Ansible's windows support relies on a few standard variables to indicate the username, password, and connection type (windows) of the remote hosts. These variables are most easily set up in inventory. This is used instead of SSH-keys or passwords as normally fed into Ansible.

Modules (ps1 files) should start as follows::
#!powershell
# <license>
# WANT_JSON
# POWERSHELL_COMMON
# <license>
# code goes here, reading in stdin as JSON and outputting JSON
The above magic is neccessary to tell Ansible to mix in some common code and also know how to push modules out. The common code contains some nice wrappers around working with hash data structures and emitting JSON results, and possibly a few mpmore useful things. Regular Ansible has this same concept for reusing Python code - this is just the windows equivalent.
