Problem Statement

All of my personal and work projects use dev containers. Up until now we've been using VS Code or Cursor to work on them. I was very disappointed to find Claude Code doesn't support dev containers.

Proposed Solution

Remote SSH support is already there, so hopefully this means it's not a big stretch to extend that further to dev container support.

Use Case Example

Example: A web app written in a specific version of PHP & apache, with specific modules required. Not something I want to setup on my host machine. Dev containers to the rescue.
