ansible-role-init

Scaffold an Ansible role by running ansible-galaxy init with your role name and target directory. The skill verifies Ansible is installed, creates the standard directory structure including tasks, handlers, and defaults folders, and reports the role location and next steps for configuration.

Ansible-galaxy init creates a conventional role structure with tasks/main.yml, handlers/main.yml, defaults/main.yml, vars, templates, files, and meta directories. The skill verifies these key files are present and reports their locations after initialization.

Yes, the skill supports optional Fully Qualified Collection Name (FQCN) naming when creating roles via ansible-galaxy init. It resolves both FQCN and plain role names, validates the identifier, and initializes the role with the correct naming convention.

The skill handles existing directories by prompting rather than automatically overwriting them. It validates the environment and your input before executing ansible-galaxy init, ensuring you control whether to proceed or choose a different location.

Yes, the skill performs an environment check to verify Ansible is installed before scaffolding the role. This prerequisite ensures ansible-galaxy init can run successfully to create the standard role structure.

After scaffolding, the skill provides reminders to update role metadata, add tasks to tasks/main.yml, define handlers in handlers/main.yml, and configure default variables in defaults/main.yml to complete your role implementation.
