I'm biased since I built a dbt[1] inspired utility[2] that turns markdown into a runnable DAG, but I think a new language is the wrong abstraction.

In a time where people are reading less and less code, introducing a new surface area -- that you don't have a good feel for -- to handle orchestration feels risky.

Honestly, not far from where I started. The origin of this was "what would a Makefile look like if it built markdown skills?" You'll notice the syntax is very much makefile like.

"new language is the wrong abstraction": I'd resist using "language" as it carries way too much weight here. Closer to your DAG than to a general purpose language.

I guess the way I look at it, if people are reading less and less code, what an agent hands me needs to be small and skimmable. The web tool helps by highlighting ops, and I even built a code to mermaid function (which honestly is there but unused right now) because the skillscripts are generally straightforward.

Skim the examples, I hope you'll see its not that different.
