ansible

Guide for handling pull request reviews, including automated (Copilot, CodeRabbit) and human reviewer feedback. Use when responding to PR comments, resolving review threads, or updating PRs after review.

Prepare and submit a pull request for the APME project. Syncs with upstream, creates a feature branch, runs quality gates (tox -e lint, tox -e unit), updates documentation and ADRs as needed, commits with conventional commits, then creates the PR via gh. Use when the user asks to submit, create, or open a pull request, or says "submit PR", "open PR", "create PR", "new PR".

Create an Architecture Decision Record. Use when documenting an architecture decision, "record this choice", "we decided to use X", or after resolving an architectural DR. Do NOT use for capturing questions (use dr-new instead) or reviewing existing ADRs (use sdlc-status instead).

Compare the agentskills.io specification against this project's extended frontmatter allowlist to determine whether the custom validation hook (scripts/check_skill_frontmatter.py) is still needed. Use when checking if the upstream spec has adopted the extended fields, when planning to remove the custom hook, or when a new spec release is announced.

Audit documentation coverage against common user questions. Generates a Q&A matrix, searches docs/code for answers, flags gaps, and creates DRs for missing content. Use when asked to "audit docs", "check documentation coverage", "what questions can users answer", or before releases/demos.

Review and help prepare a contributor's pull request (upstream or fork). Use when the user asks to review a PR, get a contributor PR ready, update a contributor's branch, or ensure a PR meets project standards before merge. Follow this skill so contributor PRs are reviewed consistently and avoid rework (lint/test failures, outdated base, weak description).

Align branch name with artifact ID when they mismatch. Use when: renumbering a REQ/DR/ADR after branch creation, "branch name is wrong", "rename branch to match", or when PR review flags branch/artifact mismatch. Handles the git branch rename and remote update.

Reference for running lint, test, build, and pod commands via tox. Agents MUST use tox for all quality gates — never invoke pytest, ruff, mypy, prek, or shell scripts directly. This skill is the canonical lookup table for which tox environment to use.

Orchestrator that finds broken renovate/dependabot PRs across Ansible devtools repos, diagnoses failures, applies safe fixes, verifies locally, pushes, and monitors CI. Composes scan-bot-prs, rebase-pr, diagnose-ci, and verify-local into a single automated workflow.

Check out a PR branch, rebase it onto the base branch, push, and wait for CI to complete. Reports whether the rebase alone fixed CI or if further action is needed. Use when a PR is stale and may just need a rebase to pass CI.

Perform a supply chain vulnerability analysis across ADT ecosystem repos. Verifies commit signing, PR traceability, CI integrity, and dependency provenance within a time frame. Generates a standalone HTML dashboard report and PDF.

Check release status of all devtools projects, determine which need releasing, and output the correct release order based on runtime dependencies. Shows PyPI versions, unreleased commits, and pending bot PRs between stages. Use when planning monthly devtools releases.

Generate professional C4 architecture diagrams of the Ansible Dev Tools ecosystem by cloning and introspecting actual repos. Produces PNG output for the AAP Miro board. Use when the user says 'architecture diagram', 'C4 diagram', 'generate diagram', 'update architecture', or references AAP-77196.

Reference for ansible-dev-environment (ade), a pip-like installer for Ansible collections with isolated virtual environments. Use ade to set up development environments that install both Python and collection dependencies, with proper symlinks for editable collection development.

Reference for scaffolding Ansible content with ansible-creator. Use ansible-creator to initialize new collections, playbook projects, and execution environments, or to add plugins and resources to existing projects. This skill is the canonical lookup table for which subcommand and flags to use.

Reference for linting Ansible playbooks, roles, and collections with ansible-lint. Agents should prefer tox -e lint when available, but this skill provides the canonical reference for ansible-lint options, profiles, rule suppression, and configuration when direct invocation is needed or when understanding lint output.

Write, run, and debug WebDriverIO (WDIO) UI tests for the Ansible VS Code extension. Use when creating new WDIO specs, fixing test failures, adding webview or Lightspeed tests, or troubleshooting headless/CI execution.

Guided developer onboarding for the ansible.platform collection. Use this skill whenever a new engineer is joining the team, someone asks "where do I start" or "how does this collection work", or when onboarding a contributor who needs to understand the architecture, codebase layout, development workflow, or how to add new resource modules. Also trigger for phrases like "onboard me", "ramp up on platform", "walk me through the codebase", "I'm new to this collection", or "help me understand the platform SDK". Even if the person just says "I need to add a new module" without context, use this skill — they likely need the onboarding path first.
