paper-figure

Generate a publication-quality figure for an academic LaTeX paper using matplotlib or seaborn, save it as PDF in figures/, and write the matching Python source in scripts/.

Project config loading (mandatory first step)

Same as paper-draft (see that file for the exact 5-step protocol). If no .paper-config.yml is found in the cwd ancestor chain, stop with the "No paper project found" error.

What this skill does

Parse $ARGUMENTS for <chart-type> and <description>.

Recognized chart types: bar, line, scatter, heatmap, roc, ablation, scaling, confusion-matrix, box, violin, pareto.

Delegate to the visualization agent. The agent:

Generates a Python script using matplotlib/seaborn with publication defaults (300 DPI, colorblind-safe palette, proper rcParams)
Saves the figure as figures/<slug>.pdf
Saves the script as scripts/<slug>.py
Returns the LaTeX include snippet for the user to paste

Run the script with python3 scripts/<slug>.py to actually produce the PDF. Verify the output file exists and is non-empty.

Handoff schemas

None. This skill is self-contained.

Next steps

/paper-draft <section> to reference the new figure in the section text

/paper-compile to verify the figure renders in the PDF
