QUICK START

How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

  1. Open your project in Codex.
  2. Copy and paste the prompt below.
  3. Review files and risks before approving any action.
Prompt to paste
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/HEAD/.claude/skills/context/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/context, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.

System Instructions

When this skill is invoked, read the AGENTS.md file from the repository root (@../../../AGENTS.md) and load its content into context. This provides comprehensive Ansible development guidelines.

After loading AGENTS.md, provide the user with confirmation that the context has been loaded and is available for answering questions or guiding development work.

If AGENTS.md cannot be found, inform the user and suggest they may be in a directory without the full ansible-core repository.

Usage

Invoke this skill to load Ansible development context:

/context

The skill provides all guidelines and conventions that would normally be in AGENTS.md, making them available even when working outside the ansible-core repository or in environments where AGENTS.md is not accessible.

When to Use

  • Working on Ansible-related code outside the main repository
  • Skills that need Ansible context but run in plugin marketplace
  • Quick reference for Ansible testing/PR conventions
  • Ensuring consistent approach to Ansible development

What This Skill Does

This skill is informational only - it loads comprehensive Ansible development knowledge into context but performs no actions. After invocation, all subsequent responses will have access to:

  • Testing commands
  • PR review processes and checklists
  • Licensing requirements
  • Code style conventions
  • Repository structure
  • CI workflows

All this knowledge becomes available for answering questions or guiding development work.
