# Ansible Playbook Dry-Run Analyzer

Executes ansible-playbook --check --diff mode and parses the JSON callback output using the ansible.posix.json callback plugin. Identifies tasks that would change, predicts idempotency issues, and generates change impact reports.

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration. Ansible makes complex
- 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.
