What problem does it solve?

Building robust R packages can be challenging without a structured approach to dependency decisions, API design, input validation, and error messages. This skill guides developers toward modern tidyverse patterns for package development, promoting consistency and maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency strategy guidance: balanced use of external packages vs base R to minimize maintenance while enabling powerful APIs.
  • Tidyverse API design patterns: consistent function interfaces, use of quosures, and per-operation grouping guidelines.
  • Validation and error handling: best practices using cli/rlang to provide clear, actionable messages.
  • Testing and documentation priorities: recommended levels and coverage to ensure reliability.
