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.

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 | $0.00045 | $0.00559 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00280 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00112 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00056 |
Grade B, and why
infrastructure-as-code-ansible scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 11d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Ansible Skills
This skill provides access to specialized Ansible workflows for automation tasks. When activated, you can leverage four focused sub-skills for different Ansible scenarios.
Available Workflows
Playbook Development
Use the playbook skill when:
- Creating new playbooks, roles, or inventory files
- Automating infrastructure with Ansible
- Encountering YAML syntax errors, module failures, or variable precedence issues
Shell Script Conversion
Use the convert skill when:
- Converting shell scripts to Ansible playbooks
- Migrating bash automation, manual procedures, or Dockerfiles
- Transforming imperative commands to declarative Ansible tasks
Debugging & Troubleshooting
Use the debug skill when:
- Playbooks fail with UNREACHABLE, permission denied, or MODULE FAILURE errors
- SSH connections fail or sudo password is missing
- Encountering undefined variable or template rendering errors
Interactive Setup & Teaching
Use the interactive skill when:
- Guiding someone through Ansible setup step-by-step
- Starting a new Ansible project from scratch
- Teaching Ansible through hands-on development with continuous validation
Quick Start
Core Principles
All Ansible skills follow these principles:
- Idempotency: Operations can be run multiple times safely
- Declarative: Define desired state, not imperative commands
- FQCN: Use fully qualified collection names (e.g.,
ansible.builtin.copy) - Validation: Test with
--check --diffbefore execution - Incremental: Build and test one component at a time
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.
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.

infrastructure-as-code-ansible is a skill published in the GitHub repository ibm-self-serve-assets/building-blocks (24 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 559 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
