It provides two main commands: `init` to create a new Ansible project from scratch, and `add` to insert resources into an existing project. The tool depends on jinja2 for template rendering, pyyaml for configuration handling, and importlib-resources for asset management.\n\nIt's designed for developers building Ansible content who want to quickly establish a standardized project layout rather than manually creating directories and boilerplate files. The tool is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions (3.10\u20133.13), and integrates with the Ansible documentation ecosystem. It has experimental shell completion support via argcomplete.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained (release 2 days old), has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. It solves a real problem\u2014reducing boilerplate work for Ansible projects\u2014and is well-integrated with the Ansible ecosystem. Install if you regularly create or extend Ansible projects."},"id":"ansible-creator","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ansible-creator","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ansible-creator.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ansible-creator/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ansible-creator","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A CLI tool for scaffolding Ansible Content."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":433141,"position":6705,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"26.8.0"}
