R Package Release Checklist

소개

This skill streamlines the R package release process by automatically detecting versioning needs, generating a structured release checklist, and formalizing it as a GitHub issue. It intelligently analyzes the DESCRIPTION and NEWS.md files to suggest appropriate release types (Major, Minor, or Patch), allows for interactive customization of tasks, and leverages the GitHub CLI to track progress. By providing a standardized workflow, it ensures that developers follow best practices for CRAN-ready or internal releases without manual boilerplate setup.
