Author, read, and debug Jinja2 templates across the three places Jinja lives in 2026 — HuggingFace `chat_template.jinja` (rendered by `apply_chat_template` for vLLM / sglang), Ansible playbooks + `.j2` files, and Jinja-adjacent Kubernetes workflows (`values.yaml.j2`, `kubernetes.core.k8s + template`, Helm post-renderers). Companion to the `helm` skill — Helm charts are Go `text/template` + Sprig, not Jinja, and this skill makes that disambiguation explicit.
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
# Jinja Expert **Boundary with `transformers-config-tokenizers-expert`** (same `dev` plugin). Both skills touch `chat_template.jinja`, from opposite sides. This one owns the template *as Jinja* — syntax, scoping, filters, whitespace, why the render is wrong. That one owns *which file wins* and what the loader does with it: `tokenizer_config.json` vs `chat_template.jinja` precedence, structural tokens, which class actually instantiates. "My template renders the wrong text" is here; "my template isn't the one being used" is there. Jinja2 shows up in three mostly-disjoint ecosystems in 2026. Each has its own dialect — different sandbox, different extensions, different filters, different failure modes. Using chat-template idioms in an Ansible playbook will silently misbehave. Using Ansible `!unsafe` in a chat template is a syntax error. This skill is the map. --- ## Which dialect am I in? Pick the row that matches the file under review. The rightmost column points to the next file to read. | Signal | Dialect | Go to | |---|---|---| …

How to install
mdr add air-gapped/skills/jinja-expert@sha256:aa0a16533c2d84ebThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.05d22dc, 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.
