Why’d you load that package for?
summary
Built an R tool called annotater R package that automates short comments on library calls and adds titles, functions, versions/sources next to loads so scripts document package purpose, exported functions used, and provenance. A GitHub snapshot of ~500k repos, 4k comments yields concrete examples: many comments note package purpose, pipes, or specific functions. The workflow is implemented and works to generate low‑effort, high‑value annotations for teaching and reproducible analysis.
