Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00033 | $0.00551 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00220 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00110 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00055 |
Grade A, and why
ansible-automation 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 2mo 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 Automation
Table of Contents
Overview
Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment across multiple servers using Ansible playbooks, roles, and dynamic inventory management.
When to Use
- Configuration management
- Application deployment
- Infrastructure patching and updates
- Multi-server orchestration
- Cloud instance provisioning
- Container management
- Database administration
- Security compliance automation
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
# site.yml - Main playbook
---
- name: Deploy application stack
hosts: all
gather_facts: yes
serial: 1 # Rolling deployment
pre_tasks:
- name: Display host information
debug:
var: inventory_hostname
tags: [always]
roles:
- common
- docker
- application
post_tasks:
- name: Verify deployment
uri:
url: "http://{{ inventory_hostname }}:8080/health"
status_code: 200
retries: 3
delay: 10
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices
✅ DO
- Use roles for modularity
- Implement proper error handling
- Use templates for configuration
- Leverage handlers for idempotency
- Use serial deployment for rolling updates
- Implement health checks
- Store inventory in version control
- Use vault for sensitive data
What ships with it
6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

ansible-automation is a skill published in the GitHub repository aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts (376 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 551 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
