Manage R package function and argument lifecycles using Tidyverse principles and the lifecycle package.
This skill provides Claude with specialized guidance for managing the evolution of R packages according to the lifecycle package framework. It enables developers to seamlessly handle API transitions by setting up lifecycle infrastructure, implementing tiered deprecation (soft, warn, stop), and properly marking functions as experimental or superseded. By following these standardized patterns, developers can maintain backward compatibility and clearly communicate versioning changes to users through automated badges and informative documentation.
