1	# PPTX Research Posters (HTML-Based)
2
3	## Overview
4
5	⚠️ USE THIS SKILL ONLY WHEN USER EXPLICITLY REQUESTS PPTX/POWERPOINT POSTER FORMAT.
6
7	For standard research posters, use the latex-posters skill instead, which provides better typographic control and is the default for academic conferences.
8
9	This skill creates research posters using HTML/CSS, which can then be exported to PDF or converted to PowerPoint format. The web-based approach offers:
10	- Modern, responsive layouts
11	- Easy integration of AI-generated visuals
12	- Quick iteration and preview in browser
13	- Export to PDF via browser print function
14	- Conversion to PPTX if specifically needed
15
16	## When to Use This Skill
17
18	ONLY use this skill when:
19	- User explicitly requests "PPTX poster", "PowerPoint poster", or "PPT poster"
20	- User specifically asks for HTML-based poster
21	- User needs to edit poster in PowerPoint after creation
22	- LaTeX is not available or user requests non-LaTeX solution
23
24	DO NOT use this skill when:
25	- User asks for a "poster" without specifying format → Use latex-posters
26	- User asks for "research poster" or "conference poster" → Use latex-posters
27	- User mentions LaTeX, tikzposter, beamerposter, or baposter → Use latex-posters
28
29	## AI-Powered Visual Element Generation
30
31	STANDARD WORKFLOW: Generate ALL major visual elements using AI before creating the HTML poster.
32
33	This is the recommended approach for creating visually compelling posters:
34	1. Plan all visual elements needed (hero image, intro, methods, results, conclusions)
35	2. Generate each element using scientific-schematics or Nano Banana Pro
36	3. Assemble generated images in the HTML template
37	4. Add text content around the visuals
38
39	Target: 60-70% of poster area should be AI-generated visuals, 30-40% text.
40
41	---
42
43	### CRITICAL: Poster-Size Font Requirements
44
45	⚠️ ALL text within AI-generated visualizations MUST be poster-readable.
46
47	When generating graphics for posters, you MUST include font size specifications in EVERY prompt. Poster graphics are viewed from 4-6 feet away, so text must be LARGE.
48
49	MANDATORY prompt requirements for EVERY poster graphic:
50
51	```
52	POSTER FORMAT REQUIREMENTS (STRICTLY ENFORCE):
53	- ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM 3-4 elements per graphic (3 is ideal)
54	- ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM 10 words total in the entire graphic
55	- NO complex workflows with 5+ steps (split into 2-3 simple graphics instead)
56	- NO multi-level nested diagrams (flatten to single level)
57	- NO case studies with multiple sub-sections (one key point per case)
58	- ALL text GIANT BOLD (80pt+ for labels, 120pt+ for key numbers)
59	- High contrast ONLY (dark on white OR white on dark, NO gradients with text)
60	- MANDATORY 50% white space minimum (half the graphic should be empty)
61	- Thick lines only (5px+ minimum), large icons (200px+ minimum)
62	- ONE SINGLE MESSAGE per graphic (not 3 related messages)
63	```
64
65	⚠️ BEFORE GENERATING: Review your prompt and count elements
66	- If your description has 5+ items → STOP. Split into multiple graphics
67	- If your workflow has 5+ stages → STOP. Show only 3-4 high-level steps
68	- If your comparison has 4+ methods → STOP. Show only top 3 or Our vs Best Baseline
69
70	Example - WRONG (7-stage workflow):
71	```bash
72	# ❌ Creates tiny unreadable text
73	python scripts/generate_schematic.py "Drug discovery workflow: Stage 1 Target ID, Stage 2 Synthesis, Stage 3 Screening, Stage 4 Lead Opt, Stage 5 Validation, Stage 6 Clinical Trial, Stage 7 FDA Approval with metrics." -o figures/workflow.png
74	```
75
76	Example - CORRECT (3 mega-stages):
77	```bash
78	# ✅ Same content, simplified to readable poster format
79	python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. ULTRA-SIMPLE 3-box workflow: 'DISCOVER' → 'VALIDATE' → 'APPROVE'. Each word in GIANT bold (120pt+). Thick arrows (10px). 60% white space. ONLY these 3 words. NO substeps. Readable from 12 feet." -o figures/workflow_simple.png
80	```
81
82	---
83
84	### CRITICAL: Preventing Content Overflow
85
86	⚠️ POSTERS MUST NOT HAVE TEXT OR CONTENT CUT OFF AT EDGES.
87
88	Prevention Rules:
89
90	1. Limit Content Sections (MAXIMUM 5-6 sections):
91	```
92	✅ GOOD - 5 sections with room to breathe:
93	- Title/Header
94	- Introduction/Problem
95	- Methods
96	- Results (1-2 key findings)
97	- Conclusions
98
99	❌ BAD - 8+ sections crammed together
100	```
101
102	2. Word Count Limits:
103	- Per section: 50-100 words maximum
104	- Total poster: 300-800 words MAXIMUM
105	- If you have more content: Cut it or make a handout
106
107	---
108
109	## Core Capabilities
110
111	### 1. HTML/CSS Poster Design
112
113	The HTML template (`assets/poster_html_template.html`) provides:
114	- Fixed poster dime
