Configure a project to use Claude Code

Source: R/claude.R
use_claude_code.Rd

[Experimental]

This function sets up a project to use Claude Code. Specifically, it:

  • Creates a .claude/ directory with a CLAUDE.md file containing project-specific instructions for R package development.

  • Creates a .claude/settings.json configuration file with recommended permissions for R package development, including the ability to run R, format with Air, and run common development tools.

  • Creates a .claude/skills/ directory containing various skills found useful by the tidyverse team. All skills have a tidy- prefix to avoid clashing with skills that you might provide.

  • Updates .claude/.gitignore to ignore settings.local.json (for user-specific settings).

Usage

use_claude_code()

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
