description: |
  Text field to describe what this actor is doing and a potential place
  for documenting the inputs and outputs

In case this is executing something directly this section is required:

execute:
    type: default
    executable: path-to-executable

    script-file: relative-path-to-a-script-in-the-actor-directory
    # path to a file with the special property of being the
    # first argument to the executable specified as executable

    arguments:
        - ...

If this definition just defines a group of actors to be executed, the group field with a list of actor names has to be specified

group:
- actor-name
- another-actor-name
