-# LaTeX Research Posters
-
-## Overview
-
-Research posters are a critical medium for scientific communication at conferences, symposia, and academic events. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for creating professional, visually appealing research posters using LaTeX packages. Generate publication-quality posters with proper layout, typography, color schemes, and visual hierarchy.
-
-## When to Use This Skill
-
-This skill should be used when:
-- Creating research posters for conferences, symposia, or poster sessions
-- Designing academic posters for university events or thesis defenses
-- Preparing visual summaries of research for public engagement
-- Converting scientific papers into poster format
-- Creating template posters for research groups or departments
-- Designing posters that comply with specific conference size requirements (A0, A1, 36×48", etc.)
-- Building posters with complex multi-column layouts
-- Integrating figures, tables, equations, and citations in poster format
-
-## AI-Powered Visual Element Generation
-
-**STANDARD WORKFLOW: Generate ALL major visual elements using AI before creating the LaTeX poster.**
-
-This is the recommended approach for creating visually compelling posters:
-1. Plan all visual elements needed (title, intro, methods, results, conclusions)
-2. Generate each element using scientific-schematics or Nano Banana Pro
-3. Assemble generated images in the LaTeX template
-4. Add text content around the visuals
-
-**Target: 60-70% of poster area should be AI-generated visuals, 30-40% text.**
-
----
-
-### CRITICAL: Preventing Content Overflow
-
-**⚠️ POSTERS MUST NOT HAVE TEXT OR CONTENT CUT OFF AT EDGES.**
-
-**Common Overflow Problems:**
-1. **Title/footer text extending beyond page boundaries**
-2. **Too many sections crammed into available space**
-3. **Figures placed too close to edges**
-4. **Text blocks exceeding column widths**
-
-**Prevention Rules:**
-
-**1. Limit Content Sections (MAXIMUM 5-6 sections for A0):**
-```
-✅ GOOD - 5 sections with room to breathe:
-   - Title/Header
-   - Introduction/Problem
-   - Methods
-   - Results (1-2 key findings)
-   - Conclusions
-
-❌ BAD - 8+ sections crammed together:
-   - Overview, Introduction, Background, Methods, 
-   - Results 1, Results 2, Discussion, Conclusions, Future Work
-```
-
-**2. Set Safe Margins in LaTeX:**
-```latex
-% tikzposter - add generous margins
-\documentclass[25pt, a0paper, portrait, margin=25mm]{tikzposter}
-
-% baposter - ensure content doesn't touch edges
-\begin{poster}{
-  columns=3,
-  colspacing=2em,           % Space between columns
-  headerheight=0.1\textheight,  % Smaller header
-  % Leave space at bottom
-}
-```
-
-**3. Figure Sizing - Never 100% Width:**
-```latex
-% Leave margins around figures
-\includegraphics[width=0.85\linewidth]{figure.png}  % NOT 1.0\linewidth
-```
-
-**4. Check for Overflow Before Printing:**
-```bash
-# Compile and check PDF at 100% zoom
-pdflatex poster.tex
-
-# Look for:
-# - Text cut off at any edge
-# - Content touching page boundaries  
-# - Overfull hbox warnings in .log file
-grep -i "overfull" poster.log
-```
-
-**5. Word Count Limits:**
-- **A0 poster**: 300-800 words MAXIMUM
-- **Per section**: 50-100 words maximum
-- **If you have more content**: Cut it or make a handout
-
----
-
-### CRITICAL: Poster-Size Font Requirements
-
-**⚠️ ALL text within AI-generated visualizations MUST be poster-readable.**
-
-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.
-
-**⚠️ COMMON PROBLEM: Content Overflow and Density**
-
-The #1 issue with AI-generated poster graphics is **TOO MUCH CONTENT**. This causes:
-- Text overflow beyond boundaries
-- Unreadable small fonts
-- Cluttered, overwhelming visuals
-- Poor white space usage
-
-**SOLUTION: Generate SIMPLE graphics with MINIMAL content.**
-
-**MANDATORY prompt requirements for EVERY poster graphic:**
-
-```
-POSTER FORMAT REQUIREMENTS (STRICTLY ENFORCE):
-- ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM 3-4 elements per graphic (3 is ideal)
-- ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM 10 words total in the entire graphic
-- NO complex workflows with 5+ steps (split into 2-3 simple graphics instead)
-- NO multi-level nested diagrams (flatten to single level)
-- NO case studies with multiple sub-sections (one key point per case)
-- ALL text GIANT BOLD (80pt+ for labels, 120pt+ for key numbers)
-- High contrast ONLY (dark on white OR white on dark, NO gradients with text)
-- MANDATORY 50% white space minimum (half the graphic should be empty)
-- Thick lines only (5px+ minimum), large icons (200px+ minimum)
-- ONE SINGLE MESSAGE per graphic (not 3 related messages)
-```
-
-**⚠️ BEFORE GENERATING: Review your prompt and count elements**
-- If your description has 5+ items → STOP. Split into multiple graphics
-- If your workflow has 5+ stages → STOP. Show only 3-4 high-level steps
-- If your comparison has 4+ methods → STOP. Show only top 3 or Our vs Best Baseline
-
-**Content limits per graphic type (STRICT):**
-| Graphic Type | Max Elements | Max Words | Reject If | Good Example |
-|--------------|--------------|-----------|-----------|--------------|
-| Flowchart | **3-4 boxes MAX** | **8 words** | 5+ stages, nested steps | "DISCOVER → VALIDATE → APPROVE" (3 words) |
-| Key findings | **3 items MAX** | **9 words** | 4+ metrics, paragraphs | "95% ACCURATE" "2X FASTER" "FDA READY" (6 words) |
-| Comparison chart | **3 bars MAX** | **6 words** | 4+ methods, legend text | "OURS: 95%" "BEST: 85%" (4 words) |
-| Case study | **1 case, 3 elements** | **6 words** | Multiple cases, substories | Logo + "18 MONTHS" + "to discovery" (2 words) |
-| Timeline | **3-4 points MAX** | **8 words** | Year-by-year detail | "2020 START" "2022 TRIAL" "2024 APPROVED" (6 words) |
-
-**Example - WRONG (7-stage workflow - TOO COMPLEX):**
-```bash
-# ❌ BAD - This creates tiny unreadable text like the drug discovery poster
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "Drug discovery workflow showing: Stage 1 Target Identification, Stage 2 Molecular Synthesis, Stage 3 Virtual Screening, Stage 4 AI Lead Optimization, Stage 5 Clinical Trial Design, Stage 6 FDA Approval. Include success metrics, timelines, and validation steps for each stage." -o figures/workflow.png
-# Result: 7+ stages with tiny text, unreadable from 6 feet - POSTER FAILURE
-```
-
-**Example - CORRECT (simplified to 3 key stages):**
-```bash
-# ✅ GOOD - Same content, split into ONE simple high-level graphic
-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. NO substeps, NO details. 3 words total. Readable from 10 feet." -o figures/workflow_overview.png
-# Result: Clean, impactful, readable - can add detail graphics separately if needed
-```
-
-**Example - WRONG (complex case studies with multiple sections):**
-```bash
-# ❌ BAD - Creates cramped unreadable sections
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "Case studies: Insilico Medicine (drug candidate, discovery time, clinical trials), Recursion Pharma (platform, methodology, results), Exscientia (drug candidates, FDA status, timeline). Include company logos, metrics, and outcomes." -o figures/cases.png
-# Result: 3 case studies with 4+ elements each = 12+ total elements, tiny text
-```
-
-**Example - CORRECT (one case study, one key metric):**
-```bash
-# ✅ GOOD - Show ONE case with ONE key number
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. ONE case study card: Company logo (large), '18 MONTHS' in GIANT text (150pt), 'to discovery' below (60pt). 3 elements total: logo + number + caption. 50% white space. Readable from 10 feet." -o figures/case_single.png
-# Result: Clear, readable, impactful. Make 3 separate graphics if you need 3 cases.
