The rstantools package provides various tools for developers of R packages interfacing with Stan (https://mc-stan.org), including functions to set up the required package structure, S3 generic methods to unify function naming across Stan-based R packages, and vignettes with guidelines for developers. To get started building a package see rstan_create_package().
