Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, testing, and automating Ansible playbooks, roles, and collections. Use this skill when working with Ansible files (.yml, .yaml playbooks, roles, inventories), validating automation code, debugging playbook execution, performing dry-run testing with check mode, or working with custom modules and collections.
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 Validator ## Overview Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, and testing Ansible playbooks, roles, and collections. Ensures code quality through syntax validation, lint enforcement, dry-run testing, automatic molecule testing for roles, and intelligent documentation lookup for custom modules with version awareness. **Key Behavior:** Molecule tests run automatically for roles with `molecule/` directories. If blocked by environment issues, document the blocker and continue with other validation steps. ## Quick Start ```bash ./scripts/setup_tools.sh # diagnose required tools ./scripts/validate_playbook.sh playbook.yml # syntax + yamllint + ansible-lint ./scripts/validate_role.sh roles/webserver/ # structure + syntax + lint ``` ## Validation Workflow Follow this decision tree for comprehensive Ansible validation: ``` 0. Tool Prerequisites Check (RECOMMENDED for first-time validation) └─> Run bash scripts/setup_tools.sh for diagnostics 1. Identify Ansible files in scope ├─> Single playbook / role / collection / multi-playbook validation 2. Syntax Validation ├─> Run ansible-playbook --syntax-check …

How to install
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/ansible-validator@sha256:33ca81e54c924334The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.6ed2a6a, 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.
