ansible-authoring-guide

Walks the agent through writing, reviewing and refactoring Ansible automation — playbooks, roles, task files, inventory variables and Jinja2 templates — covering project layout, role and variable placement, play structure, task keyword order, full collection names for modules, loop control, boolean conversion and truth testing, default and undefined-variable handling, template whitespace and macros, serialised config generation, and idempotent change reporting, verified with ansible-lint and a syntax check before delivery. Use when the user asks to create or modify a playbook or role, edit Ansible tasks, organise variables, review or refactor Ansible code, or debug boolean, default or undefined-variable behaviour. Not for executing playbooks against hosts, provisioning cloud infrastructure, or managing the Ansible installation.
