designing-oop-r

designing-oop-r is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from justanesta/claude-code-resources. It costs 93 tokens per session (975 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for designing object-oriented programs in R, including its S3, S4, S7, and vctrs systems for defining custom data types and classes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose an R object system, design class hierarchies, define vector-like data types, or move an existing project between R's class systems.
Why use it?
R offers several overlapping ways to structure objects, so choosing the wrong one can make inheritance, validation, compatibility, or data-frame use harder.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

designing-oop-r scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Designing OOP R

This skill covers object-oriented programming in R, including S7, S3, S4, and vctrs-based classes.

Decision Tree: What Are You Building?

1. Vector-like objects (behave like atomic vectors)

Use vctrs when:

  • Need data frame integration (columns/rows)
  • Want type-stable vector operations
  • Building factor-like, date-like, or numeric-like classes
  • Need consistent coercion/casting behavior
  • Working with existing tidyverse infrastructure

Examples: custom date classes, units, categorical data

2. General objects (complex data structures, not vector-like)

Use S7 when:

  • NEW projects that need formal classes
  • Want property validation and safe property access (@)
  • Need multiple dispatch (beyond S3's double dispatch)
  • Converting from S3 and want better structure
  • Building class hierarchies with inheritance
  • Want better error messages and discoverability

Use S3 when:

  • Simple classes with minimal structure needs
  • Maximum compatibility and minimal dependencies
  • Quick prototyping or internal classes
  • Contributing to existing S3-based ecosystems
  • Performance is absolutely critical (minimal overhead)

Use S4 when:

  • Working in Bioconductor ecosystem
  • Need complex multiple inheritance (S7 doesn't support this)
  • Existing S4 codebase that works well

S7 vs S3 Comparison

Feature S3 S7 When S7 wins
Class definition Informal (convention) Formal (new_class()) Need guaranteed structure
Property access $ or attr() (unsafe) @ (safe, validated) Property validation matters
Validation Manual, inconsistent Built-in validators Data integrity important
Method discovery Hard to find methods Clear method printing Developer experience matters
Multiple dispatch Limited (base generics) Full multiple dispatch Complex method dispatch needed
Inheritance Informal, NextMethod() Explicit super() Predictable inheritance needed
Migration cost - Low (1-2 hours) Want better structure
Performance Fastest ~Same as S3 Performance difference negligible
Compatibility Full S3 Full S3 + S7 Need both old and new patterns

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

designing-oop-r is a skill published in the GitHub repository justanesta/claude-code-resources (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 975 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
