Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

prefab 0.5.0

• New launch_project() is an interactive project launcher designed to be bound to an editor keyboard shortcut: it prompts for a name via rstudioapi::showPrompt(), builds a path under a configurable root (the home directory by default, slugifying the name), and scaffolds and opens the project with a chosen theme. Set date = TRUE for dated one-off projects (e.g. ~/scratchpad/2026-07-23/name).
• create_project() gains an open argument (default rlang::is_interactive()) controlling whether the new project is activated; follows usethis patterns and fixes VS Code specific bugs.
• small tweaks to r_targets() and claude_r_package() themes

prefab 0.4.0

• change theme_from_dir default strategy to “skip”
• reference CLAUDE.md as source of truth in claude_r_analysis()
• improve documentation

prefab 0.3.0

• Improve agent guidance in claude_r_analysis() and claude_r_targets()
• Add targets-branching skill to files claude_r_targets() deploys

prefab 0.2.0

• New theme_from_dir() creates a theme from a directory of template files, with optional _prefab.yml sidecar for per-file strategy and template data control.
• New load_themes() sources custom theme definitions from a file, with support for the PREFAB_THEMES environment variable and a ~/.prefab-themes.R default.
• step_file() now accepts data = "auto" as a clearer alternative to data = list() for enabling auto-context template rendering.
• claude_r_analysis() and claude_r_targets() gain a settings_json argument to optionally skip deploying settings.json.
• Updated bundled settings.json to make the air formatter hook conditional on air being installed.
• Updated bundled r_analysis.md with guidance on column-wise operations and naming intermediate objects.
