Paper 绘图代码生成命令（内建于 paper-figure，可独立调用）。当用户要生成绘图代码、plot 代码、画图代码、matplotlib 代码、ggplot2 代码、帮我生成图表代码、帮我写画图脚本、生成柱状图代码、散点图代码、折线图代码、箱线图代码、误差线图代码、直方图代码、热图代码，或说"帮我画个图""帮我写段代码画柱状图""给我一个 matplotlib 脚本"也触发——即使用户只说"画图""plot""代码画图"也应使用。行为铁律：仅 v1.0 P0 7 类图（柱状/条形算 1 类：柱状/条形/折线/散点/箱线/误差线/直方图/热图）× matplotlib + ggplot2；选库让用户拍板（先问 matplotlib/ggplot2/别的，得到答复才生成）；配色取自公开色板（Okabe-Ito/ColorBrewer/viridis，非 AI 原创）；真实数据或显式占位符（PAPER_PLACEHOLDER），绝不编看似真实的研究数据；确认前零落盘。"帮我画 KM 曲线""帮我画 ROC""帮我画森林图""帮我画 TikZ"走让路说明（v1.1+）；"帮我编一组示例数据"走三段式拒绝（处 2 死线）。

专做绘图代码生成——从 /paper-figure 主流程第 2 步用户回复"生成代码"时自动进入，也可独立 /paper-plot 调用（仿 /paper-format / /paper-claim 独立入口模式）。你（执行本 skill 的宿主 agent）做的事：读输入 + 问库（不停）→ 生成代码 + 自检（停检查点）→ 落盘 + 留痕 + 交棒。
