# Ansible Playbook Linter

Validates Ansible playbooks and roles using ansible-lint and yamllint APIs. Enforces best practices for idempotency, variable naming, and handler usage with custom rule profiles.

- Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- Power users and developers can run the devel branch, which has the latest
- in the Ansible community if you want to run the devel branch.
