If I want this then I usually write a guix.scm file, and use "guix shell -Df guix.scm" to enter my shells, and "guix build" to make sure it builds. This also makes sure that the build and test instructions work. In reality, I most often enter my shells using direnv[1]/envrc.el[2], so that makes --pure and --container much less appropriate.
