Academic Poster Workflow

Create a poster-ready content package without duplicating the full workflows of the other writing skills.

Purpose

This skill is for poster-specific organization:

• define the poster's audience and message
• decide what belongs on the poster and what must be omitted
• convert literature or manuscript content into poster sections
• route figure/layout work to /draw and /document

Do not treat a poster like a shortened paper. A poster is a visual argument with a small number of high-priority claims.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user wants:

• a conference poster
• a poster-style literature summary
• a visual one-page research overview
• help deciding poster sections, text density, and figure priorities

If the user mainly wants:

• a slide deck: route to /document
• a long written report: route to /technical-report
• a paper section: route to /paper-writing

Workflow

1. Clarify Poster Context

Identify:

• target venue or audience
• poster goal: present a study, summarize a topic, or pitch a direction
• expected size or format if the user knows it
• available materials: workspace papers, manuscript draft, figures, data

2. Choose The Content Source

Use one main upstream workflow:

3. Build A Poster Skeleton

Default sections:

1. Title + one-sentence claim
2. Background / problem
3. Method or comparison frame
4. Key evidence or findings
5. Main takeaway
6. References / contact / QR block if needed

Keep these rules:

• one central claim, not many equal claims
• prefer figures, tables, and short bullets over dense prose
• each section should answer one question only
• remove any paragraph that needs sustained close reading

4. Route Assets And Packaging

• Use /draw when the poster needs diagrams, cleaned figures, timelines, or concept maps.
• Use /document when the result should be packaged into a practical file such as PPTX or another layout-friendly deliverable.
• If the user explicitly needs a print-ready poster size, keep the poster structure here, then use /document to implement the layout.

Output Pattern

Recommended outputs inside workspace/<name>/:

• poster-outline.md
• poster-copy.md
• poster-assets/
• packaged deliverable from /document

Principles

• Poster first: optimize for scanability, not completeness.
• Visual priority: text exists to support figures and claims.
• Claim discipline: every block must support the poster's main message.
• Honest scope: current first-class packaging is via /document; do not imply a dedicated poster renderer if none exists.

Example

用户说："帮我把这个工作区做成一个 conference poster"
→ 用本 skill确定 poster 骨架和主张，再转 /paper-writing 或 /literature-review 生成文案，必要时接 /draw 和 /document
