+'Features' are self-contained units of installation code and development container configuration. Features are designed to install atop a wide-range of base container images (**this repo focuses on `debian` based images**).
+
+Missing a CLI or language in your otherwise _perfect_ container image? Add the relevant 'feature' to the `features` property of a [`devcontainer.json`](https://containers.dev/implementors/json_reference/#general-properties).
+
+The [`devcontainer` CLI](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli), implemented by the VS Code Remote-Containers extension and Github Codespaces, is required to process a `devcontainer.json` and build a container images declaring 'features'.
+
+Development container 'features' are a [proposed](https://github.com/devcontainers/spec/blob/main/proposals/devcontainer-features.md) addition to the [development container specification](https://github.com/devcontainers/spec/blob/main/proposals/devcontainer-features.md). **Please note that 'features' are in preview and subject to breaking changes**.

+- [`lib`](lib) - A collection of tools, scripts, and shared configuration used generally by this repo's features.
+- [`src`](src) - A collection of subfolders, each declaring a feature. Each subfolder contains at least a `feature.json` and the appropriately declared install script.
+- [`test`](test) - Mirroring `src`, a folder-per-feature with at least a `test.sh` script. The [`devcontainer` CLI](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli) will execute tests [of this form](https://github.com/devcontainers/features/blob/main/.github/workflows/test-all.yaml).
+- [`test-scenarios`](test-scenarios) - More complex scenarios involving a set of features from this repo. [`devcontainer` CLI](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli) will execute tests [of this form](https://github.com/devcontainers/features/blob/main/.github/workflows/test-scenarios.yaml).
+
+## Usage
+
+To reference a feature from this repository, add the desired features to a `devcontainer.json`.
+
+The example below installs the `go` and `docker-in-docker` declared in the [`./src`](./src) directory of this repository.
+
+See the relevant feature's README for supported options.
+
+```jsonc
+"image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu",  // Any generic, debian-based image.
+features: {
+    "devcontainers/features/go@latest": {
+        "version": "1.18"
+    },
+    "devcontainers/features/docker-in-docker@latest": {
+        "version": "latest",
+        "moby": true
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The `@latest` version annotation is added implicitly if omitted. To pin to a specific [release tag](https://github.com/devcontainers/features/releases), append it to the end of the feature.
+
+```jsonc
+features: {
+    "devcontainers/features/go@v0.0.2": {
+        "version": "1.18"
+    },
 ```
