Use it to organize Ansible projects, sequence playbooks, separate configuration from implementation, and reuse common tasks.

It prevents playbooks, roles, inventories, and variables from being placed inconsistently or run in the wrong order.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00520	$0.00520
Opus 5.5	$0.00208	$0.00208
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00104	$0.00104

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-instructions ansible-architecture.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Ansible Architecture Baseline

Dependencies

For task-execution conventions (task key order, idempotency, and module declarations), defer to ansible-playbook-style.instructions.md.
For role structure and variable-boundary rules, defer to ansible-role.instructions.md.
For ansible.cfg runtime defaults and SSH settings, defer to ansible-config.instructions.md.

Rules

Project layout

When all layered instruction files are active simultaneously, each file's rules govern its own file-type scope.
Apply task-level style rules at the .yml file scope, not the project scope.
Keep orchestration entry points as top-level playbooks directly under the ansible/ root.
Keep implementation logic inside roles under ansible/roles/.
Keep execution order explicit by using numbered top-level playbook filenames when sequencing matters.
Keep inventory and group variable ownership inside ansible/inventory/ and ansible/group_vars/.
Keep a shared common role for reusable OS-specific utilities.
Import common role utilities via tasks_from.
Store environment-specific values in group_vars or role vars files.

Playbook declarations

Keep each top-level playbook focused on a single concern (provisioning, updating, hardening, backup, restore).
Compose multi-step pipelines from separate playbooks via ansible.builtin.import_playbook in a site.yml.

Idempotency

Keep playbooks idempotent so re-runs converge without unintended changes.
Keep every play result deterministic: tasks must reach ok or skipped on a second run with no changed state on the target.

Validation & Tooling

Validate YAML syntax on all playbooks and roles before committing.
Document all ansible-core and ansible-lint versions used in CI/CD or development setup to ensure consistent validation across environments.
For lint governance, ansible-lint configuration, and skip/warn list policy, see ansible-config.instructions.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
