized for A0, 36×48", portrait or landscape.
  • Handles multi-column grids, typographic hierarchy, accessible color schemes, figure/logo placement, and QR codes.
  • Enforces hard limits — 3-4 elements per graphic, ≤10 words per graphic, ≥50% white space, 24pt+ body text, 300-800 total words — plus two mandatory review gates before generating and before assembling figures.
  • Runs post-compile QC: grep -i overfull poster.log, 100% edge inspection, font embedding, resolution, and print/PDF-X preparation.

Who it's for

  • Grad students and researchers preparing conference poster sessions or thesis defenses
  • Anyone compressing a paper into a single poster
  • Labs and departments building a reusable poster template
  • Users comfortable installing a LaTeX distribution (TeX Live / MiKTeX)

Examples

  1. "Turn this paper into a 3-column portrait A0 tikzposter" → picks 1-3 core messages, outlines sections, emits a template.
  2. "Make a 4-step methods flowchart for the poster" → generates a poster-scale schematic with giant labels and 50% white space, then inserts it with \includegraphics.
  3. "Pre-print check" → scans for overfull boxes, inspects all four edges at 100%, verifies embedded fonts and export format.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/latex-posters folder from the GitHub repo K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/latex-posters/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git /tmp/sas && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/sas/skills/latex-posters ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  3. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git /tmp/sas
  4. Copy just this skill: cp -r /tmp/sas/skills/latex-posters ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Install LaTeX if needed (TeX Live or MiKTeX), then: tlmgr install beamerposter tikzposter baposter qrcode xcolor tcolorbox subcaption
  6. For the AI-figure workflow, also copy the scientific-schematics skill and optionally set OPENROUTER_API_KEY.
  7. Restart Claude Code and ask something like "build a conference poster from this paper".