-```
-
-**Example - WRONG (key findings too complex):**
-```bash
-# BAD - too many items, too much detail
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "Key findings showing 8 metrics: accuracy 95%, precision 92%, recall 94%, F1 0.93, AUC 0.97, training time 2.3 hours, inference 50ms, model size 145MB with comparison to 5 baseline methods" -o figures/findings.png
-# Result: Cramped graphic with tiny numbers
-```
-
-**Example - CORRECT (key findings simple):**
-```bash
-# GOOD - only 3 key items, giant numbers
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. KEY FINDINGS with ONLY 3 large cards. Card 1: '95%' in GIANT text (120pt) with 'ACCURACY' below (48pt). Card 2: '2X' in GIANT text with 'FASTER' below. Card 3: checkmark icon with 'VALIDATED' in large text. 50% white space. High contrast colors. NO other text or details." -o figures/findings.png
-# Result: Bold, readable impact statement
-```
-
-**Font size reference for poster prompts:**
-| Element | Minimum Size | Prompt Keywords |
-|---------|--------------|-----------------|
-| Main numbers/metrics | 72pt+ | "huge", "very large", "giant", "poster-size" |
-| Section titles | 60pt+ | "large bold", "prominent" |
-| Labels/captions | 36pt+ | "readable from 6 feet", "clear labels" |
-| Body text | 24pt+ | "poster-readable", "large text" |
-
-**Always include in prompts:**
-- "POSTER FORMAT" or "for A0 poster" or "readable from 6 feet"
-- "VERY LARGE TEXT" or "huge bold fonts"
-- Specific text that should appear (so it's baked into the image)
-- "minimal text, maximum impact"
-- "high contrast" for readability
-- "generous margins" and "no text near edges"
-
----
-
-### CRITICAL: AI-Generated Graphic Sizing
-
-**⚠️ Each AI-generated graphic should focus on ONE concept with MINIMAL content.**
-
-**Problem**: Generating complex diagrams with many elements leads to small text.
-
-**Solution**: Generate SIMPLE graphics with FEW elements and LARGE text.
-
-**Example - WRONG (too complex, text will be small):**
-```bash
-# BAD - too many elements in one graphic
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "Complete ML pipeline showing data collection, 
-preprocessing with 5 steps, feature engineering with 8 techniques, model training 
-with hyperparameter tuning, validation with cross-validation, and deployment with 
-monitoring. Include all labels and descriptions." -o figures/pipeline.png
-```
-
-**Example - CORRECT (simple, focused, large text):**
-```bash
-# GOOD - split into multiple simple graphics with large text
-
-# Graphic 1: High-level overview (3-4 elements max)
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0: Simple 4-step pipeline. 
-Four large boxes: DATA → PROCESS → MODEL → RESULTS. 
-GIANT labels (80pt+), thick arrows, lots of white space. 
-Only 4 words total. Readable from 8 feet." -o figures/overview.png
-
-# Graphic 2: Key result (1 metric highlighted)
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0: Single key metric display.
-Giant '95%' text (150pt+) with 'ACCURACY' below (60pt+).
-Checkmark icon. Minimal design, high contrast.
-Readable from 10 feet." -o figures/accuracy.png
-```
-
-**Rules for AI-generated poster graphics:**
-| Rule | Limit | Reason |
-|------|-------|--------|
-| **Elements per graphic** | 3-5 maximum | More elements = smaller text |
-| **Words per graphic** | 10-15 maximum | Minimal text = larger fonts |
-| **Flowchart steps** | 4-5 maximum | Keeps labels readable |
-| **Chart categories** | 3-4 maximum | Prevents crowding |
-| **Nested levels** | 1-2 maximum | Avoids complexity |
-
-**Split complex content into multiple simple graphics:**
-```
-Instead of 1 complex diagram with 12 elements:
-→ Create 3 simple diagrams with 4 elements each
-→ Each graphic can have LARGER text
-→ Arrange in poster with clear visual flow
-```
-
----
-
-### Step 0: MANDATORY Pre-Generation Review (DO THIS FIRST)
-
-**⚠️ BEFORE generating ANY graphics, review your content plan:**
-
-**For EACH planned graphic, ask these questions:**
-1. **Element count**: Can I describe this in 3-4 items or less?
-   - ❌ NO → Simplify or split into multiple graphics
-   - ✅ YES → Continue
-
-2. **Complexity check**: Is this a multi-stage workflow (5+ steps) or nested diagram?
