Overview

About

Maintained by Arjun RajCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Static analysis for R scientific data analysis code. Flags patterns that often correspond to hidden scientific commitments -- silent error swallowing, smuggled defaults, label leakage in selection-stage code, magic-eps floors in 'BIC' formulas, and shadow-overwrite of sourced helpers. Designed for agentic coding workflows; high recall over precision; structured 'ANALYSIS_OK' waivers as the audit trail.

Changes in 0.1.1

Initial CRAN release.
Static analysis for R scientific data-analysis code, flagging patterns that often correspond to hidden scientific commitments: silent error swallowing, smuggled defaults, label leakage in selection-stage code, magic-eps floors in BIC formulas, and shadow-overwrite of sourced helpers.
User-facing entry points: lint_file(), lint_project(), and the CLI wrapper main().
Structured ANALYSIS_OK[...] waivers provide an in-source audit trail for intentionally-accepted findings.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("scilintr", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("arjunrajlaboratory/scilintr")

Development version from arjunrajlaboratory/scilintr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-scilintr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-scilintr

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-scilintr

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
