func main() {
    // Create a simple task
    task := ziva.NewYesNoTask("Test", "Is Ziva installed correctly?")

    // Create queue and add task
    queue := ziva.NewQueue("Ziva Installation Check")
    queue.AddTasks(task)

    // Run
    if err := queue.Run(); err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Check result
    if task.IsYes() {
        fmt.Println("✅ Great! Ziva is ready to work.")
    } else {
        fmt.Println("❌ Installation needs to be checked.")
    }
}
Run it: 
go run main.go
