## What it is
cargo-make is a Rust task runner and build tool that lets developers define and run task flows via TOML-based Makefile.toml files. It works both as a cargo plugin (cargo make) and as a standalone executable (makers), supporting task dependencies, cross-platform scripts, and CI integration.

## Use cases
- run build, test, and lint tasks with a single command
- define cross-platform build scripts for Rust projects
- replace make with a TOML-based task runner
- automate CI pipelines for Rust workspaces
- run tasks with dependencies and aliases
- execute duckscript or rust code as build steps

## When to choose
- you maintain a Rust project and want a standardized task runner
- you need cross-platform build automation without shell-specific scripts
- you want task dependencies, overrides, and predefined flows in TOML

## When to avoid
- your project is not Rust-based and you prefer a language-agnostic runner like just or make
- you need a minimal toolchain with no extra binary dependencies
