What it does

This skill gives an AI agent a set of expert guidelines for Terraform, a tool that defines cloud infrastructure (servers, networks, databases) as code. Once installed, the agent follows safer habits: running a plan before applying changes, using remote state with locking, pinning provider versions, designing reusable modules, and avoiding hardcoded secrets. It is written as instructions and reference advice, not as a tool that changes your infrastructure by itself.

Great for

  • Engineers writing or reviewing Terraform or OpenTofu configurations
  • Teams who want consistent IaC conventions such as tagging, for_each usage, and module structure
  • People learning Terraform state management, imports, and refactoring with state mv

Skip it if

  • Users who expect the skill to provision or manage cloud resources on its own; it only contains guidance, so the agent still needs its own access and tools to run Terraform
  • Non-technical users without access to a real Terraform project, since the advice assumes working knowledge of cloud infrastructure
  • Situations needing provider-specific details beyond the general guidance, since the file covers general principles and not specific cloud APIs

Try asking

  • “Review my Terraform module for variable types, outputs, and missing descriptions”
  • “Help me migrate my local state to an S3 backend with DynamoDB locking”
  • “Show me how to import an existing AWS security group into Terraform without recreating it”
  • “Check my configuration for hardcoded secrets and suggest safer alternatives”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Ask the agent to show the plan output and review it before approving any apply or destroy step
  • Provide your backend and provider configuration so advice matches your real setup
  • Keep credentials in environment variables or a vault, not in prompts or .tf files
