PPTX Research Posters (HTML-Based)

Overview

⚠️ USE THIS SKILL ONLY WHEN USER EXPLICITLY REQUESTS PPTX/POWERPOINT POSTER FORMAT.

For standard research posters, use the latex-posters skill instead, which provides better typographic control and is the default for academic conferences.

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:

• Modern, responsive layouts
• Easy integration of AI-generated visuals
• Quick iteration and preview in browser
• Export to PDF via browser print function
• Conversion to PPTX if specifically needed

When to Use This Skill

ONLY use this skill when:

• User explicitly requests "PPTX poster", "PowerPoint poster", or "PPT poster"
• User specifically asks for HTML-based poster
• User needs to edit poster in PowerPoint after creation
• LaTeX is not available or user requests non-LaTeX solution

DO NOT use this skill when:

• User asks for a "poster" without specifying format → Use latex-posters
• User asks for "research poster" or "conference poster" → Use latex-posters
• User mentions LaTeX, tikzposter, beamerposter, or baposter → Use latex-posters

AI-Powered Visual Element Generation

STANDARD WORKFLOW: Generate ALL major visual elements using AI before creating the HTML poster.

This is the recommended approach for creating visually compelling posters:

1. Plan all visual elements needed (hero image, intro, methods, results, conclusions)
2. Generate each element using scientific-schematics or Nano Banana Pro
3. Assemble generated images in the HTML template
4. Add text content around the visuals

Target: 60-70% of poster area should be AI-generated visuals, 30-40% text.

CRITICAL: Poster-Size Font Requirements

⚠️ ALL text within AI-generated visualizations MUST be poster-readable.
