+## Development
+
+This repo uses [Task](https://taskfile.dev) as its task runner. After cloning:
+
+```bash
+task install:tools   # installs github.com/mfridman/tparse
+task                 # vet + tests
+```
+
+Common targets:
+
+| Task              | What it does                          |
+| ----------------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| `task`            | `vet` + `test` (the default)          |
+| `task test`       | `go test ./...` piped through tparse  |
+| `task test:race`  | tests under the race detector         |
+| `task vet`        | `go vet ./...`                        |
+| `task fmt`        | `gofmt -w .`                          |
+| `task tidy`       | `go mod tidy`                         |
