Claude Code Ansible Skill for Idempotent Playbooks
Preview a desired file change and confirm that running the same playbook again leaves the resulting state stable.
中文Install in Claude Code
Use Ansible with an inventory limited to a scratch host or local connection. Point the task at a temporary directory.
- Get the complete `plugins/devops/ansible-playbook-creator/skills/creating-ansible-playbooks` directory from the pinned GitHub checkout.
- Copy it under the target project's `.claude/skills/`. Confirm `.claude/skills/creating-ansible-playbooks/SKILL.md`, open Claude Code at the project root, and call `/creating-ansible-playbooks`.
Example task
Manage `book-app.conf` with the single line `mode=preview`. Inspect the diff and apply the playbook twice in the scratch environment.What to check
The first apply creates the expected file. The second apply reports no changes while the file already matches.