-   - ❌ YES → Flatten to 3-4 high-level steps only
-   - ✅ NO → Continue
-
-3. **Word count**: Can I describe all text in 10 words or less?
-   - ❌ NO → Cut text, use single-word labels
-   - ✅ YES → Continue
-
-4. **Message clarity**: Does this graphic convey ONE clear message?
-   - ❌ NO → Split into multiple focused graphics
-   - ✅ YES → Continue to generation
-
-**Common patterns that ALWAYS fail (reject these):**
-- "Show stages 1 through 7..." → Split into high-level overview (3 stages) + detail graphics
-- "Multiple case studies..." → One case per graphic
-- "Timeline from 2015 to 2024 with annual milestones..." → Show only 3-4 key years
-- "Comparison of 6 methods..." → Show only top 3 or Our method vs Best baseline
-- "Architecture with all layers and connections..." → High-level only (3-4 components)
-
-### Step 1: Plan Your Poster Elements
-
-After passing the pre-generation review, identify visual elements needed:
-
-1. **Title Block** - Stylized title with institutional branding (optional - can be LaTeX text)
-2. **Introduction Graphic** - Conceptual overview (3 elements max)
-3. **Methods Diagram** - High-level workflow (3-4 steps max)
-4. **Results Figures** - Key findings (3 metrics max per figure, may need 2-3 separate figures)
-5. **Conclusion Graphic** - Summary visual (3 takeaways max)
-6. **Supplementary Icons** - Simple icons, QR codes, logos (minimal)
-
-### Step 2: Generate Each Element (After Pre-Generation Review)
-
-**⚠️ CRITICAL: Review Step 0 checklist before proceeding.**
-
-Use the appropriate tool for each element type:
-
-**For Schematics and Diagrams (scientific-schematics):**
-```bash
-# Create figures directory
-mkdir -p figures
-
-# Drug discovery workflow - HIGH-LEVEL ONLY, 3 stages
-# BAD: "Stage 1: Target ID, Stage 2: Molecular Synthesis, Stage 3: Virtual Screening, Stage 4: AI Lead Opt..."
-# GOOD: Collapse to 3 mega-stages
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. ULTRA-SIMPLE 3-box workflow: 'DISCOVER' (120pt bold) → 'VALIDATE' (120pt bold) → 'APPROVE' (120pt bold). Thick arrows (10px). 60% white space. ONLY these 3 words. NO substeps. Readable from 12 feet." -o figures/workflow_simple.png
-
-# System architecture - MAXIMUM 3 components
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. ULTRA-SIMPLE 3-component stack: 'DATA' box (120pt) → 'AI MODEL' box (120pt) → 'PREDICTION' box (120pt). Thick vertical arrows. 60% white space. 3 words only. Readable from 12 feet." -o figures/architecture.png
-
-# Timeline - ONLY 3 key milestones (not year-by-year)
-# BAD: "2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 with events"
-# GOOD: Only 3 breakthrough moments
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. Timeline with ONLY 3 points: '2018' + icon, '2021' + icon, '2024' + icon. GIANT years (120pt). Large icons. 60% white space. NO connecting lines or details. Readable from 12 feet." -o figures/timeline.png
-
-# Case study - ONE case, ONE key metric
-# BAD: "3 case studies: Insilico (details), Recursion (details), Exscientia (details)"
-# GOOD: ONE case with ONE number
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. ONE case study: Large logo + '18 MONTHS' (150pt bold) + 'to discovery' (60pt). 3 elements total. 60% white space. Readable from 12 feet." -o figures/case1.png
-
-# If you need 3 cases → make 3 separate simple graphics (not one complex graphic)
-```
-
-**For Stylized Blocks and Graphics (Nano Banana Pro):**
-```bash
-# Title block - SIMPLE
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. Title block: 'ML FOR DRUG DISCOVERY' in HUGE bold text (120pt+). Dark blue background. ONE subtle icon. NO other text. 40% white space. Readable from 15 feet." -o figures/title_block.png
-
-# Introduction visual - SIMPLE, 3 elements only
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. SIMPLE problem visual with ONLY 3 icons: drug icon, arrow, target icon. ONE label per icon (80pt+). 50% white space. NO detailed text. Readable from 8 feet." -o figures/intro_visual.png
-
-# Conclusion/summary - ONLY 3 items, GIANT numbers
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. KEY FINDINGS with EXACTLY 3 cards only. Card 1: '95%' (150pt font) with 'ACCURACY' (60pt). Card 2: '2X' (150pt) with 'FASTER' (60pt). Card 3: checkmark icon with 'READY' (60pt). 50% white space. NO other text. Readable from 10 feet." -o figures/conclusions_graphic.png
-
-# Background visual - SIMPLE, 3 icons only
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. SIMPLE visual with ONLY 3 large icons in a row: problem icon → challenge icon → impact icon. ONE word label each (80pt+). 50% white space. NO detailed text. Readable from 8 feet." -o figures/background_visual.png
-```
-
-**For Data Visualizations - SIMPLE, 3 bars max:**
-```bash
-# SIMPLE chart with ONLY 3 bars, GIANT labels
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. SIMPLE bar chart with ONLY 3 bars: BASELINE (70%), EXISTING (85%), OURS (95%). GIANT percentage labels ON the bars (100pt+). NO axis labels, NO legend, NO gridlines. Our bar highlighted in different color. 40% white space. Readable from 8 feet." -o figures/comparison_chart.png
-```
-
-### Step 2b: MANDATORY Post-Generation Review (Before Assembly)
-
-**⚠️ CRITICAL: Review EVERY generated graphic before adding to poster.**
-
-**For each generated figure, open at 25% zoom and check:**
-
-1. **✅ PASS criteria (all must be true):**
-   - Can read ALL text clearly at 25% zoom
-   - Count elements: 3-4 or fewer
-   - White space: 50%+ of image is empty
-   - Simple enough to understand in 2 seconds
-   - NOT a complex workflow with 5+ stages
-   - NOT multiple nested sections
-
-2. **❌ FAIL criteria (regenerate if ANY are true):**
