- Use `when: var | length == 0` instead of `when: var == ""`.
Don't compare to literal True/False
Instead of
when: (foo == 1 and bar == 0) == false
use

Use shell only when shell functionality is required
Commands should not change things if nothing needs doing
Sometimes fixed by adding
changed_when: false
Lines should be no longer than 160 chars

Shells that use pipes should set the pipefail option
shell: | set -o pipefail your command args: executable: /bin/bash
