# Tubeless

> Typed pipeline primitives for composable data-processing workflows.

Tubeless by Chet Mancini is a dependency-free TypeScript library for typed data
pipelines and multi-step CLI workflows. Define dependencies, preview execution,
and inspect step results. Version: 0.2.2.

## When to use Tubeless

Use it for typed imports and ETL, dependency-ordered validation and publication,
and observable CLI programs. It runs in your process; it is not a hosted API or
a durable execution engine with crash recovery or distributed scheduling.

or plan before execution, and obtain authorization for external side effects.
