You can use a helper to translate a function from R. If you want to add read_biomes, just run

uv run python helpers/translate_from_R.py read_biomes

It will scrape the original R function to get documentation and metadata. It adds:

• default year
• function name
• documentation one liner
• larger documentation
• very basic tests

! Be aware that if the function that you are adding is more complicated than the template. So, always double check !
