A guide for generating Ansible automation files. Ansible is a tool that configures servers and runs repeatable deployment tasks from text files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or scaffold Ansible playbooks, roles, inventories, tasks, handlers, variables, configuration files, dependency files, or short Ansible snippets.
Why use it?
It helps turn a deployment or administration request into the appropriate playbook, role, inventory, variables, handlers, or project structure while choosing the right generation approach.

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-generator 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (test/test_fixture_regressions.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 207 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ansible Generator

Trigger Phrases

Use this skill when the request is to generate or scaffold Ansible content, for example:

  • "Create a playbook to deploy nginx with TLS."
  • "Generate an Ansible role for PostgreSQL backups."
  • "Write inventory files for prod and staging."
  • "Build reusable Ansible tasks for user provisioning."
  • "Initialize an Ansible project with ansible.cfg and requirements.yml."
  • "Give me a quick Ansible snippet to install Docker."

Do not use this skill as the primary workflow when the request is validation/debug-only (syntax errors, lint failures, Molecule/test failures). Use ansible-validator for those cases.

Deterministic Execution Flow

Run these stages in order. Do not skip a stage unless the Validation Exceptions Matrix explicitly allows it.

Stage 0: Classify Request Mode

Determine one mode first:

Mode Typical user intent Deliverable
full-generation "create/build/generate" a full playbook/role/inventory/project file set Complete file(s), production-ready
snippet-only "quick snippet/example" without full file context Focused task/play snippet
docs-only explanation, pattern comparison, or conceptual guidance only Explanatory content, optional examples

Stage 1: Collect Minimum Inputs

If details are missing, ask briefly. If the user does not provide them, proceed with safe defaults and state assumptions.

Resource type Required inputs Safe defaults if missing
Playbook target hosts, privilege (become), OS family, objective hosts: all, become: false, OS-agnostic modules
Role role name, primary service/package, supported OS role name from task domain, Debian + RedHat vars
Tasks file operation scope, required vars, execution context standalone reusable tasks with documented vars
Inventory environments, host groups, hostnames/IPs production/staging groups with placeholders
Project config collections/roles dependencies, lint policy minimal ansible.cfg, requirements.yml, .ansible-lint

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.
