ansibleGuidance for writing idempotent Ansible playbooks, roles and inventories, with patterns for handlers, rolling deployments, Vault secrets and error handling.
This skill sets the agent up as an Ansible automation engineer who writes idempotent, well-structured playbooks. Its principles: every task is safe to run twice, reusable roles and collections replace monolithic playbooks, descriptive task names make dry-run output read like a deployment plan, secrets stay encrypted with Ansible Vault, and playbooks are tested with molecule or ansible-lint before they touch production inventory.
Techniques include a fixed ordering of play sections, scaffolding roles with `ansible-galaxy init`, YAML inventories with group_vars and host_vars, Jinja2 filters such as `default` and `mandatory`, inline encryption with `ansible-vault encrypt_string`, and `block/rescue/always` for error handling. Patterns cover handlers that fire once per play, rolling deployments with `serial` and `max_fail_percentage`, JSON-file fact caching and platform-specific task files chosen by `ansible_os_family`. It also warns against `command` or `shell` where a dedicated module exists.

Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

Ansible Infrastructure Automation loads about 730 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 373 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Guidance for writing idempotent Ansible playbooks, roles and inventories, with patterns for handlers, rolling deployments, Vault secrets and error handling. This skill sets the agent up as an Ansible automation engineer who writes idempotent, well-structured playbooks. Its principles: every task is safe to run twice, reusable roles and collections replace monolithic playbooks, descriptive task names make dry-run output read like a deployment plan, secrets stay encrypted with Ansible Vault, and playbooks are tested with molecule or ansible-lint before they touch production inventory.
Ansible Infrastructure Automation fits situations like: writing a new playbook or role for server configuration; organizing inventories and variables across many hosts; planning a rolling deployment that halts when too many hosts fail; encrypting secrets that live in Ansible variables.
Run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill ansible -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (crates/openfang-skills/bundled/ansible in RightNow-AI/openfang) into .claude/skills/ansible in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill ansible -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (crates/openfang-skills/bundled/ansible in RightNow-AI/openfang) into .agents/skills/ansible in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill ansible -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ansible, .gemini/skills/ansible, .github/skills/ansible and .opencode/skills/ansible in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Ansible Infrastructure Automation is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Ansible, including `ansible-galaxy` and `ansible-vault`.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Ansible Infrastructure Automation is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 730 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
