Does it support tidyverse-specific documentation?

Absolutely. It is optimized to fetch from the official tidyverse.org pkgdown sites for modern packages like ggplot2, dplyr, and tidyr.

Can this skill help find packages for specific scientific fields?

Yes, it queries CRAN Task Views for domains like Bioinformatics, Psychometrics, and Finance to suggest the most relevant tools for your specific research needs.

Can I use this to find R package installation instructions?

Yes, the skill automatically generates the correct install.packages() or BiocManager commands based on the package source it identifies.

Why does this skill use WebFetch instead of answering from memory?

R packages are updated frequently. Using WebFetch ensures you get the most recent function parameters, bug fixes, and vignette examples from official sources rather than outdated training data.
