Ansible Validator

This is a comprehensive Ansible quality gate that runs syntax checks, linting, security scans, and Molecule tests in a single pass. The workflow is deterministic and bulletproof: if Docker isn't available for Molecule or Checkov isn't installed, it marks those stages as blocked and continues with everything else instead of failing early. It's especially useful for catching non-FQCN module usage (like `apt` instead of `ansible.builtin.apt`) and includes dual secret scanning with both Checkov and a dedicated secrets detector. The wrapper scripts handle tool bootstrapping automatically, so you don't need a pre-configured environment. Best for CI pipelines or pre-commit validation where you want exhaustive coverage without manual dependency wrangling.

Ansible Validator

Overview

Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, and testing Ansible playbooks, roles, and collections. This skill provides automated workflows for ensuring Ansible code quality, syntax validation, dry-run testing with check mode and molecule, and intelligent documentation lookup for custom modules and collections with version awareness.

Default behavior: When validating any Ansible role with a molecule/ directory, attempt Molecule automatically using bash scripts/test_role.sh <role-path>. If Molecule cannot run due to environment/runtime limits, mark Molecule as BLOCKED, report why, and continue all non-Molecule validation steps.
