Overview

Review Ansible code against Red Hat CoP automation good practices. Use when the user wants to audit, lint, review, check, or validate Ansible roles, playbooks, collections, or inventory for compliance with CoP rules. Optionally validates module parameters via ansible-know MCP. Use when user says "lint my role", "check my playbook", "review best practices", or "audit my Ansible code". Do NOT use for general Python or YAML linting unrelated to Ansible. Do NOT use for answering Ansible module usage questions or checking syntax against official Ansible documentation (use ansible-docs instead).

Ansible CoP Review

Important

Do NOT skip any rule category — check all of them (unless the user requested a category filter).
When a category does not apply (e.g., no templates exist), mark it N/A.
Be precise about line numbers and file paths.

Review all Ansible code in the current project (or the path/files the user specified via $ARGUMENTS) against the loaded reference rules and CLAUDE.md.

Loading reference rules

Load CoP reference rules using this priority:

Bundled references — Read from this plugin's references/*.adoc files. Select only the sections relevant to the files being reviewed (see mapping table below).
Fetch from GitHub (if bundled files are missing) — Fetch the needed sections from raw GitHub URLs and cache them in tmp/ for the session: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redhat-cop/automation-good-practices/{ref}/{section}/README.adoc where {ref} defaults to main. Override with --ref <tag-or-sha> in $ARGUMENTS.
CLAUDE.md only (if GitHub is unreachable) — Use only the Ansible rules from CLAUDE.md (global or project). Warn the user: "Review may be less thorough — using condensed rules only."
Stop (if no rules available at all) — Report inability to review and stop.

CLAUDE.md Ansible rules, when present, always take precedence over AsciiDoc for rule application and verdicts. AsciiDoc provides the full context, examples, and rationale for edge cases.

Section selection

Based on the files in the review scope, load only the relevant sections:

Files detected	Sections to load	~Tokens (full)
`tasks/` `defaults/` `vars/` `meta/` `handlers/` `templates/`	roles, coding_style, naming_conventions, security, testing	22,500
Playbooks (`.yml` with `hosts:`)	playbooks, coding_style, naming_conventions	9,400
`inventory/` `group_vars/` `host_vars/`	inventories, security	7,700
`galaxy.yml` present	collections, roles, coding_style, naming_conventions, testing	19,700
`plugins/` `modules/`	plugins, coding_style, testing	10,400
AAP CaC repos (`controller_*` vars, `infra.aap_configuration` refs)	aap_configuration, naming_conventions, security	7,400
`.github/` `.gitlab-ci.yml` `Makefile` CI/CD configs	cicd_and_promotion, git_workflow, testing	6,800
`molecule/` test dirs	testing, coding_style	8,500
`ansible-vault` encrypted files, credential references	security	2,900
Unclear or full review	All 13 sections	39,700

Multiple matches are unioned. When more than one group matches, also load structures (~1,500 tokens) for architectural framing.

Token optimization

Full reference files total ~39,700 tokens. To stay efficient, read each AsciiDoc section in two passes:

Rules pass (always) — Read == headings and Explanations:: blocks. These contain the actionable rules to check against. Skip Rationale:: and Examples:: blocks on this pass. This typically cuts token usage by 50-60%.
Detail pass (on demand) — When a finding is ambiguous or you need to verify correct/incorrect usage, go back and read the Examples:: block for that specific guideline. Consult Rationale:: only for edge cases where the rule's applicability is genuinely unclear.

For small reviews (single role, few files), reading full sections is fine. For large reviews (3+ roles, 30+ files), use the two-pass approach to avoid hitting context limits.

