Type	Claude Skill
Supplier	K-Dense Inc. (community OSS)
Availability	GA — part of the actively maintained K-Dense scientific-agent-skills collection
Pricing	Free / OSS (MIT)
Capabilities	Read/Write — Claude runs the skill’s Python locally (Bash), not as an MCP tool

How to install

• Claude Code / Claude.ai — Skills CLI (recommended):

  npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
  

  Installs the K-Dense collection; enable the pptx-posters skill when prompted. Works across Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex via the Agent Skills spec (requires Node ≥ 18).

• Claude Code / Claude Desktop — manual clone:

  git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
  cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/pptx-posters ~/.claude/skills/
  

  Project-scoped alternative: copy into .claude/skills/ instead of ~/.claude/skills/. The skill declares its own Python dependencies in its SKILL.md; install them (the K-Dense skills generally use uv / pip) when prompted on first use.

What it does

Create research posters using HTML/CSS that can be exported to PDF or PPTX. Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly requests PowerPoint/PPTX poster format. For standard research posters, use latex-posters instead. This skill provides modern web-based poster design with responsive layouts and easy visual integration.

Primary use cases: Create research posters using HTML/CSS that can be exported to PDF or PPTX.

Notes

Distributed as a SKILL.md (plus code examples) in the K-Dense collection — Claude executes it locally via Bash/Python rather than as an MCP server. Upstream license: MIT. The skill name to enable after install is pptx-posters.
