+//! # Custom Types: Using Your Own Structs
+//!
+//! This example demonstrates that **ANY custom type** works in dagx as long as it implements
+//! `Clone + Send + Sync + 'static`. You don't need to implement any special traits!
+//!
+//! ## What You'll Learn
+//! - How to use custom structs as task outputs
+//! - How custom types flow through the DAG automatically
+//! - How one task's output can be consumed by multiple downstream tasks
+//! - No trait implementations required (just derive Clone!)
+//!
+//! ## Key Insight
+//!
+//! **dagx works with ANY type automatically!** The `#[task]` macro generates type-specific
+//! extraction logic, so you don't need to implement any special traits. Just make sure your
+//! type implements:
+//! - `Clone` (so it can be extracted from Arc)
+//! - `Send + Sync` (required for async tasks)
+//! - `'static` (no lifetime constraints)
+//!
+//! That's it! No special traits, no annotations, no boilerplate.
+//!
+//! ## Running This Example
+//! ```bash
+//! cargo run --example custom_types
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Expected Output
+//! ```text
+//! Creating custom types example...
+//!
+//! Creating user: Alice (age: 30)
+//! Processing user Alice for greeting
+//! Processing user Alice for validation
+//! Greeting: Hello, Alice!
+//! Validation: Alice is valid (age 30 >= 18)
+//! ```
