docs: adding install instructions for uv, and gitignore update for vs…

[djtjwillia]

…code

Why?

Clarifying the docs to give instructions on installing uv via brew

What Changed?

Addition to the readme, and an update to the .gitignore

Additional Notes

• Linked relevant spec/task IDs (e.g., tasks/0002-spec-open-source-ready.md)
• Ran tests: uv run pytest
• Ran linters/hooks: uv run pre-commit run --all-files
• Updated docs or prompts if behavior changed

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation

  • Added a clearer TL;DR instructing users to ensure the "uv" tool is installed, with explicit install instructions for macOS and Linux (brew install uv), so prerequisite setup is clearer.

• Chores

  • Updated project configuration to ignore editor workspace files, reducing noise from IDE-specific files in project listings.

Walkthrough

Adds .vscode/ to .gitignore and inserts a TL;DR step in README.md advising users to install uv (suggesting brew install uv for macOS/Linux) before the existing setup steps.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Configuration \.gitignore	Adds .vscode/ entry under Misc to ignore VS Code workspace/settings; preserves surrounding blank line.
Documentation README.md	Inserts a TL;DR step instructing users to ensure uv is installed, mentioning brew install uv for macOS/Linux, as a prerequisite before the existing workflow.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 1 (Trivial) | ⏱️ ~2 minutes

Potential review focus:

• \.gitignore: confirm placement and formatting (blank line preserved).
• README.md: verify wording and the uv install link/command.

Poem

🐰 I hopped through the tree with a nimble shove,
Tucked .vscode/ out of sight with a shove,
Told friends to fetch uv before they start,
Tiny cleanups, a tidy heart. ✨

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Docstring Coverage	⚠️ Warning	Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.	You can run @coderabbitai generate docstrings to improve docstring coverage.

✅ Passed checks (2 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title Check	✅ Passed	The pull request title "docs: adding install instructions for uv, and gitignore update for vs…" is clearly related to the main changes in the changeset. It accurately describes the two primary modifications: adding uv installation instructions to the README and updating the .gitignore file for VS Code. The title is concise and specific enough that a teammate scanning the history would understand the primary changes without needing to review the full diff.
Description Check	✅ Passed	The pull request description follows the required template structure with all three main sections present: "Why?" (clarifying docs with uv brew installation instructions), "What Changed?" (addition to README and .gitignore update), and "Additional Notes" (with the checklist of pre-merge requirements). While the sections are somewhat minimal in detail, they provide the essential information needed to understand the changes. The description is mostly complete and adheres to the template format.

12-14: Good housekeeping. Adding .vscode/ to ignore IDE-generated artifacts is a best practice that prevents unnecessary files from being tracked.

14-14: LGTM!

Adding .vscode/ to .gitignore is a standard best practice for excluding IDE-specific configuration files from version control.

---

1-14: File is correctly formatted—no issues detected.

The .gitignore file ends with a proper newline, has no trailing whitespace, and passes all standard formatting checks. Without actual CI logs, the speculated CI failure cannot be confirmed as related to these changes. The modifications are valid and correct.

Hey @djtjwillia! 👋

Thank you for this contribution! We weren't able to rebase this branch, so we've incorporated your changes into a new PR:

#40 — includes your .vscode/ gitignore addition (with credit to you in the commit).

Regarding the uv install instructions — the README has been updated since this PR was opened and now includes that guidance. We've linked to the specific lines in #40 and asked if you could confirm it covers what you were adding.

Feel free to review and comment on #40 if you'd like any adjustments. Thanks again for helping improve the project! 🙏