-   - Text is small or hard to read at 25% zoom → REGENERATE with "150pt+" fonts
-   - More than 4 elements → REGENERATE with "ONLY 3 elements"
-   - Less than 50% white space → REGENERATE with "60% white space"
-   - Complex multi-stage workflow → SPLIT into 2-3 simple graphics
-   - Multiple case studies cramped together → SPLIT into separate graphics
-   - Takes more than 3 seconds to understand → SIMPLIFY and regenerate
-
-**Common failures and fixes:**
-- "7-stage workflow with tiny text" → Regenerate as "3 high-level stages only"
-- "3 case studies in one graphic" → Generate 3 separate simple graphics
-- "Timeline with 8 years" → Regenerate with "ONLY 3 key milestones"
-- "Comparison of 5 methods" → Regenerate with "ONLY Our method vs Best baseline (2 bars)"
-
-**DO NOT PROCEED to assembly if ANY graphic fails the checks above.**
-
-### Step 3: Assemble in LaTeX Template
-
-After all figures pass the post-generation review, include them in your poster template:
-
-**tikzposter example:**
-```latex
-\documentclass[25pt, a0paper, portrait]{tikzposter}
-
-\begin{document}
-

-\begin{columns}
-\column{0.5}
-
-\block{Introduction}{

-
-### Example: Complete Poster Generation Workflow
-
-**Full workflow with ALL quality checks:**
-
-```bash
-# STEP 0: Pre-Generation Review (MANDATORY)
-# Content plan: Drug discovery poster
-# - Workflow: 7 stages → ❌ TOO MANY → Reduce to 3 mega-stages ✅
-# - 3 case studies → ❌ TOO MANY → One case per graphic (make 3 graphics) ✅
-# - Timeline 2018-2024 → ❌ TOO DETAILED → Only 3 key years ✅
-
-# STEP 1: Create figures directory
-mkdir -p figures
-
-# STEP 2: Generate ULTRA-SIMPLE graphics with strict limits
-
-# Workflow - HIGH-LEVEL ONLY (collapsed from 7 stages to 3)
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. ULTRA-SIMPLE 3-box workflow: 'DISCOVER' → 'VALIDATE' → 'APPROVE'. Each word 120pt+ bold. Thick arrows (10px). 60% white space. ONLY 3 words total. Readable from 12 feet." -o figures/workflow.png
-
-# Case study 1 - ONE case, ONE metric (will make 3 separate graphics)
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. ONE case: Company logo + '18 MONTHS' (150pt bold) + 'to drug discovery' (60pt). 3 elements only. 60% white space. Readable from 12 feet." -o figures/case1.png
-
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. ONE case: Company logo + '95% SUCCESS' (150pt bold) + 'in trials' (60pt). 3 elements only. 60% white space." -o figures/case2.png
-
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. ONE case: Company logo + 'FDA APPROVED' (150pt bold) + '2024' (60pt). 3 elements only. 60% white space." -o figures/case3.png
-
-# Timeline - ONLY 3 key years (not 7 years)
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. ONLY 3 years: '2018' (150pt) + icon, '2021' (150pt) + icon, '2024' (150pt) + icon. Large icons. 60% white space. NO lines or details. Readable from 12 feet." -o figures/timeline.png
-
-# Results - ONLY 2 bars (our method vs best baseline, not 5 methods)
-python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. TWO bars only: 'BASELINE 70%' and 'OURS 95%' (highlighted). GIANT percentages (150pt) ON bars. NO axis, NO legend. 60% white space. Readable from 12 feet." -o figures/results.png
-
-# STEP 2b: Post-Generation Review (MANDATORY)
-# Open each figure at 25% zoom:
-# ✅ workflow.png: 3 elements, text readable, 60% white - PASS
-# ✅ case1.png: 3 elements, giant numbers, clean - PASS
-# ✅ case2.png: 3 elements, giant numbers, clean - PASS  
-# ✅ case3.png: 3 elements, giant numbers, clean - PASS
-# ✅ timeline.png: 3 elements, readable, simple - PASS
-# ✅ results.png: 2 bars, giant percentages, clear - PASS
-# ALL PASS → Proceed to assembly
-
-# STEP 3: Compile LaTeX poster
-pdflatex poster.tex
-
-# STEP 4: PDF Overflow Check (see Section 11)
-grep "Overfull" poster.log
-# Open at 100% and check all 4 edges
-```
-
-**If ANY graphic fails Step 2b review:**
-- Too many elements → Regenerate with "ONLY 3 elements"
-- Small text → Regenerate with "150pt+" or "GIANT BOLD (150pt+)"
-- Cluttered → Regenerate with "60% white space" and "ULTRA-SIMPLE"
-- Complex workflow → SPLIT into multiple simple 3-element graphics
-
-### Visual Element Guidelines
-
-**⚠️ CRITICAL: Each graphic must have ONE message and MAXIMUM 3-4 elements.**
-
-**ABSOLUTE LIMITS - These are NOT guidelines, these are HARD LIMITS:**
-- **MAXIMUM 3-4 elements** per graphic (3 is ideal)
-- **MAXIMUM 10 words** total per graphic
-- **MINIMUM 50% white space** (60% is better)
-- **MINIMUM 120pt** for key numbers/metrics
-- **MINIMUM 80pt** for labels
-
-**For each poster section - STRICT requirements:**
-
-| Section | Max Elements | Max Words | Example Prompt (REQUIRED PATTERN) |
-|---------|--------------|-----------|-------------------------------------|
-| **Introduction** | 3 icons | 6 words | "POSTER FORMAT for A0: ULTRA-SIMPLE 3 icons: [icon1] [icon2] [icon3]. ONE WORD labels (100pt bold). 60% white space. 3 words total." |
-| **Methods** | 3 boxes | 6 words | "POSTER FORMAT for A0: ULTRA-SIMPLE 3-box workflow: 'STEP1' → 'STEP2' → 'STEP3'. GIANT labels (120pt+). 60% white space. 3 words only." |
-| **Results** | 2-3 bars | 6 words | "POSTER FORMAT for A0: TWO bars: 'BASELINE 70%' 'OURS 95%'. GIANT percentages (150pt+) ON bars. NO axis. 60% white space." |
-| **Conclusions** | 3 cards | 9 words | "POSTER FORMAT for A0: THREE cards: '95%' (150pt) 'ACCURATE', '2X' (150pt) 'FASTER', checkmark 'READY'. 60% white space." |
-| **Case Study** | 3 elements | 5 words | "POSTER FORMAT for A0: ONE case: logo + '18 MONTHS' (150pt) + 'to discovery' (60pt). 60% white space." |
-| **Timeline** | 3 points | 3 words | "POSTER FORMAT for A0: THREE years only: '2018' '2021' '2024' (150pt each). Large icons. 60% white space. NO details." |
-
