About:
Mask is a command-line task runner that uses Markdown files to define and execute commands. It allows developers to document and run tasks in a human-readable format, keeping command documentation and execution in sync. This approach simplifies project automation and improves team collaboration.
Key Features:
  • Markdown-based task definitions
  • Self-documenting commands
  • Simple and intuitive CLI syntax
  • Cross-platform support
Use Cases:
  • Automating repetitive development tasks
  • Creating standardized project documentation
  • Simplifying onboarding for new team members
Alternatives:
  • Make – Mask uses Markdown instead of Makefiles for more readable task definitions
  • npm scripts – Mask is language-agnostic and doesn't require a package.json file
