Can I use this for multi-platform infrastructure?

Absolutely. It includes design patterns for conditional execution based on OS families like Debian or RedHat, allowing one role to support multiple environments.

Does it enforce Ansible best practices?

Yes, it prioritizes the use of Fully Qualified Collection Names (FQCN), descriptive task naming, and strategic tagging for better maintainability.

Does this skill support ansible-galaxy?

Yes, it includes instructions for initializing roles using both the official ansible-galaxy init command and manual directory creation.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability that provides domain-specific guidance and implementation patterns to Claude, enhancing its behavior for specific technical tasks.

How does it help with idempotency?

The skill provides patterns for using Ansible modules that check existing state before execution, ensuring that playbooks only make changes when necessary.
