| description | Create computer science research posters in LaTeX for conferences, thesis defenses, demos, and lab presentations. Use when converting a CS paper, benchmark result, system design, or project summary into a poster with strong layout, readable figures, and concise technical messaging. |
LaTeX Posters
Use this skill for CS poster workflows. Optimize for architecture diagrams, benchmark highlights, readable tables, and fast comprehension in a noisy conference setting.
Poster Types
Handle cases such as:
- conference poster based on a paper submission
- lab or department poster for ongoing work
- thesis or defense poster
- demo poster for systems, agents, or tools
- recruitment or project-overview poster for a research group
Content Strategy
A strong CS poster usually prioritizes:
- problem and why it matters
- core method or system architecture
- benchmark setup or experimental protocol
- 1 to 3 key result panels
- limitations or deployment considerations
- QR code or repo / paper link
Do not paste paragraph-heavy paper text into a poster. Compress aggressively.
Local Assets
Use the existing templates when they help:
assets/beamerposter_template.texassets/tikzposter_template.texassets/baposter_template.texassets/poster_quality_checklist.md
Read references selectively:
references/poster_content_guide.mdreferences/poster_design_principles.mdreferences/poster_layout_design.mdreferences/latex_poster_packages.md
If a shell review is useful, use scripts/review_poster.sh.
CS-Specific Review Checklist
Check that:
- the title states the technical problem clearly
- the method or system diagram is legible from distance
- result panels show the main comparison immediately
- figure captions carry the takeaway, not just labels
- code, dataset, or paper links are easy to find
Default Output
When the user asks for poster help without specifying format, return:
- a poster outline
- a template recommendation
- section-level content priorities
- layout and readability risks
