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 | $0.00128 | $0.04320 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00064 | $0.02160 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00864 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00432 |
Grade D, and why
ansible-troubleshooter scanned grade D with 2 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 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
- become/sudo operations Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation
SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 746 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Ansible Troubleshooter Skill
Debug, troubleshoot, and validate Ansible playbooks and roles using Red Hat CoP best practices, ansible-lint, and Molecule.
Troubleshooting Workflow
- Identify the issue - Understand what's failing and where
- Gather information - Use verbosity, logs, debug module
- Isolate the problem - Test specific tasks, use check mode
- Apply the fix - Make targeted changes
- Validate - Ensure fix works and doesn't break other things
- Test idempotence - Verify playbook can run multiple times
Ansible Verbosity Levels
Use -v flags to get more information about execution:
-v (Basic Verbosity)
Shows task results and return values.
ansible-playbook -v playbook.yml
When to use:
- See what tasks are doing
- View task return values
- Understand task outcomes
Output includes:
- Task results (ok/changed/failed)
- Return values from modules
- Basic execution flow
-vv (More Verbosity)
Shows task input parameters.
ansible-playbook -vv playbook.yml
When to use:
- See what parameters are being passed to tasks
- Debug variable interpolation issues
- Understand why a task behaves unexpectedly
Output includes:
- All
-voutput - Task input parameters
- Variable values being used
-vvv (Connection Debug)
Shows connection debugging information.
ansible-playbook -vvv playbook.yml
When to use:
- Debug SSH connection issues
- Investigate authentication problems
- Troubleshoot privilege escalation (become)
- See what's happening at the transport layer
Output includes:
- All
-vvoutput - SSH connection details
- Authentication attempts
- File transfers
- become/sudo operations
-vvvv (Maximum Verbosity)
Shows SSH protocol details and internal Ansible workings.
ansible-playbook -vvvv playbook.yml
When to use:
- Deep protocol debugging
- Understanding Ansible internals
- Reporting bugs to Ansible developers
- Last resort for complex issues
What ships with it
3 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.
- 12d ago First seen · 746 lines · 128 tokens per session scan D be881f55d6ed
ansible-troubleshooter is a skill published in the GitHub repository stoleas/ansible-skills (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 128 tokens to every session and 4,320 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (asks for root, reaches for credential files). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
