I got tired of grepping YAML files to remember tag names and copy-pasting hostnames into --limit every time I ran a playbook. AWX/Semaphore solve this but require a database and a daemon. So I built a single-file TUI instead.

It parses your inventory.yml and playbook.yml, gives you a split-pane selector for hosts and tasks, builds the ansible-playbook command live as you toggle checkboxes, then runs it with streaming output — all inside the terminal.

The binary is ~100MB (Deno runtime embedded), but there's also a one-liner for Deno users that needs nothing local:

  deno run --allow-read --allow-run --allow-write --allow-env \
