Example session with this skill installed
Refactor this R script for a linear regression analysis. It currently uses global variables and copy-pasted plotting code. Make it reproducible and modular.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the r engineering
I have refactored the analysis script into a functional workflow. I separated the data simulation, model fitting, and visualization into pure functions and added an explicit seed for reproducibility.
Refactored R Analysis
#' @title Linear Analysis Workflow
#' @description Modularized regression analysis with ggplot2 output.
library(tidyverse)
#' Generate synthetic data with explicit seed
generate_analysis_data <- function(n = 100, seed = 42) {
set.seed(seed)
tibble(
x = rnorm(n),
y = 2 * x + rnorm(n, sd = 0.5)
)
}
#' Fit linear model and return summary
fit_regression_model <- function(base_data) {
lm(y ~ x, data = base_data)
}
#' Generate standardized diagnostic plot
plot_regression_results <- function(base_data, model) {
ggplot(base_data, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
geom_point(alpha = 0.6) +
geom_smooth(method = "lm", color = "royalblue") +
labs(
title = "Linear Regression Analysis",
subtitle = paste("R-squared:", round(summary(model)$r.squared, 3)),
x = "Independent Variable (x)",
y = "Observed Value (y)"
) +

}
# Execution Flow
main <- function() {
data <- generate_analysis_data(n = 150)
model <- fit_regression_model(data)
viz <- plot_regression_results(data, model)
print(summary(model))
return(viz)
}
analysis_plot <- main()
ggsave("regression_output.png", analysis_plot, width = 8, height = 6)
Next steps
- Move these functions into a
utils.Rfile to keep your main execution script clean. - Add unit tests using
testthatto verifygenerate_analysis_datareturns the expected dimensions. - Wrap this into a Quarto (
.qmd) document for automated reporting.
Connects securely to your tools. The creator never sees your data.
About this skill
Messy R scripts and brittle analysis pipelines stall production workflows. This skill transforms interactive R sessions into maintainable, reproducible code for data science and statistical modeling.
What it does
- Standardizes workflows by enforcing consistent project structures across scripts, Quarto reports, and R packages.
- Refactors notebooks by extracting repeated logic into reusable, modular functions to reduce technical debt.
- Optimizes performance through vectorized operations and efficient data manipulation using tidyverse or data.table.
- Ensures reproducibility by making environment dependencies, file paths, and random seeds explicit.
- Debugs pipelines by isolating failures related to data shape, factor levels, and missing value handling.
How it works
- Context analysis where the agent inspects your project layout, dependencies, and style conventions.
- Logic decoupling to separate data ingestion, cleaning, modeling, and visualization into distinct layers.
- Validation against existing test runners or sample data to ensure transformation accuracy.
Frameworks & tools
Built for the R ecosystem including tidyverse, data.table, R Markdown, Quarto, and standard R package development workflows.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic LLM prompts often produce "copy-paste" snippets that ignore R's specific scoping rules and non-standard evaluation quirks. This skill prioritizes reproducibility and package-oriented structures, ensuring code works in a automated CLI environment, not just an IDE.
Use cases
- Converting a loose collection of .R files into a structured, documentable R package.
- Migrating messy Jupyter or Rmd notebooks into production-ready data pipelines.
- Debugging non-deterministic errors in complex statistical simulations.
- Auditing analysis code for proper vectorization and memory efficiency.
Known limitations
Does not support low-level C++/Rcpp integration optimization without specific headers. Requires an existing CRAN or Bioconductor environment for full dependency validation.
