ansible is a cursor rule for Cursor from sibilleb/AAP-Enterprise-MCP-Server. It costs 0 tokens per session (7,046 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to organizing and writing Ansible automation projects. Ansible is a tool that configures computers and runs infrastructure tasks from written instructions called playbooks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing Ansible project folders, writing reusable playbooks and roles, managing inventories and variables, testing changes, and applying coding standards.
Why use it?
It provides shared standards for structure, security, testing, performance, and common mistakes, making automation easier to maintain.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

ansible 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 9d 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.

  • Adopt and adhere to the following Ansible best practices to ensure maintainable, reusable, and efficient automation code. This guide provides standards for code organization, common patterns, performance optimization, security, testing, tooling, and common pitfalls to avoid.

1. Code Organization and Structure

  • Structure your Ansible projects in a clear and consistent manner to enhance readability and maintainability.

1.1 Directory Structure Best Practices

  • Root Directory:
    • ansible.cfg: Ansible configuration file. This should live in the root directory of your project.
    • inventory/: Contains your inventory files (hosts, groups, and variables).
      • hosts: Main inventory file.
      • group_vars/: Directory for group-specific variables.
        • all/: Contains variables that apply to all hosts.
          • vars.yml: Primary file for common variables.
          • vault.yml: Encrypted variables.
        • <group_name>/: Directory for variables specific to a group.
          • vars.yml: Group-specific variables.
          • vault.yml: Encrypted group variables.
      • host_vars/: Directory for host-specific variables.
        • <host_name>/: Directory for a specific host.
          • vars.yml: Host-specific variables.
          • vault.yml: Encrypted host variables.
    • playbooks/: Directory for your Ansible playbooks.
      • site.yml: Main playbook, orchestrating other playbooks.
      • <environment>.yml: Playbooks tailored to different environments (e.g., staging.yml, production.yml).
      • <component>.yml: Playbooks for specific components (e.g., webservers.yml, databases.yml).
    • roles/: Directory for reusable Ansible roles.
      • <role_name>/:
        • tasks/: Contains tasks for the role.
          • main.yml: Entry point for the role's tasks.
        • handlers/: Contains handlers for the role.
          • main.yml: Entry point for the role's handlers.
        • defaults/: Contains default variable values for the role.
          • main.yml: Default variable values.
        • vars/: Contains role-specific variables.
          • main.yml: Role-specific variables.
        • meta/: Contains metadata about the role.
          • main.yml: Role metadata (e.g., dependencies, author).
        • templates/: Contains Jinja2 templates for the role.
        • files/: Contains static files used by the role.
    • library/: (Optional) Custom Ansible modules.
    • filter_plugins/: (Optional) Custom Jinja2 filter plugins.
    • lookup_plugins/: (Optional) Custom lookup plugins.
    • plugins/: All of the above (library, filter, lookup, etc) should be placed in respective subfolders in this directory
    • requirements.yml: Lists roles to be downloaded from Ansible Galaxy.
    • README.md: Project documentation.

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.
