Ansible playbooks and roles: ansible-playbook, undefined variable, variable precedence, idempotency, changed tasks, shell task, FQCN, handlers, vault, ansible-lint. Not generic CI/CD rollout. Triggers: ansible-playbook, playbook, inventory, vault, handler, ansible.builtin, ansible-galaxy, плейбук, инвентарь, роль, ансибл.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Ansible Playbook

Write idempotent playbooks and roles. `--check --diff` first, then apply.

Do not replace this skill with Docker-only or GitLab YAML work. For containers inside
the task use `community.docker` here; for `.gitlab-ci.yml` use `gitlab-ci`.

## When to use

- Write/review a playbook, role, inventory, group_vars.
- Task failed, undefined var, wrong host, module missing.
- Vault, secrets, `no_log`.
- Turn manual shell commands into modules.

## Workflow

1. Find the existing inventory and roles. Do not introduce a second style into one repo.
2. State the goal as a state: package present, unit enabled, file 0644.
3. FQCN is mandatory: `ansible.builtin.copy`, not `copy`.
4. Secrets only in vault. `no_log: true` on tasks with passwords.
5. Verify: `ansible-lint`, then
   `ansible-playbook -i inventory play.yml --check --diff`.
6. Apply narrowly: `--limit`, `--tags`. Do not run all of prod "just in case".

## Skeleton

```yaml
---
- name: Configure app hosts
  hosts: app
  become: true
  gather_facts: true
  vars_files:
    - vars/app.yml
  handlers:
    - name: Restart app
      ansible.builtin.service:
        name: app
        state: restarted
  tasks:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nordz0r/skills/ansible-playbook@sha256:4fad58f4c0c344e2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.df0a08f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
