+## Example Reclass inventory
+<!--
+If at all feasible, please provide a minimal example inventory that
+demonstrates the buggy behavior. By doing so, you're making it much easier for
+us to fix the reported bug.
+
+You can share an example inventory as follows:
+
+1. Setup the example inventory structure (including `reclass-config.yml` if
+   necessary) in a temporary directory
+2. Verify that the example inventory demonstrates the buggy behavior
+3. Run `tar cj * | base64 -w 0` in the temporary directory
+   On macOS, you'll need to leave out `-w 0`.
+4. Copy the resulting base64 string into a code block in this section
+5. If you've changed the `tar` command, please provide your version
