SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides the foundational knowledge and best practices to write high-quality, maintainable, and secure Ansible automation, preventing common pitfalls and ensuring consistent code quality across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Golden Rules: Learn the non-negotiable principles for all Ansible code, including FQCN, uv run usage, and changed_when/failed_when directives.
  • Module Selection Guide: Understand when to use native modules versus command/shell, optimizing for idempotency and cross-platform compatibility.
  • Secure Practices: Implement no_log: true for sensitive tasks and set -euo pipefail for robust shell scripting.
  • Use Case: Write a new Ansible playbook to install and configure a web server, ensuring all tasks follow FQCN, use appropriate modules, and handle sensitive data securely.
