generate_collection_skills
Idempotent
Generate skills for an entire Ansible collection, updating MANIFEST.json and AGENTS.md for cross-agent discovery. Use to turn collection docs into reusable skills, with counts of succeeded and failed.
Instructions
Batch generate skills for an entire collection.
Generates/updates the collection MANIFEST.json as a byproduct. Updates AGENTS.md in the project root with a managed section listing available collections for cross-agent discovery. Returns {"succeeded": int, "failed": int, "total": int, "manifest": dict, "collection_skill": str}, or {"error": str} on failure.
Module/plugin docs use batched ansible-doc calls. Names missing from a
batch (or a hard batch failure) are counted in failed; partial batch
success still writes skills for resolved names.
