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 passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • 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 credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

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

  • 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 sigridjineth/hello-ansible-skills at 3062baada5.

    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-debug skill allows an AI agent to execute Ansible debug commands within a playbook run. This enables the agent to inspect variable values, task execution details, and other runtime information for troubleshooting or verification purposes. It provides visibility into the inner workings of Ansible playbooks, aiding in debugging complex automation tasks.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting Playbook Errors: When an Ansible playbook fails, use this skill to examine variables and task states leading up to the failure point.
  • Verifying Variable Values: Confirm that variables are being set correctly within a playbook before they're used in subsequent tasks.
  • Understanding Task Execution Flow: Gain insight into the order of task execution and any conditional logic impacting the workflow.
  • Debugging Conditional Statements: Inspect variable values to understand why when clauses or other conditionals are evaluating as expected (or not).

Key capabilities

  • Executes Ansible debug commands (debug:)
  • Provides runtime visibility into playbook variables
  • Displays task execution details during playbook runs.

Example prompts

  • "Run the ansible-debug skill and show me the value of the 'http_host' variable."
  • "Use ansible-debug to display the output of the previous task in this playbook."
  • "Execute ansible-debug and print the current iteration number for a loop."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires an active Ansible execution environment (e.g., a running playbook).
  • The agent needs appropriate permissions to execute commands within the Ansible environment.
