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 | $0.00097 | $0.04055 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.02027 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00811 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00405 |
Grade C, and why
ansible-scaffold-ee scanned grade C 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 12d 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Ansible Execution Environment Scaffolding Skill
Scaffold complete Ansible Execution Environments (EE) using ansible-builder, following Red Hat best practices for containerized Ansible automation.
What is an Execution Environment?
An Execution Environment (EE) is a containerized runtime for Ansible that includes:
- Ansible Core/Engine
- Ansible Collections
- Python dependencies
- System dependencies
- Custom modules and plugins
- Runtime configuration
Benefits:
- Consistency - Same environment everywhere (dev, test, prod)
- Isolation - Dependencies don't conflict with host system
- Portability - Works on any container platform
- Reproducibility - Version-controlled runtime
- Speed - Pre-built dependencies, faster execution
Use Cases:
- Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) / AWX
- CI/CD pipelines
- Multi-environment automation
- Complex dependency management
- Kubernetes/OpenShift automation

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.

ansible-scaffold-ee is a skill published in the GitHub repository stoleas/ansible-skills (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 4,055 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
