ansible

ansible is a skill for Claude Code from xobotyi/cc-foundry. It costs 79 tokens per session (4,960 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for using Ansible, a tool that automates server and infrastructure setup through written playbooks. It covers roles, inventories, encrypted secrets, testing, and performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing Ansible playbooks, roles, inventories, vault configuration, collections, execution environments, or tests.
Why use it?
It helps automation produce the intended server state repeatedly without unnecessary changes or unsafe secret handling.

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 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 6d 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

Idempotency is the highest Ansible virtue. Every task must describe desired state, not a sequence of commands.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository xobotyi/cc-foundry (20 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 4,960 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
