## About

# Ludus Environment Guide

Use this skill to map user goals to pre-built Ludus environments and provide reliable deployment guidance.

## Workflow

1. Clarify what the user wants to learn, test, or simulate.
2. Recommend one or more pre-built environments that match that objective.
3. Check prerequisites before deploy: required templates, required Ansible roles/collections, and minimum resources.
4. Guide the deployment steps in order and call out any external playbook steps.
5. Provide post-deploy next actions (validation checks, docs, and common follow-up commands).

## Key Considerations

- Resource requirements vary widely; include sizing guidance in recommendations.
- Verify required templates are available on the server before starting a deploy.
- Ensure required Ansible roles and collections are installed before deploy.
- Call out when setup depends on external Ansible playbooks run from the user machine.
- Remind users a WireGuard connection is required when running external Ansible against range VMs.
