  🎭 A CLI task runner defined by a simple markdown file

  It’s great to see more tools taking advantage of the markdown syntax.

  I’m the creator of Mask[0], a very similar tool built with Rust. I was originally inspired by Maid[1], which is an older take on this idea built with Node and no longer maintained I believe.

  I see this is based on Node as well, and I appreciate that it currently has zero dependencies. Nice work!

  🤖 Just a command runner

  This is an interesting approach. These days I have completely switched to just[0] tool for similar use case.

  Markdown defined task runner.

  Looks nice!

  I used XC for a bit, which does a similar thing, but have since reverted to make. The self-documenting nature of these tools can be very useful.
