This skill should be used when converting academic papers into promotional and presentation formats including interactive websites (Paper2Web), presentation videos (Paper2Video), and conference posters (Paper2Poster). Use this skill for tasks involving paper dissemination, conference preparation, creating explorable academic homepages, generating video abstracts, or producing print-ready posters from LaTeX or PDF sources.
This skill enables the transformation of academic papers into multiple promotional and presentation formats using the Paper2All autonomous pipeline. The system converts research papers (LaTeX or PDF) into three primary outputs:
The pipeline uses LLM-powered content extraction, design generation, and iterative refinement to create high-quality outputs suitable for conferences, journals, preprint repositories, and academic promotion.
Use this skill when:
Trigger phrases:
When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.
If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:
For new documents: Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.
How to generate schematics:
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png
The AI will automatically:
When to add schematics:
For detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation.
Converts papers into layout-aware, interactive academic homepages that go beyond simple HTML conversion.

Use this decision tree to determine which components to generate:
User needs promotional materials for paper?
│
├─ Need permanent online presence?
│ └─→ Generate Paper2Web (interactive website)
│
├─ Need physical conference materials?
│ ├─→ Poster session? → Generate Paper2Poster
│ └─→ Oral presentation? → Generate Paper2Video
│
├─ Need video content?
│ ├─→ Journal video abstract? → Generate Paper2Video (5-10 min)
│ ├─→ Conference talk? → Generate Paper2Video (15-20 min)
│ └─→ Social media? → Generate Paper2Video (1-3 min)
