title: 'btw: A Toolkit for Connecting R and Large Language Models'
version: 1.2.1.9000
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.btw
abstract: 'A complete toolkit for connecting ''R'' environments with Large Language
  Models (LLMs). Provides utilities for describing ''R'' objects, package documentation,
  and workspace state in plain text formats optimized for LLM consumption. Supports
  multiple workflows: interactive copy-paste to external chat interfaces, programmatic
  tool registration with ''ellmer'' chat clients, batteries-included chat applications
  via ''shinychat'', and exposure to external coding agents through the Model Context
  Protocol. Project configuration files enable stable, repeatable conversations with
  project-specific context and preferred LLM settings.'
