Package: checktor 0.1.0

James Joseph Balamuta

checktor: Extra CRAN Submission Checks

Provides automated checks for common Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) submission issues that are not caught by standard 'R CMD check'. Consolidates ad-hoc requirements that CRAN reviewers enforce but standard checks do not surface, helping 'R' package maintainers identify and fix issues before submission to reduce rejection rates. Covers code-pattern issues, DESCRIPTION-field formatting, documentation problems, and general package structure concerns.
