Quick brief
This skill runs ansible-lint on Ansible content and helps agents interpret and fix the findings. Invoke it when you need a bounded pre-run or pre-merge review of playbooks, roles, or collections instead of manually scanning YAML or relying on a generic Ansible runner. The boundary is clear: the agent is performing a lint-and-remediate workflow for infrastructure code quality, not publishing ansible-lint as a generic tool listing.
