Convert part of the following chef recipe to Ansible

I am trying to convert following chef recipe into Ansible. What could be the equivalent of it ?.. I am familiar with Ansible. Is it correct that there are going to be three directories created ?. Such as /usr/share/agentone/lib ; /usr/share/agentone/etc ; /usr/share/agentone/bin and all of them have the 0755 mode on ? 

 if node[:platform_family] == 'debian'

  %w{lib etc bin}.each do |dir|
    directory "/usr/share/agentone/#{dir}" do
     mode '0755'
     owner 'root'
     group 'root'
     action :create
     recursive true
    end
  end

  directory '/var/log/agentone'
  directory 'var/run/agentone'

  link '/usr/share/agentone/logs' do
   to '/var/log/agentone'
  end

  template '/etc/init.d/agentone' do
    owner 'root'
    group 'root'
    mode '750'
    source 'agentone.init.erb'
    variables(
      :version => node[:base][:agent][:agent_artifact][:version]
     )
  end

 end

What could be the best way to write in Ansible ?

The ansible version of this would be something like this:

- name: create dirs
  file: path=/usr/share/agentone/{{ item }}
        state=directory
        owner=root
        group=root
        mode=0755
        recurse=true
  with_items:
      - lib
      - etc
      - bin
  when: ansible_distribution == 'Debian'

Edit: With respect to the additional code you added:

- name: symlink /usr/share/agentone/logs
  file: path=/usr/share/agentone/logs
        src=/var/log/agentone
        state=link

- name: template /etc/init.d/agentone
  template: src=agentone.init.erb
            dest=/etc/init.d/agentone
            owner=root
            group=root
            mode=0750

With respect to the variables used in the template task, they just need to be added to your inventory file, a vars file, or anywhere else Ansible variables can be defined.
