creating-ansible-playbooks

Quick Review

This skill provides a generic DevOps workflow template that has been minimally customized for Ansible playbook creation. While it references useful scripts (validate_playbook.py, secure_playbook.py, test_playbook.sh) and templates, the SKILL.md itself lacks Ansible-specific guidance. The description is vague ('work with Ansible automation'), and the 5-step workflow (Assess, Design, Implement, Validate, Deploy) is too generic and could apply to any infrastructure task. A CLI agent would struggle to understand what Ansible-specific actions to take, what playbook patterns to use, or how to leverage Ansible best practices. The structure is clear but the content doesn't demonstrate meaningful Ansible expertise. Novelty is low because basic playbook creation is well within a modern LLM's capabilities without needing a specialized skill. To improve: add Ansible-specific workflows (inventory management, role structure, variable precedence, idempotency patterns), concrete playbook examples, module selection guidance, and clearer integration with the validation/security scripts.