-**MANDATORY prompt elements (ALL required, NO exceptions):**
-1. **"POSTER FORMAT for A0"** - MUST be first
-2. **"ULTRA-SIMPLE"** or **"ONLY X elements"** - content limit
-3. **"GIANT (120pt+)"** or specific font sizes - readability
-4. **"60% white space"** - mandatory breathing room
-5. **"readable from 10-12 feet"** - viewing distance
-6. **Exact count** of words/elements - "3 words total" or "ONLY 3 icons"
-
-**PATTERNS THAT ALWAYS FAIL (REJECT IMMEDIATELY):**
-- ❌ "7-stage drug discovery workflow" → Split to "3 mega-stages"
-- ❌ "Timeline from 2015-2024 with annual updates" → "ONLY 3 key years"
-- ❌ "3 case studies with details" → Make 3 separate simple graphics
-- ❌ "Comparison of 5 methods with metrics" → "ONLY 2: ours vs best"
-- ❌ "Complete architecture showing all layers" → "3 components only"
-- ❌ "Show stages 1,2,3,4,5,6" → "3 high-level stages"
-
-**PATTERNS THAT WORK:**
-- ✅ "3 mega-stages collapsed from 7" → Proper simplification
-- ✅ "ONE case with ONE metric" → Will make multiple if needed
-- ✅ "ONLY 3 milestones" → Selective, focused
-- ✅ "2 bars: ours vs baseline" → Direct comparison
-- ✅ "3-component high-level view" → Appropriately simplified

-# For beamer-based posters
-lualatex poster.tex  # Better font support
-xelatex poster.tex   # Unicode and modern fonts
-```
-
-**Ensuring Full Page Coverage**:
-
-Posters should use the entire page without excessive margins. Configure packages correctly:
-
-**beamerposter - Full Page Setup**:
-```latex
-\documentclass[final,t]{beamer}
-\usepackage[size=a0,scale=1.4,orientation=portrait]{beamerposter}
-
-% Remove default beamer margins
-\setbeamersize{text margin left=0mm, text margin right=0mm}
-
-% Use geometry for precise control
-\usepackage[margin=10mm]{geometry}  % 10mm margins all around
-
-% Remove navigation symbols
-\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
-
-% Remove footline and headline if not needed
-\setbeamertemplate{footline}{}
-\setbeamertemplate{headline}{}
-```
-
-**tikzposter - Full Page Setup**:
-```latex
-\documentclass[
-  25pt,                      % Font scaling
-  a0paper,                   % Paper size
-  portrait,                  % Orientation
-  margin=10mm,               % Outer margins (minimal)
-  innermargin=15mm,          % Space inside blocks
-  blockverticalspace=15mm,   % Space between blocks
-  colspace=15mm,             % Space between columns
-  subcolspace=8mm            % Space between subcolumns
-]{tikzposter}
-
-% This ensures content fills the page
-```
-
-**baposter - Full Page Setup**:
-```latex
-\documentclass[a0paper,portrait,fontscale=0.285]{baposter}
-
-\begin{poster}{
-  grid=false,
-  columns=3,
-  colspacing=1.5em,          % Space between columns
-  eyecatcher=true,
-  background=plain,
-  bgColorOne=white,
-  borderColor=blue!50,
-  headerheight=0.12\textheight,  % 12% for header
-  textborder=roundedleft,
-  headerborder=closed,
-  boxheaderheight=2em        % Consistent box header heights
-}
-% Content here
-\end{poster}
-```
-
-**Common Issues and Fixes**:
-
-**Problem**: Large white margins around poster
-```latex
-% Fix for beamerposter
-\setbeamersize{text margin left=5mm, text margin right=5mm}
-
-% Fix for tikzposter
-\documentclass[..., margin=5mm, innermargin=10mm]{tikzposter}
-
-% Fix for baposter - adjust in document class
-\documentclass[a0paper, margin=5mm]{baposter}
-```
-
-**Problem**: Content doesn't fill vertical space
-```latex
-% Use \vfill between sections to distribute space
-\block{Introduction}{...}
-\vfill
-\block{Methods}{...}
-\vfill
-\block{Results}{...}
-
-% Or manually adjust block spacing
-\vspace{1cm}  % Add space between specific blocks
-```
-
-**Problem**: Poster extends beyond page boundaries
-```latex
-% Check total width calculation
-% For 3 columns with spacing:
-% Total = 3×columnwidth + 2×colspace + 2×margins
-% Ensure this equals \paperwidth
-
-% Debug by adding visible page boundary
-\usepackage{eso-pic}
-\AddToShipoutPictureBG{
-  \AtPageLowerLeft{
-    \put(0,0){\framebox(\LenToUnit{\paperwidth},\LenToUnit{\paperheight}){}}
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Print Preparation**:
-- Generate PDF/X-1a for professional printing
-- Embed all fonts
-- Convert colors to CMYK if required
-- Check resolution of all images (minimum 300 DPI)
-- Add bleed area if required by printer (usually 3-5mm)
-- Verify page size matches requirements exactly
-
-**Digital Display**:
-- RGB color space for screen display
-- Optimize file size for email/web
-- Test readability on different screens
-
-### 11. PDF Review and Quality Control
-
-**CRITICAL**: Always review the generated PDF before printing or presenting. Use this systematic checklist:
-
-**Step 1: Page Size Verification**
-```bash
-# Check PDF dimensions (should match poster size exactly)
-pdfinfo poster.pdf | grep "Page size"
-
-# Expected outputs:
-# A0: 2384 x 3370 points (841 x 1189 mm)
-# 36x48": 2592 x 3456 points
-# A1: 1684 x 2384 points (594 x 841 mm)
-```
-
-**Step 2: OVERFLOW CHECK (CRITICAL) - DO THIS IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMPILATION**
-
-**⚠️ THIS IS THE #1 CAUSE OF POSTER FAILURES. Check BEFORE proceeding.**
-
-**Step 2a: Check LaTeX Log File**
-```bash
-# Check for overflow warnings (these are ERRORS, not suggestions)
-grep -i "overfull\|underfull\|badbox" poster.log
-
-# ANY "Overfull" warning = content is cut off or extending beyond boundaries
-# FIX ALL OF THESE before proceeding
-```
-
-**Common overflow warnings and what they mean:**
-- `Overfull \hbox (15.2pt too wide)` → Text or graphic is 15.2pt wider than column
-- `Overfull \vbox (23.5pt too high)` → Content is 23.5pt taller than available space
-- `Badbox` → LaTeX struggling to fit content within boundaries
-
