Gives exact, checkable commands (pulumi refresh --clear-pending-creates, pulumi state move, pulumi state protect 'urn:...') for scenarios a model would otherwise guess flags for; explicitly and correctly declines coding tasks in favor of the language-specific Pulumi skills.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Pulumi CLI does

Reference skill for operating and troubleshooting Pulumi infrastructure via the CLI: state recovery (stuck pending operations, drift after out-of-band deletes), moving/protecting resources, backend migration, and CI/CD env-var setup. Triggers on operational Pulumi questions (recovering, fixing, importing, migrating stacks) as opposed to writing Pulumi program code, which it explicitly defers to the language-specific Pulumi skills.

How to install Pulumi CLI

git clone https://github.com/dirien/claude-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r claude-skills/pulumi-cli ~/.claude/skills/pulumi-cli

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Pulumi CLI

  • /pulumi-cli Recovers stuck Pulumi stacks, fixes state drift, and sets up non-interactive CI/CD with exact flags.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • My pulumi stack has a stuck pending operation, help me recover it
  • How do I move a resource between pulumi stacks without recreating it?
  • Need to protect our RDS resource in pulumi from accidental destroy

Frequently asked questions

Is the Pulumi CLI skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from dirien/claude-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Pulumi CLI work with Claude Code?
We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Gives exact, checkable commands (pulumi refresh --clear-pending-creates, pulumi state move, pulumi state protect 'urn:...') for scenarios a model would otherwise guess flags for; explicitly and correctly declines coding tasks in favor of the language-specific Pulumi skills.
What is the Pulumi CLI SkillProof Score?
9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
How do I install Pulumi CLI?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Pulumi CLI with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
