The CRAN Extra Checks Skill helps package developers ensure compliance with ad-hoc CRAN submission requirements that are not covered by standard devtools checks, reducing back-and-forth with CRAN reviewers.
Run the CRAN Extra Checks workflow on your package repository to identify missing documentation, URL issues, and packaging standards.

To check your R package for CRAN submission issues, run a pre-check workflow that verifies documentation, DESCRIPTION fields, URLs, and licensing to identify ad-hoc compliance gaps not covered by standard devtools checks.
For CRAN submission, you need to prepare and validate documentation files including NEWS.md, cran-comments.md, and README, ensuring they meet packaging standards and contain required compliance information.
To fix CRAN reviewer feedback about invalid URLs, run URL validation checks on your package repository to identify broken links and receive actionable remediation steps for correcting them.
Standard devtools checks do not verify license year alignment, so you need an extra checks workflow to enforce license year consistency and deliver actionable remediation steps before CRAN submission.
Your R package keeps getting rejected by CRAN because standard devtools checks do not cover ad-hoc requirements like NEWS.md, cran-comments.md validity, and license year alignment, which require additional pre-checks to resolve.
