Actionfile

An Actionfile is a Markdown-based configuration file that describes a set of actions, scripts, or tasks for use in automation workflows, dotfile management, or application deployment. It is designed for human readability and machine parsing, combining documentation, configuration, and executable code blocks in one file.
