  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

YAML Syntax Traps

Jinja2 in value needs quotes — "{{ variable }}" not {{ variable }} : in string needs quotes — msg: "Note: this works" not msg: Note: this Boolean strings: yes, no, true, false parsed as bool — quote if literal string Indentation must be consistent — 2 spaces standard, tabs forbidden

Variable Precedence

Extra vars (-e) override everything — highest precedence Host vars beat group vars — more specific wins vars: in playbook beats inventory vars — order: inventory < playbook < extra vars Undefined variable fails — use {{ var | default('fallback') }}

Idempotence

command/shell modules aren't idempotent — always "changed", use creates: or specific module Use apt, yum, copy etc. — designed for idempotence changed_when: false for commands that don't change state — like queries creates:/removes: for command idempotence — skips if file exists/doesn't

Handlers

Handlers only run if task reports changed — not on "ok" Handlers run once at end of play — not immediately after notify Multiple notifies to same handler = one run — deduplicated --force-handlers to run even on failure — or meta: flush_handlers

Become (Privilege Escalation)

become: yes to run as root — become_user: for specific user become_method: sudo is default — use su or doas if needed Password needed for sudo — --ask-become-pass or in ansible.cfg Some modules need become at task level — even if playbook has become: yes

Conditionals

when: without Jinja2 braces — when: ansible_os_family == "Debian" not when: "{{ ... }}" Multiple conditions use and/or — or list for implicit and is defined, is not defined for optional vars — when: my_var is defined Boolean variables: when: my_bool — don't compare == true

Loops

loop: is modern, with_items: is legacy — both work, loop preferred loop_control.loop_var for nested loops — avoids variable collision item is the loop variable — use loop_control.label for cleaner output until: for retry loops — until: result.rc == 0 retries: 5 delay: 10

Facts

gather_facts: no speeds up play — but can't use ansible_* variables Facts cached with fact_caching — persists across runs Custom facts in /etc/ansible/facts.d/*.fact — JSON or INI, available as ansible_local

Common Mistakes

register: captures output even on failure — check result.rc or result.failed ignore_errors: yes continues but doesn't change result — task still "failed" in register delegate_to: localhost for local commands — but local_action is cleaner Vault password for encrypted files — --ask-vault-pass or vault password file --check (dry run) not supported by all modules — command, shell always skip
