Overview

About

Maintained by Christopher T. KennyCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Manage skills for large language model coding agents. Supports installing skills from 'GitHub' or local directories, tracking versions in a lock file, and keeping installations current. Installations can be scoped to a single project or shared globally across projects.

Changes in 0.0.1

add_skill(), check_skills(), find_skill(), init_skill(), list_skills(), remove_skill(), and update_skills() are new functions for managing AI agent skills.
add_skill(), check_skills(), list_skills(), remove_skill(), and update_skills() now default path to NULL. When NULL, the path is resolved from the WF_AGENT environment variable, or by an interactive prompt listing any detected agent directories. Passing a known agent name (e.g., "github_copilot") as path is now also supported as a shorthand for that agent's conventional project-scope path.
skill_path() now supports a "copilot" alias for "github_copilot".
skill_path() now supports Posit AI ("posit_ai", alias "posit") with base directory .positai.

Install

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

install.packages("wf", 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("christopherkenny/wf")

Development version from christopherkenny/wf. 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-wf

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-wf

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-wf

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.
