btw_tool_files_edit

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.
