What is the benefit of the 'Task Router' pattern recommended by this skill?

By using tasks/main.yml primarily to include other feature-specific task files, your roles become much easier to read, maintain, and debug as they grow in complexity.

How does this skill help with Ansible variable precedence?

It provides clear guidance on using defaults/main.yml for user-configurable options (lowest precedence) versus vars/main.yml for internal constants, preventing common configuration conflicts and making roles more flexible.

Does this skill support multi-OS Ansible roles?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for loading OS-specific variables and splitting tasks based on the target operating system family, such as Debian or RedHat.

Can I use this skill to refactor existing Ansible roles?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to help you analyze existing monolithic roles and reorganize them into standard, production-grade structures for better long-term maintainability.

Standardizes the creation of production-grade Ansible roles using industry-leading directory structures and variable management patterns.

소개

This skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge to design and organize Ansible roles based on patterns derived from high-quality production environments. It guides users through creating robust directory structures, properly separating user-configurable defaults from internal variables, and implementing task routing for superior readability. Whether you are bootstrapping a new project or refactoring legacy automation, this skill ensures your Infrastructure as Code is maintainable, portable, and follows the proven conventions used by top community contributors like Jeff Geerling.
