To set up an R package for CRAN submission, initialize your project with standard directory structures and tooling. This orchestrates the full lifecycle, applying devtools conventions, roxygen2 documentation, and CRAN readiness checks.

Managing R package development with devtools involves following standard conventions for building, documenting, and testing. This orchestrates the workflow end-to-end, delegating specialized tasks like testing to dedicated tools.

Roxygen2 documentation integrates into R package lifecycle management by automating the generation of Rd files from inline comments. It supports standard workflows alongside devtools for building and preparing packages.

You need testthat to prepare your R package for CRAN submission because it provides the testing framework required by standard conventions. This workflow delegates testing operations to ensure package reliability.

You can format R package code automatically before a CRAN release using air formatting. This orchestrates code formatting within the package development lifecycle to ensure coding conventions are met.

You need NEWS.md conventions for R package development when preparing package distribution and versioning. It is part of the standard project structure and lifecycle orchestration for CRAN readiness.
