SKILL.md

Ansible playbooks declare desired system state rather than imperative commands. The core principle is idempotency: running a playbook multiple times produces the same result without unintended changes.

| Create directory | ansible.builtin.file | state: directory, mode, owner | | Copy file | ansible.builtin.copy | src, dest, mode | | Template | ansible.builtin.template | src, dest, variables in .j2 | | Install package | ansible.builtin.package | name, state: present | | Manage service | ansible.builtin.service | name, state, enabled |

| Run command | ansible.builtin.command | cmd, register result, set changedwhen |

Use when creating playbooks, roles, or inventory files. Use when automating infrastructure with Ansible. Use when encountering YAML syntax errors, module failures, or variable precedence issues. Source: sigridjineth/hello-ansible-skills.
