paper-poster — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
This deprecated skill redirects requests to /paper-poster-html. It preserves the old entry point, but should not be used for new posters.
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-poster -a claude-codeWhat paper-poster does
paper-poster no longer runs the poster-generation process it once described. When it is invoked, the request should move to /paper-poster-html, with every argument passed through unchanged. The old LaTeX and tcbposter flow has been replaced by an HTML/CSS pipeline with checks for poster dimensions and print output.
The skill allows only the Read tool and accepts a paper directory or PDF as [paper-dir-or-pdf]. Its former flow allowed an unbounded color palette, did not use real figures from the paper, and skipped print-canvas verification. Because this skill is marked deprecated, that is a clear reason to check the /paper-poster-html path before starting a new poster.
What it helps with
- redirect a request to
/paper-poster-html - pass the old invocation arguments through unchanged
- avoid running the retired LaTeX and
tcbposterflow - keep
paper-posteras a familiar redirect entry point
Example prompts for the agent
- Use the
paper-posterskill for[paper-dir-or-pdf]and pass every argument to/paper-poster-html. - Process
[paper-dir-or-pdf]throughpaper-poster; do not run the old LaTeX flow. - Redirect this
paper-posterrequest to/paper-poster-htmlwithout changing its arguments.

--- name: paper-poster description: "DEPRECATED — superseded by /paper-poster-html. Kept only as a redirect for muscle memory; do not use for new posters." argument-hint: "[paper-dir-or-pdf]" allowed-tools: Read --- # Paper Poster (DEPRECATED → /paper-poster-html) This skill is retired. The LaTeX/tcbposter pipeline it described produced posters with unbounded color palettes, no real paper figures, and no print-canvas verification, and has been replaced by the measurement-gated HTML/CSS pipeline. **Immediately proceed with `/paper-poster-html`**, passing through all of the user's arguments unchanged. Do not attempt the legacy LaTeX flow. The full legacy implementation remains available in git history (`git log -- skills/paper-poster/SKILL.md`) if a venue ever mandates LaTeX poster source — none is known to.
