Certification tooling

This section provides tooling recommendations and guidance for Ansible collection certification.

Certification checker

The partner-certification-checker provides a GitHub Actions workflow that checks collections against certification requirements before you upload to Automation Hub.

To start using it, copy the certification workflow to your .github/workflows/ directory.

For complete instructions, see the certification checker README.

Claude Code certification review

The certification-review skill for Claude Code reviews Ansible collections against certification requirements interactively.

Install the skill

Install the skill from this repository as a Claude Code plugin:

claude install-skill github:ansible-collections/partner-certification-requirements

Permissions

The skill includes a .claude/settings.json that pre-approves read-only commands like grep, find, and cat so that Claude can explore your collection without prompting for each action. If the permissions are not picked up automatically, copy .claude/settings.json from this repository into your collection project.

Run a certification review

Open your collection project directory in Claude Code and invoke the skill:

/certification-review

Claude fetches the current certification requirements, explores your collection, and checks each requirement one at a time. At the end, it produces a summary table with a PASS or NEEDS ACTION status for each requirement area.
