Check DESCRIPTION's Authors@R usage — cl_check_authors

Flags a missing Authors@R field, and flags manually-specified Author/Maintainer fields that disagree with what R would generate from Authors@R – per the CRAN Cookbook, that disagreement results in automatic rejection.

Usage

cl_check_authors_r(path = ".")

Arguments

path: Path to the package root. Defaults to the current directory.

Value

A tibble following the cranlint check-result contract; see AGENTS.md.

Examples

pkg_dir <- cl_example_pkg(
  description = c(
    Author = "Someone Else",
    Maintainer = "Someone Else <someone@example.com>"
  )
)
cl_check_authors_r(pkg_dir)
