How can I hide skipped tasks output in Ansible

Question

I have Ansible role, for example

---
- name: Deploy app1
  include: deploy-app1.yml
  when: \'deploy_project == \"{{app1}}\"\'

- name: Deploy app2
  include

If you don't mind losing colours you can elide the skipped tasks by piping the output through sed:

ansible-playbook whatever.yml | sed -nr '/^TASK/{h;n;/^skipping:/{n;b};H;x};p'
