You could use ansible-galaxy to instantiate a role skeleton:
dick.visser@GA0267 tmp$ ansible-galaxy init enable_ssh
- Role enable_ssh was created successfully
dick.visser@GA0267 tmp$ tree enable_ssh/
enable_ssh/
├── README.md
├── defaults
│ └── main.yml
├── files
├── handlers

├── meta

├── tasks
│ └── main.yml
├── templates
├── tests
│ ├── inventory
│ └── test.yml
└── vars
└── main.yml
9 directories, 8 files
btw, different roles to enable and disable SSH to me sounds like too much
overhead....
