themakR provides the pkgdown template for the
CTTIR package suite: the Hugo Coder
palette of the suite site (light #fafafa / dark #212121, blue link
accent) with a native light/dark/auto toggle at the top right, Inter for
text, JetBrains Mono for code, the package hex at the top left, a
rotemplate-style navbar and home sidebar, and a shared suite footer.
It plays the same role for CTTIR packages that tidytemplate plays for the tidyverse and rotemplate for rOpenSci: it is not a general-purpose theme and is not on CRAN — it installs from GitHub and exists so the family of sites looks like a family.

Where applicable, LLM tools were used for narrowly defined, non-authorial tasks: copyediting, prose refinement, Markdown/LaTeX formatting, boilerplate scaffolding (such as CI configurations and build scripts), and code refactoring. Tools included Chat AI, the KISSKI (GWDG) service, and self-hosted Mistral Small (24B, Apache-2.0) served through a local vLLM architecture on an Ubuntu Linux workstation with Intel processors and NVIDIA GPUs. The self-hosted model ran locally, with no data sent to third parties.
All scientific claims, methodological choices, analyses, interpretations and conclusions remain the authors' own. Where applicable, LLM-generated material must be reviewed and revised before inclusion, and references must be verified against their DOI, arXiv ID or ISBN.
Local software setup: vLLM with Python/PyTorch, plus R and RStudio.
Editable R artwork and regeneration instructions are in tools/branding.
