Does this skill support complex inventory files?

Yes, it assists in organizing host groups, variables, and child groups within both INI and YAML inventory formats for scalable infrastructure management.

What is the benefit of idempotency in these playbooks?

Idempotency ensures that running a playbook multiple times results in the same state without making unnecessary changes, preventing configuration drift and errors.

How does the Ansible Playbooks skill improve automation?

It provides Claude with domain-specific knowledge to generate modular, idempotent, and well-structured Ansible code that follows professional DevOps standards.

Can I use this skill to create reusable Ansible roles?
