When I got started it was much more difficult as you had to do a lot of manual work to get things started, and you really had to believe the promises that CUE offered (which I did...), but nowadays they've made so many steps in the right direction that getting something going is far quicker!

Here are a few links to whet your appetite:

- https://cue.dev/docs/getting-started-with-github-actions-cue...

- https://cue.dev/docs/drying-up-github-actions-workflows/

- https://cue.dev/docs/spotting-errors-earlier-github-actions-...

Definitely read through the CUE documentation (https://cuelang.org/docs/), watch their YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/@cuelang/videos), and join the community Slack channel (https://cuelang.org/community/). I've gotten a lot of help in the Slack from both enthusiastic community members and from the developers themselves whenever I've gotten stuck.

Maybe it’s just me, but these sample workflows don’t look less complicated, just another kind of complex? If you’re already heavily using CUE in your project this lateral complexity shift might make sense, but I don’t see why I would start using it…

Interesting approach! I can see promise in the vet tooling assuming the module keeps up with GitHub's schema well.

If you had to pick, what's the "killer" feature for you with this module?