AsciiDoc parsing notes

The reference files use AsciiDoc format. Parse elements in this priority:

== headings — individual guidelines (the rule statements to check against)
Explanations:: — actionable rule content (the "what to do") — always read
Examples:: — code samples showing correct/incorrect usage — read on demand
Rationale:: — background context — skip unless investigating edge cases
NOTE:, TIP:, CAUTION:, WARNING:, IMPORTANT: — admonitions worth reading

Ignore these structural elements:

[%collapsible], ==== delimiters — collapsible block markers
include::, image:: directives — external references, not inline content
[source,yaml] + ---- blocks — treat as fenced code blocks

Review process

Determine review mode — Check what the user requested:
- Full review (default) — review all Ansible files in the project.
- Path/file review — review only the files or path the user specified.
- Diff-aware review — if the user asks to review "changed files", "my changes", or similar, run git diff --name-only (and git diff --cached --name-only for staged changes) to get the list of modified files. Only review those files. Mention which base you are diffing against (e.g., HEAD, main).
- Category filter — if the user asks to check only specific rule categories (e.g., "just check naming", "skip documentation"), apply only those categories. List which categories are being checked and which are skipped at the start of the report.
Discover scope — Based on the review mode, identify files to review. For full reviews, scan for all *.yml/*.yaml files, templates/, defaults/, vars/, meta/, tasks/, handlers/, inventory/, and README.md files in the working directory tree.
Run ansible-lint — If ansible-lint is available on the system, run it against the discovered files and capture its output. Cross-reference ansible-lint findings with CoP rules in the report — map each ansible-lint rule ID to the corresponding CoP category where applicable. If ansible-lint is not available, note this and proceed with the manual review only.
Parallel review for large projects — If the project contains multiple roles or a large number of files (more than 3 roles or 30+ files), use the Agent tool with subagents to review roles/components in parallel. Each subagent reviews one role or logical group of files against all applicable rule categories. Merge subagent results into a single report.
Check every applicable rule category against the discovered files:
- Architecture — Landscape / Type / Function / Component hierarchy
- Role naming — role-prefixed variables, __ internal prefix, no dashes, no special chars, tag prefixes
- Variable placement — defaults vs vars, commented-out dangerous defaults, no user-facing vars in vars/main.yml
- Idempotency & check mode — changed_when: on command/shell, idempotent module usage, re-run safety
- Argument validation — meta/argument_specs.yml existence and completeness
- File references — {{ role_path }} usage, no relative paths
- Templates — {{ ansible_managed | comment }} header, backup: true, no timestamps
- Platform support — include_vars loop pattern, first_found pattern, ansible_facts['...'] bracket notation
- Fact gathering — minimum subset, graceful handling of gather_facts: false
- Playbook structure — no mixed roles: + tasks:, tag safety, verbosity: on debug tasks
- Inventory — structured directories, no vars in hosts file, no manual host loops
- YAML style — 2-space indent, true/false booleans, line length under 120, folded scalars
- Naming — snake_case everywhere, imperative task names, sub-task prefixes
- Module usage — FQCN, loop: over with_*, import/include patterns
- Collections — semantic versioning, README, LICENSE
- Providers — $ROLENAME_provider pattern, auto-detection
- Documentation — README.md with examples, variable specs, idempotency designation, rollback info
- AAP Configuration as Code — declarative Git-managed AAP objects, infra.aap_configuration usage, environment separation, CaC repo structure
- CI/CD & promotion — pre-commit hooks, linting in CI, environment promotion workflows, artifact versioning, pipeline stages
- Git workflow — trunk-based development, branch naming, commit messages, tagging strategy, release management
- Naming conventions — repository naming, AAP resource naming, file naming, consistent separator usage, .yml extension
- Security — no secrets in Git, ansible-vault usage, least-privilege credentials, secret scanning, secure variable handling
- Testing — shift-left testing, Molecule usage, lint validation, integration tests, test coverage expectations

Severity levels

Classify every finding with one of these severity levels:

ERROR — Must fix. Violates a MUST/NEVER/ALWAYS rule from CLAUDE.md. Examples: missing changed_when: on command: tasks, user-facing defaults in vars/main.yml, non-FQCN module names, yes/no booleans.
WARNING — Should fix. Violates a best practice or SHOULD-level recommendation. Examples: missing backup: true on template tasks, missing README sections, no platform-specific variable loading.
INFO — Suggestion. Opportunity to improve but not a rule violation. Examples: task could use a more descriptive name, variable could be documented better, a role could benefit from the provider pattern.

