title: 'hal: Agentic Coding Assistants'
version: 0.1.4
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.hal
abstract: A native R interface to agentic coding assistants. Talks directly to local
  command line interfaces ('GitHub Copilot', 'Anthropic' 'Claude Code') over standard
  input/output and to a local 'vscode.lm' bridge inside 'Positron', providing multi-model
  chat, tool calling, and in-session R evaluation. Supports a single stateful hal()
  session as well as disposable hal_ask() / hal_do() pipeline verbs, plot capture
  so models can see graphics, verified data transforms, and user-defined tools.
