The base R function `package.skeleton()` is very useful for creating new

packages for R. It is also very upsetting as it has been producing the same

files which trigger `R CMD check` in the exact same way.

And as something terrible happens each time `R CMD check` barks, this package

offers a wrapper function `kitten()` which leaves an adorable little package

behind which does not upset `R CMD check`.

So just think of the kittens.

### Installation

The package is on [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org) and can be installed

via a standard

```r

install.packages("pkgKitten")

```
