Official Google R coding standards for consistent, maintainable data analysis code.

Quick Reference

Golden Rules

1. Use snake_case — for functions and variables
2. Meaningful names — describe what, not how
3. Limit line length — 80 characters max
4. Comment your code — explain why, not what
5. Use roxygen2 — for function documentation
6. Avoid global state — functions should be pure when possible
7. Use tidyverse — consistent, modern R patterns
