ansible-role-design

ansible-role-design is a skill for Claude Code from basher83/lunar-claude. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,401 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of conventions for organizing Ansible roles, which are reusable collections of server-configuration tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps structure roles with separate defaults, operating-system values, installation steps, configuration tasks, service handlers, and documentation.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork about where variables, tasks, templates, files, handlers, and dependencies should live in a role.

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-role-design 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 8d 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 Role Design

Production-grade role structure patterns derived from analysis of 7 geerlingguy roles.

Standard Directory Structure

Every Ansible role follows this organizational pattern:

role-name/
├── defaults/
│   └── main.yml          # User-configurable defaults (lowest precedence)
├── vars/
│   ├── Debian.yml        # OS-specific internal values
│   └── RedHat.yml
├── tasks/
│   ├── main.yml          # Task router
│   ├── install.yml       # Feature-specific tasks
│   └── configure.yml
├── handlers/
│   └── main.yml          # Event-triggered tasks
├── templates/
│   └── config.conf.j2    # Jinja2 templates
├── files/
│   └── static-file.txt   # Static files
├── meta/
│   └── main.yml          # Role metadata, dependencies
└── README.md             # Documentation

Directory Purposes

Directory Purpose Precedence
defaults/ User-overridable values Lowest
vars/ Internal/OS-specific values High
tasks/ Ansible tasks N/A
handlers/ Service restarts, reloads N/A
templates/ Jinja2 config files N/A
files/ Static files to copy N/A
meta/ Galaxy info, dependencies N/A

When to Omit Directories

Only create directories that are actually needed:

  • Omit templates/ if using only lineinfile or copy
  • Omit handlers/ if role doesn't manage services
  • Omit vars/ if no OS-specific differences
  • Omit files/ if no static files to copy

Task Organization

Main Task File as Router

Use tasks/main.yml as a routing file that includes feature-specific files:

# tasks/main.yml
---
- name: Include OS-specific variables
  ansible.builtin.include_vars: "{{ ansible_os_family }}.yml"

- name: Install packages
  ansible.builtin.include_tasks: install.yml

- name: Configure service
  ansible.builtin.include_tasks: configure.yml

- name: Setup users
  ansible.builtin.include_tasks: users.yml
  when: role_users | length > 0

Files

What ships with it

5 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.

Changes

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-role-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository basher83/lunar-claude (23 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 2,401 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
