Overview

About

Maintained by Troy HernandezFirst published 2026-05-054 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Personal wiki engine with a large language model (LLM) as research assistant. Supports guided sessions through a 'Claude Code' https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code skill bundle and autonomous research runs from R via autoresearch(). Results land in a structured vault of markdown pages with 'YAML' frontmatter and wikilinks, ready for hand-editing in your favourite editor alongside the LLM. Vaults are seeded with 'CLAUDE.md' and 'AGENTS.md' so 'Claude Code', 'Codex' https://github.com/openai/codex, and other agents share the same operating instructions. Can adopt an existing 'Obsidian' https://obsidian.md/ vault in place via init_vault(adopt = TRUE).

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-pensar

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-pensar

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-pensar

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
