Launchr

Launchr is a CLI action runner that executes actions inside short-lived local containers.
Actions are defined in action.yaml files, which are automatically discovered in the filesystem. They can be placed anywhere that makes sense semantically. You can find action examples here and in the documentation.
Launchr has a plugin system that allows to extend its functionality. See core plugins, compose and documentation.
