btw

Connect R environments, docs, and packages to chat assistants

Describes R data frames, functions, packages, and workspace state as plain text ready for chat assistants. Reads R help pages, vignettes, and CRAN metadata, and runs package checks, tests, and documentation from the command line. Eliminates manual copy-pasting of context and repetitive package development steps. Works through clipboard workflows, in-IDE chat, or MCP servers for external coding assistants.
