Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No credential access: failed

    Touches credential material in 1 place.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

    What it found

    • skills/ansible-automation/references/inventory-and-variables.md:18SSH private keys or config
      ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/id_rsa

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The Ansible Automation skill enables AI agents to generate and execute playbooks for configuration management, application deployment, and task automation using Ansible. It supports writing idempotent scripts that ensure consistent system states across environments.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive server setup tasks during onboarding new infrastructure
  • Deploying applications consistently across development, staging, and production environments
  • Configuring security policies or software updates across multiple systems simultaneously

Key capabilities

  • Generating Ansible playbooks for infrastructure automation
  • Writing idempotent scripts that ensure consistent system states
  • Supporting deployment workflows with roles and modules

Example prompts

  • "Create an Ansible playbook to install Nginx on a Ubuntu server."
  • "Write a playbook that configures firewall rules across multiple servers."
  • "Generate an Ansible role for deploying a Python web application."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has access to Ansible and the required modules. While it can generate playbooks, testing them in a safe environment is crucial before deployment.
