+# Chained CI Prepare role
+
+This role prepare the settings before getting artifacts and run the playbook.
+It:
+ - Warn if log level is HIGH to avoid data leaking
+ - Check the step parameter is set
+ - prepare the `config` fact
+ - test `only` and `except` step parameters to limit when jobs are runned.
+ This will __SKIP__ this job if __ONE of__ the `except` condition is
+ successful __AND__ if __ALL__ the `only` conditions are failing. Those
+ conditions are testing environment variables like this:
+ - `VAR`: this test the presence of a variable that is not empty
+ - `VAR == value`: this test the exact value of a variable
+ - `VAR != value`: this test the exact difference of a variable.
+ - `VAR in [value1, value2]`: this test the exact value of a variable is a
+ set of possibilities
+
+## Example
+
+```
+except:
+ - "XXX in [aaa, aab]"
+ - "YYY"
+only:
+ - "AAA == yes"
+ - "BBB != no"
+ - "CCC in [pitet, possible]"
+```
