Use when the user asks to review or clean up R code for tidyverse style, standardize formatting or names, remove redundant comments or wrappers, or make a behavior-preserving style pass. Also use when writing substantial new R package code if the user requests tidyverse style or the package already follows it. Not for routine small edits or general correctness, security, or test-quality reviews.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Tidyverse style for R package code

Prefer the package's established conventions over the tidyverse guide unless the user requests a migration. Style is not proof of correctness; keep public behavior unchanged during cleanup.

## Work through the task

1. **Set scope and mode.** For a review, inspect the requested files or diff without editing. For cleanup, change only the agreed scope. When writing new code, inspect neighboring `R/` files, tests, and style configuration before choosing conventions. Check `DESCRIPTION` for supported R versions and dependencies when relevant.
2. **Protect interfaces.** Before renaming or reorganizing code, check exports, roxygen/NAMESPACE, S3/S4 methods, callers, tests, and user-visible conditions. Don't treat a public rename, changed default, error, return value, dependency, or supported R version as cosmetic.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add posit-dev/skills/r-tidyverse-style@sha256:c04210c21f3d8a15

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
