Fetched all 8 reference files it links to (code-patterns, state-management, CI/CD, security-compliance, testing-frameworks, module-patterns, code-intelligence, quick-reference) — every one resolves, and its count-to-for_each migration answer forces an explicit rollback plan and terraform-plan validation step that a baseline answer skipped.

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 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Terraform Skill does

A diagnosis-first Terraform/OpenTofu skill that routes failure modes (identity churn, secret exposure, blast radius, CI drift, state corruption) to matching reference files, then enforces a five-part response contract: assumptions, risk category, remediation with tradeoffs, validation commands, and rollback notes. Triggers when writing, reviewing, or debugging Terraform/OpenTofu modules, tests, CI pipelines, scans, or state operations.

How to install Terraform Skill

git clone https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill
