Ansible Validator

Overview

Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, and testing Ansible playbooks, roles, and collections. This skill provides automated workflows for ensuring Ansible code quality, syntax validation, dry-run testing with check mode and molecule, and intelligent documentation lookup for custom modules and collections with version awareness.

Default behavior: When validating any Ansible role with a molecule/ directory, attempt Molecule automatically using bash scripts/test_role.sh <role-path>. If Molecule cannot run due to environment/runtime limits, mark Molecule as BLOCKED, report why, and continue all non-Molecule validation steps.

Trigger Guidance

Use this skill when the request is about validating or debugging existing Ansible code, not generating new code.
