Good to know

Dockerfile available (base image: golang:1.26).
Dev Container config found — you can open it in VS Code Dev Containers or GitHub Codespaces for a zero-setup environment.
Makefile has a make install target — it may automate most of these steps.
justfile found — run just --list to see available tasks.
Has AGENTS.md — instructions for coding agents. You can open Claude Code (or another agent) in the cloned folder and ask it to do the setup for you.
