## What it does

This skill delegates static analysis of `.R` scripts to the `r-reviewer` subagent. You can pass a specific file name, a lecture tag like `LectureN`, or the `all` keyword to scan both `scripts/R/` and `Figures/*/`. The agent inspects code against rules stored in `.claude/rules/r-code-conventions.md`.

Tools like `Edit` and `MultiEdit` are disallowed. Each review is written directly to `quality_reports/[script_name]_r_review.md`, followed by a terminal summary highlighting the top three critical issues. Your source code stays untouched.

The skill does not execute code. For validating numerical outputs, run `/audit-reproducibility` instead.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill review-r -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/review-r/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/review-r/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill review-r -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/review-r/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill review-r -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/review-r/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow review-r
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/review-r/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill review-r -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --path .claude/skills/review-r
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/review-r/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill review-r -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/review-r/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- audit R scripts for tidyverse conventions before paper submission
- inspect research analysis files without altering source code
- generate structured markdown review reports in `quality_reports/`
- surface critical bugs and reproducibility flaws across project folders

## Example prompts
- review this R script `analysis.R`
- check the R code for `Lecture2`
- audit the analysis code with argument `all`

name: review-r
description: Read-only R code review protocol for `.R` scripts. Checks code quality, reproducibility, domain correctness, tidyverse idioms, and professional standards; produces a report without editing. Use when user says "review this R script", "check the R code", "audit the analysis code", "code review on the R", or when an R file is touched as part of a paper submission. NOT for running the code — pair with `/audit-reproducibility` for numeric verification.

# Review R Scripts

Run the comprehensive R code review protocol.

## Steps

1. **Identify scripts to review:**
   - If `$ARGUMENTS` is a specific `.R` filename: review that file only
   - If `$ARGUMENTS` is `LectureN`: review all R scripts matching that lecture
   - If `$ARGUMENTS` is `all`: review all R scripts in `scripts/R/` and `Figures/*/`

2. **For each script, launch the `r-reviewer` agent** with instructions to:
   - Follow the full protocol in the agent instructions
   - Read `.claude/rules/r-code-conventions.md` for current standards
   - Return its report as its final response (ending with the findings `json` block); this skill saves it to `quality_reports/[script_name]_r_review.md` — the agent is read-only

3. **After all reviews complete**, present a summary:
   - Total issues found per script
   - Breakdown by severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low)
   - Top 3 most critical issues

4. **Leave the R source files unchanged** — the report goes to the user, who decides what to fix.
   Only produce reports. Fixes are applied after user review.
