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 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 basher83/lunar-claude at e81cabf81e.

    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

This skill provides Ansible error handling capabilities, allowing you to gracefully manage and respond to failures during playbook execution. It enables capturing of error messages, retrying tasks based on conditions, and implementing custom error reporting mechanisms within your automation workflows. This ensures more robust and reliable deployments.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting deployment failures: Identify the root cause of errors in Ansible playbooks quickly and efficiently.
  • Automating rollback procedures: Implement automated rollbacks when tasks fail, minimizing downtime and data loss.
  • Improving playbook reliability: Increase the resilience of your automation by handling errors gracefully and retrying failed tasks.
  • Custom error reporting: Integrate with external systems to send notifications or trigger alerts upon encountering specific errors during Ansible runs.

Key capabilities

  • Error message capture
  • Conditional task retry
  • Custom error reporting

Example prompts

  • "Capture the error message if the 'apt' module fails."
  • "Retry the 'service' task up to 3 times if it returns a non-zero exit code."
  • "Send an email notification when any task in this playbook fails."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires familiarity with Ansible playbook syntax and error handling concepts. Ensure your playbooks are structured to leverage the captured error information effectively for automated remediation or reporting.
