+# Todo 
+Implement 
+
+# Inventories Directory
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `inventories/` directory defines environment-specific inventory data for Ansible.
+
+Each subdirectory within `inventories/` represents a dedicated persona or environment (e.g., `enterprise`, `developer`, `gamer`) and contains the necessary templates and variables to generate the final Ansible inventory and variable files.
+
+This structure allows fully automated and reproducible inventory generation using a Python tool.
+
+---
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+inventories/
+├── <persona-name>/
+│   ├── README.md               # Description of the persona or environment
+│   ├── inventory.yml.j2        # Jinja2 template for the dynamic inventory file
+│   ├── vars.yml.j2             # Jinja2 template for generating group_vars / host_vars
+│   └── config.yml              # Metadata and settings for this persona (optional)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Purpose of Each File
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `README.md` | Documentation of the persona/environment, included roles, and intended use case. |
+| `inventory.yml.j2` | Jinja2 template that generates the inventory structure (hosts, groups, variables). |
+| `vars.yml.j2` | Jinja2 template generating environment-specific variables (used in group_vars or host_vars). |
+| `config.yml` | Optional metadata file containing settings like acquired personas, feature flags, default variables. |
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Workflow with Python Tool
+
+1. The Python tool scans `inventories/<persona>` directories.
+2. For each persona:
+    - Load `config.yml` (optional).
+    - Render `vars.yml.j2` → Output: `group_vars/all.yml`
+    - Render `inventory.yml.j2` → Output: `inventory.yml`
+    - Recursively acquire and merge dependent personas (defined in `config.yml`):
+  
+```yaml
+# Example: inventories/enterprise/config.yml
+acquire_personas:
+  - corporate
+  - administrator
+  - developer
+```
+
+3. Combine all output into a deployable inventory directory:
+```
+output/
+├── enterprise/
+│   ├── inventory.yml
+│   └── group_vars/
+│       └── all.yml
+```
+
+4. The generated inventory is ready for use:
+```bash
+ansible-playbook -i output/enterprise/inventory.yml site.yml
+```
+
+---
+
+## Benefits of This Approach
+
+- Personas remain fully modular and reusable.
+- No duplication of host/group data.
+- Centralized variable generation per persona.
+- Automated and consistent inventory generation.
+- Easy documentation per persona via `README.md`.
+- Optional Feature Flags or Role Toggles in `config.yml`.
+- Scalable for multi-environment setups.

+
+## Example Python Features
+
+| Feature | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| Auto Inventory Generation | Render `inventory.yml` and `vars.yml` from Jinja2 templates. |
+| Recursive Persona Acquisition | Load dependent personas automatically. |
+| Feature Flags | Enable/disable features via `config.yml`. |
+| Variable Merging | Combine variables from all acquired personas. |
+| Output Directory | Place final inventories in `output/<persona>` directory. |
+
+---
+
+## Example Command
+
+```bash
+python generate_inventory.py --persona enterprise --output output/
+```
+
+This will render the `enterprise` persona, recursively acquire all dependent personas, and generate a fully deployable inventory with variables.
+
