FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
Shift-left Ansible validation: fail fast in the editor, not on the managed nodes.
What affects the result most?
YAML structure: playbook is a list of plays, each play has hosts, tasks, and optional handlers. Idempotency check: tasks should be idempotent — shell: module often is not, command: never is. Module preference: use package/service/file over command/shell for idempotency guarantees.
How should I use the result?
Treat the tool's output as a first-pass check, not a proof of correctness. A clean pass means no issues in the patterns this tool recognizes; a failure points to a specific problem you can investigate in your source. The underlying spec is the authoritative source for edge cases.
