+# args
+
+This rule validates if the task arguments conform with the plugin documentation.
+
+The rule validation will check if the option name is valid and has the correct
+value along with conditionals on the options like `mutually_exclusive`,
+`required_together`, `required_one_of` and so on.
+
+For more information see the
+[argument spec validator](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/module_utils.html#argumentspecvalidator)
+topic in the Ansible module utility documentation.
+
+Possible messages:
+
+- `args[module]` - missing required arguments: ...
+- `args[module]` - missing parameter(s) required by ...
+
+## Problematic Code
+
+```yaml
+---
+- name: Fixture to validate module options failure scenarios
+  hosts: localhost
+  tasks:
+    - name: Clone content repository
+      ansible.builtin.git: # <- Required option `repo` is missing.
+        dest: /home/www
+        accept_hostkey: true
+        version: master
+        update: false
+
+    - name: Enable service httpd and ensure it is not masked
+      ansible.builtin.systemd: # <- Missing 'name' parameter required by 'enabled'.
+        enabled: true
+        masked: false
+
+    - name: Use quiet to avoid verbose output
+      ansible.builtin.assert:
+        test:
+          - my_param <= 100
+          - my_param >= 0
+        quiet: invalid # <- Value for option `quiet` is invalid.
+```
+
+## Correct Code
+
+```yaml
+---
+- name: Fixture to validate module options pass scenario
+  hosts: localhost
+  tasks:
+    - name: Clone content repository
+      ansible.builtin.git: # <- Contains required option `repo`.
+        repo: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples
+        dest: /home/www
+        accept_hostkey: true
+        version: master
+        update: false
+
+    - name: Enable service httpd and ensure it is not masked
+      ansible.builtin.systemd: # <- Contains 'name' parameter required by 'enabled'.
+        name: httpd
+        enabled: false
+        masked: false
+
+    - name: Use quiet to avoid verbose output
+      ansible.builtin.assert:
+        that:
+          - my_param <= 100
+          - my_param >= 0
+        quiet: True # <- Has correct type value for option `quiet` which is boolean.
+```
+
+## Special cases
+
+In some complex cases where you are using jinja expressions, the linter may not
+able to fully validate all the possible values and report a false positive. The
+example below would usually report
+`parameters are mutually exclusive: data|file|keyserver|url` but because we
+added `# noqa: args[module]` it will just pass.
+
+```yaml
+- name: Add apt keys # noqa: args[module]
+  become: true
+  ansible.builtin.apt_key:
+    url: "{{ zj_item['url'] | default(omit) }}"
+    data: "{{ zj_item['data'] | default(omit) }}"
+  loop: "{{ repositories_keys }}"
+  loop_control:
+    loop_var: zj_item
+```
