Ansible Host Limiter

About

Enforces a critical safety practice for Ansible by mandating the use of the `-l` (limit) flag on all commands. This skill prevents accidental execution on unintended hosts, such as a Raspberry Pi, by defaulting the target to a primary server (`ndelucca-server`). It requires explicit user confirmation before any multi-host operation, making infrastructure management safer and more predictable, which is crucial when managing environments with diverse operating systems and roles.
