ansible-knowledge-patch

ansible-knowledge-patch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Nevaberry/nevaberry-plugins. It costs 10 tokens per session (1,982 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A version-aware reference guide for Ansible Core, the software that runs Ansible automation playbooks. Playbooks are files that describe repeatable computer-setup and deployment tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for making or reviewing changes to Ansible playbooks, inventories, controller plugins, connection settings, test targets, and dependent modules. It covers topics such as templating, extensions, connections, and privilege handling.
Why use it?
It helps avoid changing configuration or plugin behavior based on outdated Ansible rules. It directs the reader to check the project's pinned version, relevant references, tests, and compatibility adjustments.

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-knowledge-patch 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 4d 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 Core Knowledge Patch

Use this skill when changing Ansible playbooks, inventories, controller plugins, connection settings, test targets, or modules that depend on current ansible-core behavior.

Working Method

  1. Determine the installed or pinned ansible-core version from dependency manifests, execution-environment definitions, or lockfiles.
  2. Inspect the affected playbooks and plugins for the migration points below.
  3. Open the topic reference before changing behavior that depends on an exact configuration name, default, result type, or plugin API.
  4. Prefer project tests and observed runtime behavior when a project carries compatibility shims or backports.

Highest-Priority Migration Checks

Treat templating as trusted and single-pass

  • Jinja expressions in untrusted strings, including facts and module results, are not evaluated merely because the strings contain delimiters.
  • Preserve trust when a plugin transforms a value that is intended to remain a template. Apply trust explicitly when a plugin creates such a value.
  • Remove designs that depend on one template producing another template for a later pass.
  • Do not wrap ordinary conditionals in {{ ... }}. A whole trusted string expression is the narrow exception.

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.
