# Send Ansible to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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

```text
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.
```

## Documentation

### 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
