  "why_use_this": "Keeps project-specific env vars (secrets, tool versions, PATH overrides) in .envrc files instead of cluttering your shell profile. Integrates seamlessly with any POSIX shell and supports directives for Ruby, Node, Python, and more. Essential for multi-project workflows where different projects need conflicting env setups."
