init-r-workspace

A standardized R project workspace is created by automatically generating a scaffold with main.R, src/, test/, data/, and .here, ensuring a consistent and clean structural baseline for new reproducible analyses.

You can initialize renv in a new R analysis project through the optional renv integration provided during the workspace bootstrap, which guides dependency initialization and snapshotting to lock environments across machines.

Structuring R analysis projects across teams is best handled by applying a deterministic scaffold that enforces consistent directories like src/ and test/ alongside a main.R entry point, ensuring uniform project setup and reproducibility.

Bootstrapping an R workspace will not overwrite your existing project files, as the process safely preserves current content and only reports what was newly created versus what was already present.

You do not need renv to create an R project scaffold, as the renv setup is an optional layer; the Skill generates the core directory structure and main.R independently before integrating reproducibility features.