Report format

Report findings — Group findings by file, then by severity. For each violation:
- Severity level: [ERROR], [WARNING], or [INFO]
- The rule being violated (quote the rule text briefly)
- File path and line number
- The offending code snippet
- The corrected code
- If from ansible-lint: include the ansible-lint rule ID
Summary table — End with a markdown table:

Rule Category Status Severity Files Affected Count
Role naming PASS/FAIL ERROR/WARNING/INFO file1, file2 N
... ... ... ... ...

Include totals row: total ERRORs, WARNINGs, and INFOs.
Overall verdict — State whether the code is compliant or not, and list the top 3 highest-priority fixes (always prioritize ERRORs first).

Auto-fix

Offer to fix — After presenting the report, ask the user: "Would you like me to automatically fix these violations?"
- If yes, apply fixes grouped by file, starting with ERRORs, then WARNINGs. Do not auto-fix INFO-level findings unless the user explicitly asks.
- After applying fixes, re-run the review on the modified files to confirm all targeted violations are resolved.
- Report what was fixed and what remains (if anything requires manual intervention, explain why).

# Ansible CoP Review

## Important

- Do NOT skip any rule category — check all of them (unless the user
  requested a category filter).
- When a category does not apply (e.g., no templates exist), mark it N/A.
- Be precise about line numbers and file paths.

Review all Ansible code in the current project (or the path/files the user

## Loading reference rules

Load CoP reference rules using this priority:

1. **Bundled references** — Read from this plugin's `references/*.adoc` files.
   Select only the sections relevant to the files being reviewed (see mapping
   table below).
2. **Fetch from GitHub** (if bundled files are missing) — Fetch the needed
   sections from raw GitHub URLs and cache them in `tmp/` for the session:
   `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redhat-cop/automation-good-practices/{ref}/{section}/README.adoc`
   where `{ref}` defaults to `main`. Override with `--ref <tag-or-sha>` in
   `$ARGUMENTS`.
3. **CLAUDE.md only** (if GitHub is unreachable) — Use only the Ansible rules
   from CLAUDE.md (global or project). Warn the user: "Review may be less
   thorough — using condensed rules only."
4. **Stop** (if no rules available at all) — Report inability to review and
   stop.

CLAUDE.md Ansible rules, when present, always take precedence over AsciiDoc
for rule application and verdicts. AsciiDoc provides the full context,
examples, and rationale for edge cases.

### Section selection

Based on the files in the review scope, load only the relevant sections:

| Files detected | Sections to load | ~Tokens (full) |
|---|---|---:|
| `tasks/` `defaults/` `vars/` `meta/` `handlers/` `templates/` | roles, coding_style, naming_conventions, security, testing | 22,500 |
| Playbooks (`.yml` with `hosts:`) | playbooks, coding_style, naming_conventions | 9,400 |
| `inventory/` `group_vars/` `host_vars/` | inventories, security | 7,700 |
| `galaxy.yml` present | collections, roles, coding_style, naming_conventions, testing | 19,700 |
| `plugins/` `modules/` | plugins, coding_style, testing | 10,400 |
| AAP CaC repos (`controller_*` vars, `infra.aap_configuration` refs) | aap_configuration, naming_conventions, security | 7,400 |
| `.github/` `.gitlab-ci.yml` `Makefile` CI/CD configs | cicd_and_promotion, git_workflow, testing | 6,800 |
| `molecule/` test dirs | testing, coding_style | 8,500 |
| `ansible-vault` encrypted files, credential references | security | 2,900 |
| Unclear or full review | All 13 sections | 39,700 |

Multiple matches are unioned. When more than one group matches, also load
`structures` (~1,500 tokens) for architectural framing.

### Token optimization

Full reference files total ~39,700 tokens. To stay efficient, read each
AsciiDoc section in two passes:

1. **Rules pass** (always) — Read `==` headings and `Explanations::` blocks.
   These contain the actionable rules to check against. Skip `Rationale::`
   and `Examples::` blocks on this pass. This typically cuts token usage by
   50-60%.
2. **Detail pass** (on demand) — When a finding is ambiguous or you need to

   for that specific guideline. Consult `Rationale::` only for edge cases
   where the rule's applicability is genuinely unclear.
