System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Prepare R packages for CRAN submission by checking for common ad-hoc requirements not caught by devtools::check. Use when: (1) Preparing a package for first CRAN release, (2) Preparing a package update for CRAN resubmission, (3) Reviewing a package to ensure CRAN compliance, (4) Responding to CRAN reviewer feedback.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create NEWS.md if missing and run usethis::use_news_md() for CRAN readiness
  • Create cran-comments.md with guidance to address CRAN checks and reviewer notes
  • Review README to ensure installation instructions are CRAN-safe and free of relative links
  • Proofread DESCRIPTION, ensuring Title/Description meet CRAN guidance and fields are proper
  • Verify COPYRIGHT holder and include required licensing and attribution
  • Review bundled files licensing and ensure third-party content is properly documented
  • Run automated URL checks to ensure https URLs and no redirects

Quick Start

Run the CRAN Extra Checks workflow on my R package to identify documentation, licensing, and URL issues and propose concrete fixes.
