Can it help me make my tasks idempotent?

Absolutely. The skill provides patterns and guidance to ensure that tasks only make changes when necessary, making them safe to run multiple times.

Is this skill useful for multi-server environments?

Yes, it includes best practices for inventory management, including group variables and children groups, to help manage complex infrastructure.

Does this skill support Ansible collections?

Yes, it prioritizes the use of Fully Qualified Collection Names (FQCN) to ensure your playbooks are explicit and compatible with the latest Ansible environments.

How does it handle complex role structures?

It follows the standard Ansible role layout, including separate directories for tasks, handlers, defaults, vars, and templates to keep your code organized.

Does it include service management patterns?

Yes, it specifically promotes the use of handlers for service restarts to ensure services are only refreshed when configuration changes occur.
