+LocalStack Extensions Utils
+===========================
+
+A utility library providing common functionality for building [LocalStack Extensions](https://github.com/localstack/localstack-extensions).
+
+## Usage
+
+To use this library in your LocalStack extension, add it to the `dependencies` in your extension's `pyproject.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[project]
+dependencies = [
+    "localstack-extensions-utils",
+]
+```
+
+Or, to install directly from the GitHub repository:
+
+```toml
+[project]
+dependencies = [
+    "localstack-extensions-utils @ git+https://github.com/localstack/localstack-extensions.git#subdirectory=utils",
+]
+```
+
+Then import the utilities in your extension code, for example:
+
+```python
+from localstack_extensions.utils import ProxiedDockerContainerExtension
+
+...
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+This library requires LocalStack to be installed as it uses various LocalStack utilities for Docker management and networking.
+
+## License
+
+The code in this repo is available under the Apache 2.0 license.
