Do you (or does anyone) see possible value in a CI tool that just launches your script directly?

It seems like if you

> 2. Don't have logic in your workflows. Workflows should be dumb and simple (KISS) and they should call your scripts.

then you’re basically working against or despite the CI tool, and at that point maybe someone should build a better or more suitable CI tool.

Can we have a CI tool, that simply takes a Makefile as input? Perhaps takes all targets, that start with "ci" or something.
