  • Discovery & reporting: list_rules, list_tags, analyze_project generate actionable insights across a project.
  • Pre-deployment gate: validate_syntax and check_best_practices ensure code quality before deployment.
  • Use Case: Integrate into CI/CD to fail builds on violations and guide remediation.

Quick Start

Run a quick pre-deployment lint by executing lint_playbook on your Ansible project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I lint Ansible playbooks and roles for syntax correctness before deployment?

You can lint Ansible playbooks and roles to enforce syntax correctness by running targeted validation tools like lint_playbook and lint_role, which check code quality and best-practice adherence before deployment workflows.

What is the best way to automate Ansible quality checks across multiple repositories?

Automating Ansible quality checks across multiple repositories involves using the analyze_project tool to generate actionable insights, validating syntax, and checking best practices to fail CI/CD builds on violations.

Can I use ansible-lint to enforce best practices in a pre-deployment gate?

Yes, you can use ansible-lint in a pre-deployment gate by running validate_syntax and check_best_practices to ensure code quality and enforce best-practice adherence before deploying your Ansible project.

How do I list and filter Ansible linting rules for a specific project tree?

To list and filter Ansible linting rules for a project tree, use the list_rules and list_tags tools which support profiling and filtering to generate structured automation results.

Do I need ansible-lint installed in my environment to lint Ansible code?

Yes, you need ansible-lint installed and accessible in your environment to lint Ansible code, as the Skill requires this dependency to validate syntax correctness and enforce best practices.

Why does my Ansible role fail best-practice checks during CI/CD automation?

Ansible roles fail best-practice checks during CI/CD automation when check_best_practices detects violations, outputting structured results that identify specific syntax or adherence issues to guide remediation.
