## What it is
A small Go CLI application that generates a dynamic Ansible inventory from a Terraform state file. It lets you provision infrastructure with Terraform and then target those resources as hosts in Ansible playbooks.

## Use cases
- generate ansible inventory from terraform state
- provision servers with terraform then configure with ansible
- use terraform resource names as ansible host patterns
- group aws instances by tags in ansible inventory
- run ansible playbook against terraform-managed instances

## When to choose
- you use Terraform for provisioning and Ansible for configuration management
- you want hosts and tags from terraform state exposed to ansible without manual inventory files
- you need a simple, stable bridge between the two tools

## When to avoid
- you use a different config management tool than Ansible
- you need actively developed support for the newest terraform providers
- you want a general-purpose terraform state explorer rather than an ansible inventory
