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-cliRecovers 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.
