 "summary": "Detect databases in running Docker or Podman containers and open one in the client.",
 "who": "A developer whose test database runs in a container and who does not remember its port or name.",
 "problem": "Looking up container ports and credentials by hand each time wastes time during local work.",
 "outcome": "Masume lists the databases it finds, and you open one with a click or key press.",
 "steps": [
  "Start the Docker or Podman container that runs your database",
  "Run `masume --detect` to list databases in running containers and in the current kubectl context",
  "Choose the database from the list and connect",
  "Run a query to confirm you are on the expected database"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the masume repo, run `masume --detect` and report the databases it lists. Expected output: a list of detected databases. Verify that the database you expect appears, and that the container is running.",

 "lang": "go",
 "requirements": [
  "A terminal on macOS, Linux, or Windows",