-**Step 2b: Visual Edge Inspection (100% zoom in PDF viewer)**
-
-**Check ALL FOUR EDGES systematically:**
-
-1. **TOP EDGE:**
-   - [ ] Title completely visible (not cut off)
-   - [ ] Author names fully visible
-   - [ ] No graphics touching top margin
-   - [ ] Header content within safe zone
-
-2. **BOTTOM EDGE:**
-   - [ ] References fully visible (not cut off)
-   - [ ] Acknowledgments complete
-   - [ ] Contact info readable
-   - [ ] No graphics cut off at bottom
-
-3. **LEFT EDGE:**
-   - [ ] No text touching left margin
-   - [ ] All bullet points fully visible
-   - [ ] Graphics have left margin (not bleeding off)
-   - [ ] Column content within bounds
-
-4. **RIGHT EDGE:**
-   - [ ] No text extending beyond right margin
-   - [ ] Graphics not cut off on right
-   - [ ] Column content stays within bounds
-   - [ ] QR codes fully visible
-
-5. **BETWEEN COLUMNS:**
-   - [ ] Content stays within individual columns
-   - [ ] No text bleeding into adjacent columns
-   - [ ] Figures respect column boundaries
-
-**If ANY check fails, you have overflow. FIX IMMEDIATELY before continuing:**
-
-**Fix hierarchy (try in order):**
-1. **Check AI-generated graphics first:**
-   - Are they too complex (5+ elements)? → Regenerate simpler
-   - Do they have tiny text? → Regenerate with "150pt+" fonts
-   - Are there too many? → Reduce number of figures
-
-2. **Reduce sections:**
-   - More than 5-6 sections? → Combine or remove
-   - Example: Merge "Discussion" into "Conclusions"
-
-3. **Cut text content:**
-   - More than 800 words total? → Cut to 300-500
-   - More than 100 words per section? → Cut to 50-80
-
-4. **Adjust figure sizing:**
-   - Using `width=\linewidth`? → Change to `width=0.85\linewidth`
-   - Using `width=1.0\columnwidth`? → Change to `width=0.9\columnwidth`
-
-5. **Increase margins (last resort):**
-   ```latex
-   \documentclass[25pt, a0paper, portrait, margin=25mm]{tikzposter}
-   ```
-
-**DO NOT proceed to Step 3 if ANY overflow exists.**
-
-**Step 3: Visual Inspection Checklist**
-
-Open PDF at 100% zoom and check:
-
-**Layout and Spacing**:
-- [ ] Content fills entire page (no large white margins)
-- [ ] Consistent spacing between columns
-- [ ] Consistent spacing between blocks/sections
-- [ ] All elements aligned properly (use ruler tool)
-- [ ] No overlapping text or figures
-- [ ] White space evenly distributed
-
-**Typography**:
-- [ ] Title clearly visible and large (72pt+)
-- [ ] Section headers readable (48-72pt)
-- [ ] Body text readable at 100% zoom (24-36pt minimum)
-- [ ] No text cutoff or running off edges
-- [ ] Consistent font usage throughout
-- [ ] All special characters render correctly (symbols, Greek letters)
-
-**Visual Elements**:
-- [ ] All figures display correctly
-- [ ] No pixelated or blurry images
-- [ ] Figure captions present and readable
-- [ ] Colors render as expected (not washed out or too dark)
-- [ ] Logos display clearly
-- [ ] QR codes visible and scannable
-
-**Content Completeness**:
-- [ ] Title and authors complete
-- [ ] All sections present (Intro, Methods, Results, Conclusions)
-- [ ] References included
-- [ ] Contact information visible
-- [ ] Acknowledgments (if applicable)
-- [ ] No placeholder text remaining (Lorem ipsum, TODO, etc.)
-
-**Technical Quality**:
-- [ ] No LaTeX compilation warnings in important areas
-- [ ] All citations resolved (no [?] marks)
-- [ ] All cross-references working
-- [ ] Page boundaries correct (no content cut off)
-
-**Step 4: Reduced-Scale Print Test**
-
-**Essential Pre-Printing Test**:
-```bash
-# Create reduced-size test print (25% of final size)
-# This simulates viewing full poster from ~8-10 feet
-
-# For A0 poster, print on A4 paper (24.7% scale)
-# For 36x48" poster, print on letter paper (~25% scale)
-```
-
-**Print Test Checklist**:
-- [ ] Title readable from 6 feet away
-- [ ] Section headers readable from 4 feet away
-- [ ] Body text readable from 2 feet away
-- [ ] Figures clear and understandable
-- [ ] Colors printed accurately
-- [ ] No obvious design flaws
-
-**Step 5: Digital Quality Checks**
-
-**Font Embedding Verification**:
-```bash
-# Check that all fonts are embedded (required for printing)
-pdffonts poster.pdf
-
-# All fonts should show "yes" in "emb" column
-# If any show "no", recompile with:
-pdflatex -dEmbedAllFonts=true poster.tex
-```
-
-**Image Resolution Check**:
-```bash
-# Extract image information
-pdfimages -list poster.pdf
-
-# Check that all images are at least 300 DPI
-# Formula: DPI = pixels / (inches in poster)
-# For A0 width (33.1"): 300 DPI = 9930 pixels minimum
-```
-
-**File Size Optimization**:
-```bash
-# For email/web, compress if needed (>50MB)
-gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 \
-   -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH \
-   -sOutputFile=poster_compressed.pdf poster.pdf
-
-# For printing, keep original (no compression)
-```
-
-**Step 6: Accessibility Check**
-
-**Color Contrast Verification**:
-- [ ] Text-background contrast ratio ≥ 4.5:1 (WCAG AA)
-- [ ] Important elements contrast ratio ≥ 7:1 (WCAG AAA)
-- Test online: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
-
-**Color Blindness Simulation**:
-- [ ] View PDF through color blindness simulator
-- [ ] Information not lost with red-green simulation
-- [ ] Use Coblis (color-blindness.com) or similar tool
-
-**Step 7: Content Proofreading**
-
-**Systematic Review**:
-- [ ] Spell-check all text
-- [ ] Verify all author names and affiliations
-- [ ] Check all numbers and statistics for accuracy
-- [ ] Confirm all citations are correct
-- [ ] Review figure labels and captions
-- [ ] Check for typos in headers and titles
-
-**Peer Review**:
-- [ ] Ask colleague to review poster
-- [ ] 30-second test: Can they identify main message?
