rdocdump: dump ‘R’ package source, documentation, and vignettes into one file

Abstract

Dump source code, documentation and vignettes of an R package into a single file. Supports installed packages, tar.gz archives, and package source directories. If the package is not installed, only its source is automatically downloaded from CRAN for processing. The output is a single plain text file or a character vector, which is useful to ingest complete package documentation and source into a large language model (LLM) or pass it further to other tools, such as {ragnar} to create a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflow.
