btw: A Toolkit for Connecting R and Large Language Models

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.