-- [ ] 5-minute review: Do they understand conclusions?
-- [ ] Note any confusing elements
-
-**Step 8: Technical Validation**
-
-**LaTeX Compilation Log Review**:
-```bash
-# Check for warnings in .log file
-grep -i "warning\|error\|overfull\|underfull" poster.log
-
-# Common issues to fix:
-# - Overfull hbox: Text extending beyond margins
-# - Underfull hbox: Excessive spacing
-# - Missing references: Citations not resolved
-# - Missing figures: Image files not found
-```
-
-**Fix Common Warnings**:
-```latex
-% Overfull hbox (text too wide)
-\usepackage{microtype}  % Better spacing
-\sloppy  % Allow slightly looser spacing
-\hyphenation{long-word}  % Manual hyphenation
-
-% Missing fonts
-\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}  % Better font encoding
-
-% Image not found
-% Ensure paths are correct and files exist
-\graphicspath{{./figures/}{./images/}}
-```
-

-### 12. Accessibility and Inclusive Design
-
-Design posters that are accessible to diverse audiences:
-
-**Color Blindness Considerations**:
-- Avoid red-green combinations (most common color blindness)
-- Use patterns or shapes in addition to color
-- Test with color-blindness simulators
-- Provide high contrast (WCAG AA standard: 4.5:1 minimum)
-
-**Visual Impairment Accommodations**:
-- Large, clear fonts (minimum 24pt body text)
-- High contrast text and background
-- Clear visual hierarchy
-- Avoid complex textures or patterns in backgrounds
-
-**Language and Content**:
-- Clear, concise language
-- Define acronyms and jargon
-- International audience considerations
-- Consider multilingual QR code options for global conferences
-
-### 13. Poster Presentation Best Practices
-
-Guidance beyond LaTeX for effective poster sessions:
-
-**Content Strategy**:
-- Tell a story, don't just list facts
-- Focus on 1-3 main messages
-- Use visual abstract or graphical summary
-- Leave room for conversation (don't over-explain)
-
-**Physical Presentation Tips**:
-- Bring printed handouts or business cards with QR code
-- Prepare 30-second, 2-minute, and 5-minute verbal summaries
-- Stand to the side, not blocking the poster
-- Engage viewers with open-ended questions
-
-**Digital Backups**:
-- Save poster as PDF on mobile device
-- Prepare digital version for email sharing
-- Create social media-friendly image version
-- Have backup printed copy or digital display option
-
-## Workflow for Poster Creation
-
-### Stage 1: Planning and Content Development
-
-1. **Determine poster requirements**:
-   - Conference size specifications (A0, 36×48", etc.)
-   - Orientation (portrait vs. landscape)
-   - Submission deadlines and format requirements
-
-2. **Develop content outline**:
-   - Identify 1-3 core messages
-   - Select key figures (typically 3-6 main visuals)
-   - Draft concise text for each section (bullet points preferred)
-   - Aim for 300-800 words total
-
-3. **Choose LaTeX package**:
-   - beamerposter: If familiar with Beamer, need institutional themes
-   - tikzposter: For modern, colorful designs with flexibility
-   - baposter: For structured, professional multi-column layouts
-
-### Stage 2: Generate Visual Elements (AI-Powered)
-
-**CRITICAL: Generate SIMPLE figures with MINIMAL content. Each graphic = ONE message.**
-
-**Content limits:**
-- Maximum 4-5 elements per graphic
-- Maximum 15 words total per graphic
-- 50% white space minimum
-- GIANT fonts (80pt+ for labels, 120pt+ for key numbers)
-
-1. **Create figures directory**:
-   ```bash
-   mkdir -p figures
-   ```
-
-2. **Generate SIMPLE visual elements**:
-   ```bash
-   # Introduction - ONLY 3 icons/elements
-   python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. SIMPLE visual with ONLY 3 elements: [icon1] [icon2] [icon3]. ONE word labels (80pt+). 50% white space. Readable from 8 feet." -o figures/intro.png
-   
-   # Methods - ONLY 4 steps maximum
-   python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. SIMPLE flowchart with ONLY 4 boxes: STEP1 → STEP2 → STEP3 → STEP4. GIANT labels (100pt+). 50% white space. NO sub-steps." -o figures/methods.png
-   
-   # Results - ONLY 3 bars/comparisons
-   python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. SIMPLE chart with ONLY 3 bars. GIANT percentages ON bars (120pt+). NO axis, NO legend. 50% white space." -o figures/results.png
-   
-   # Conclusions - EXACTLY 3 items with GIANT numbers
-   python scripts/generate_schematic.py "POSTER FORMAT for A0. EXACTLY 3 key findings: '[NUMBER]' (150pt) '[LABEL]' (60pt) for each. 50% white space. NO other text." -o figures/conclusions.png
-   ```
-
-3. **Review generated figures - check for overflow:**
-   - **View at 25% zoom**: All text still readable?
