name: dev-setup description: Initialize development project with Nix flake, direnv, devShell, and LSP configuration

Development Project Setup

Create reproducible, isolated Nix development environments with LSP support.

Required Files

1. flake.nix - Dependencies, outputs, dev shells
2. .envrc - Contains use flake for direnv
3. shell.nix - Dev shell with tooling
4. .claude/settings.local.json - LSP config
