geokit

The goal of geokit is to provide a comprehensive interface for most interactions between R and GEO database.

Installation

You can install the development version of geokit from R-universe (Recommended):

install.packages("geokit",
    repos = c(
        "https://wanglabcsu.r-universe.dev",
        "https://cloud.r-project.org"
    )
)

or from GitHub (Require rust to compile) with:

if (!requireNamespace("pak")) {
    install.packages("pak",
        repos = sprintf(
            "https://r-lib.github.io/p/pak/devel/%s/%s/%s",
            .Platform$pkgType, R.Version()$os, R.Version()$arch
        )
    )
}
pak::pak("WangLabCSU/geokit")

Agent skill

geokit ships an Agent Skills file that teaches AI coding assistants how to use the package effectively — searching GEO, downloading data, parsing metadata, and chatting with LLMs — without reading the full documentation first. The file is served as plain Markdown together with this website, so your assistant can fetch it directly, no installation required:

curl -fsSL https://wanglabcsu.github.io/geokit/skills/geokit/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md

• Skill file: https://wanglabcsu.github.io/geokit/skills/geokit/SKILL.md
• Landing page: https://wanglabcsu.github.io/geokit/skills/geokit/SKILL.html
• Source: pkgdown/assets/skills/geokit/SKILL.md

The file lives in this repository and is deployed with the documentation site, so it stays in sync with the released docs.
