What it does

This skill bundles concise, opinionated guidance on modern tidyverse R practices. It helps agents rewrite, review, and modernise R code by recommending native pipe usage (|>), current dplyr patterns (join_by, .by, across, pick, reframe), tidyselect helpers, and safer recoding/replace primitives (recode_values, replace_values, replace_when). The body includes concrete examples, best-practice rules, and references to topic-specific files for joins, grouping, string handling, migration, and style.

When to use it

Use this skill when asked to: modernise legacy R code, review tidyverse code for style and correctness, suggest migrations from magrittr/base patterns to tidyverse idioms, or enforce consistent naming and formatting for R projects. It is designed for code-rewriting, code-review prompts, and educating users on current dplyr idioms.

What's included

Scripts: none bundled (has_scripts=false)
References: none embedded (has_references=false) but the SKILL body points to multiple reference files (joins.md, grouping.md, migration.md, tidyselect.md).
Instructions: practical rules (use |> over %>%, prefer recode_values, .by grouping, use cli::cli_abort for errors, tidyverse style conventions).
