This actually reminds me a lot of Gauge from Thoughtworks: https://github.com/getgauge/gauge It's typically paired with Taiko for test automation, but generally speaking it's a markdown to logical instruction engine. I dig it, but also worth taking a look at what the Thoughtworks team has done especially around the VS Code tooling and language server work that they did to bring intellisense into their Markdown templates.

We are struggling, philosophically, with anti telemetry posts (like this one). We are turning on telemetry in the next release for our open source tool. https://github.com/getgauge/gauge We are small team with limited resources. In our tool, it's easy to turn telemetry off, inspect what data is sent and the data collected is public. The data "really" helps to make the tool better and an opt-in skews the data. We've published an blog post https://blog.getgauge.io/why-we-collect-data-b19df366b677 and will put it up in the release notes and the download section. What else can be done so that users don't blow up?
