common-tasks.yml is a list of tasks that is used in first-playbook.yml 
and

second-playbook.yml through include_tasks common-tasks.yml

I'd like to syntax check everything before deploying. For playbooks I 
can

do:

ansible-playbook --syntax-check first-playbook.yml

However, it is not possible for common tasks because it is a list of 
tasks


https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/16778


Another option would be that tasks got validated when including them, 
but

that is not the case:

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/15709



Is there a flag/ansible command that I can use to syntax check a list 
of

tasks?


Not an answer to you question but some other way to do it.

Instead of include_tasks create a role common and put the task(s) there 
and add the role to both palybook, then they will get syntax checked.

At the moment what I'm doing is a nasty hack like:

   touch FAKE_PLAYBOOK.yml
   echo "host: foo" > FAKE_PLAYBOOK.yml
   echo "  tasks">> FAKE_PLAYBOOK.yml
   cat common_tasks.yml | awk '{print "" $0 }'
   ansible-playbook --syntax-check FAKE_PLAYBOOK.yml

Obviously that only scores as hack

Maybe something like this: python -c 'import
yaml,sys;yaml.safe_load(sys.stdin)' < common-tasks.yml
