xc

Task runner that defines tasks inline inside your Markdown README

Desktopfree

xc is an open-source task runner that defines project tasks as code blocks inside Markdown or org-mode documentation, so the scripts stay in sync with the docs that describe them. It supports task dependencies and inputs, and integrates with VS Code, Vim, and Emacs. It's built for developers who want a single discoverable source for both project documentation and runnable scripts.
