As of Ansible 2.1 ansible-shell is part of the official ansible release: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/cli/console.py

ansible-shell  

Interactive shell for Ansible with built-in tab completion for all the modules.

This version works with 1.x version of ansible.

Installation

For the latest release version:

$ pip install ansible-shell

For the latest development version:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/dominis/ansible-shell.git#egg=ansible-shell

You can upgrade an existing installation by specifying an --upgrade option with the same command for whichever method you used above.

If you wish to hack on ansible-shell, you can install with pip's "editable" mode -- the ansible-shell command available on your system will be linked to your working copy of the code:

$ git clone https://github.com/dominis/ansible-shell.git
$ pip install -e ./ansible-shell

See the pip documentation if you need to learn more about pip.

Available commands:

cd
become
forks
list
list groups
serial
!  - force shell module instead of the ansible module of the same name (!yum update -y)

Usage:

[root@aaa ~]# ansible-shell --one-line