-   - **Count elements**: More than 5? → Regenerate simpler
-   - **Check white space**: Less than 40%? → Add "60% white space" to prompt
-   - **Font too small?**: Add "EVEN LARGER" or increase pt sizes
-   - **Still overflowing?**: Reduce to 3 elements instead of 4-5
-
-### Stage 3: Design and Layout
-
-1. **Select or create template**:
-   - Start with provided templates in `assets/`
-   - Customize color scheme to match branding
-   - Configure page size and orientation
-
-2. **Design layout structure**:
-   - Plan column structure (2, 3, or 4 columns)
-   - Map content flow (typically left-to-right, top-to-bottom)
-   - Allocate space for title (10-15%), content (70-80%), footer (5-10%)
-
-3. **Set typography**:
-   - Configure font sizes for different hierarchy levels
-   - Ensure minimum 24pt body text
-   - Test readability from 4-6 feet distance
-
-### Stage 4: Content Integration
-
-1. **Create poster header**:
-   - Title (concise, descriptive, 10-15 words)
-   - Authors and affiliations
-   - Institution logos (high-resolution)
-   - Conference logo if required
-
-2. **Integrate AI-generated figures**:
-   - Add all figures from Stage 2 to appropriate sections
-   - Use `\includegraphics` with proper sizing
-   - Ensure figures dominate each section (visuals first, text second)
-   - Center figures within blocks for visual impact
-
-3. **Add minimal supporting text**:
-   - Keep text minimal and scannable (300-800 words total)
-   - Use bullet points, not paragraphs
-   - Write in active voice
-   - Text should complement figures, not duplicate them
-
-4. **Add supplementary elements**:
-   - QR codes for supplementary materials
-   - References (cite key papers only, 5-10 typical)
-   - Contact information and acknowledgments
-
-### Stage 5: Refinement and Testing
-
-1. **Review and iterate**:
-   - Check for typos and errors
-   - Verify all figures are high resolution
-   - Ensure consistent formatting
-   - Confirm color scheme works well together
-
-2. **Test readability**:
-   - Print at 25% scale and read from 2-3 feet (simulates poster from 8-12 feet)
-   - Check color on different monitors
-   - Verify QR codes function correctly
-   - Ask colleague to review
-
-3. **Optimize for printing**:
-   - Embed all fonts in PDF
-   - Verify image resolution
-   - Check PDF size requirements
-   - Include bleed area if required
-
-### Stage 6: Compilation and Delivery
-
-1. **Compile final PDF**:
-   ```bash
-   pdflatex poster.tex
-   # Or for better font support:
-   lualatex poster.tex
-   ```
-
-2. **Verify output quality**:
-   - Check all elements are visible and correctly positioned
-   - Zoom to 100% and inspect figure quality
-   - Verify colors match expectations
-   - Confirm PDF opens correctly on different viewers
-
-3. **Prepare for printing**:
-   - Export as PDF/X-1a if required
-   - Save backup copies
-   - Get test print on regular paper first
-   - Order professional printing 2-3 days before deadline
-
-4. **Create supplementary materials**:
-   - Save PNG/JPG version for social media
-   - Create handout version (8.5×11" summary)
-   - Prepare digital version for email sharing
-
-## Integration with Other Skills
-
-This skill works effectively with:
-- **Scientific Schematics**: CRITICAL - Use for generating all poster diagrams and flowcharts
-- **Generate Image / Nano Banana Pro**: For stylized graphics, conceptual illustrations, and summary visuals
-- **Scientific Writing**: For developing poster content from papers
-- **Literature Review**: For contextualizing research
-- **Data Analysis**: For creating result figures and charts
-
-**Recommended workflow**: Always use scientific-schematics and generate-image skills BEFORE creating the LaTeX poster to generate all visual elements.
-
-## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
-
-**AI-Generated Graphics Mistakes (MOST COMMON):**
-- ❌ Too many elements in one graphic (10+ items) → Keep to 3-5 max
-- ❌ Text too small in AI graphics → Specify "GIANT (100pt+)" or "HUGE (150pt+)"
-- ❌ Too much detail in prompts → Use "SIMPLE" and "ONLY X elements"
-- ❌ No white space specification → Add "50% white space" to every prompt
-- ❌ Complex flowcharts with 8+ steps → Limit to 4-5 steps maximum
-- ❌ Comparison charts with 6+ items → Limit to 3 items maximum
-- ❌ Key findings with 5+ metrics → Show only top 3
-
-**Fixing Overflow in AI Graphics:**
-If your AI-generated graphics are overflowing or have small text:
-1. Add "SIMPLER" or "ONLY 3 elements" to prompt
-2. Increase font sizes: "150pt+" instead of "80pt+"
-3. Add "60% white space" instead of "50%"
-4. Remove sub-details: "NO sub-steps", "NO axis labels", "NO legend"
-5. Regenerate with fewer elements
-
-**Design Mistakes**:
-- ❌ Too much text (over 1000 words)
-- ❌ Font sizes too small (under 24pt body text)
-- ❌ Low-contrast color combinations
-- ❌ Cluttered layout with no white space
-- ❌ Inconsistent styling across sections
-- ❌ Poor quality or pixelated images
-
-**Content Mistakes**:
-- ❌ No clear narrative or message
-- ❌ Too many research questions or objectives
-- ❌ Overuse of jargon without definitions
-- ❌ Results without context or interpretation
-- ❌ Missing author contact information
-
-**Technical Mistakes**:
-- ❌ Wrong poster dimensions for conference requirements
-- ❌ RGB colors sent to CMYK printer (color shift)
-- ❌ Fonts not embedded in PDF
-- ❌ File size too large for submission portal
-- ❌ QR codes too small or not tested
-
-**Best Practices**:
-- ✅ Generate SIMPLE AI graphics with 3-5 elements max
-- ✅ Use GIANT fonts (100pt+) for key numbers in graphics
-- ✅ Specify "50% white space" in every AI prompt
-- ✅ Follow conference size specifications exactly
-- ✅ Test print at reduced scale before final printing
-- ✅ Use high-contrast, accessible color schemes
-- ✅ Keep text minimal and highly scannable
-- ✅ Include clear contact information and QR codes
-- ✅ Proofread carefully (errors are magnified on posters!)
