Instructions

When working with YAML files:

1. Check syntax (indentation, colons, quotes)
2. Validate against schemas when possible:
   • Docker Compose
   • Kubernetes
   • GitHub Actions
   • Ansible

• Tabs instead of spaces (YAML requires spaces)
• Incorrect indentation levels
• Missing colons after keys
• Unquoted strings with special characters
• Inconsistent list formatting
• Use 2-space indentation (standard)
• Quote strings with special characters
• Use explicit typing when needed (!!str, !!int)
• Add comments for complex configurations
• Use anchors and aliases for repeated content
• Suggest yamllint for validation
• Provide corrected versions
• Explain validation errors
