# Yaml Workflow Executor

## Quick Start

```yaml
# config/workflows/analysis.yaml
task: analyze_data

input:
  data_path: data/raw/measurements.csv

output:
  results_path: data/results/analysis.json

parameters:
  filter_column: status
  filter_value: active
```

```python
from workflow_executor import execute_workflow

# Execute workflow
result = execute_workflow("config/workflows/analysis.yaml")
print(f"Status: {result['status']}")
```

```bash
# CLI execution
python -m workflow_executor config/workflows/analysis.yaml --verbose
```

## When to Use

- Running analysis defined in YAML configuration files
- Executing data processing pipelines from config
