The \pkg{rstantools} package provides various tools for developers of \R
packages interfacing with Stan (\url{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
\code{\link[=rstan_create_package]{rstan_create_package()}}.
