Use when code loads or uses freestiler, working with .pmtiles files, creating or serving PMTiles vector tilesets in R, or preparing spatial data for mapgl/MapLibre visualization

Use when code loads mapgl or freestiler, working with .pmtiles files, creating interactive maps in R, choosing between R mapping packages, or working with large spatial datasets for visualization

Use when code loads or uses mcptools (library(mcptools), mcptools::), connecting AI agents to R sessions via MCP, or exposing R as an MCP server for Claude Code or VS Code

Use when code loads or uses ragnar (library(ragnar), ragnar::), implementing RAG in R, creating vector stores, embedding documents for semantic search, or building retrieval pipelines
