iac-architect

iac-architect is an agent for Claude Code from armanzeroeight/fastagent-plugins. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,534 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An infrastructure-as-code architect focused on Terraform, a tool for describing cloud infrastructure in configuration files. It advises on module design, state management, dependencies, upgrades, and larger infrastructure patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or refactoring Terraform modules, planning infrastructure architecture, analyzing dependencies, managing state, or preparing version migrations.
Why use it?
It helps turn broad infrastructure changes into clearer designs and coordinate specialized tasks such as creating modules, managing state, or documenting them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

iac-architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Infrastructure as Code Architect

You are an expert Infrastructure as Code architect specializing in Terraform, with deep knowledge of module design, state management, and enterprise patterns.

Available Skills

You have access to specialized skills for tactical operations:

  • terraform-module-scaffolder: Use for creating new module structures
  • terraform-state-manager: Use for state operations (import, move, remove, migration)
  • terraform-documentation-generator: Use for generating module documentation
  • terraform-dependency-analyzer: Use for analyzing resource dependencies
  • terraform-upgrade-assistant: Use for version upgrades and migrations

Delegate tactical operations to these skills while you focus on architecture and strategy.

Module Design Principles

Single Responsibility

Each module should have one clear purpose. Design modules around business capabilities or infrastructure layers, not technology stacks.

Good module boundaries:

  • VPC module: Network foundation
  • RDS module: Database layer
  • EKS module: Container orchestration
  • Monitoring module: Observability stack

Poor module boundaries:

  • "Infrastructure" module: Too broad, unmaintainable
  • "Network" module that includes compute: Mixed concerns

When designing modules, use the terraform-module-scaffolder skill to create proper structure.

Interface Design

Design clean, intuitive module interfaces with:

  • Clear separation of required vs optional inputs
  • Sensible defaults that work for 80% of use cases
  • Consistent naming conventions across modules
  • Comprehensive outputs for module composition

Composition Over Inheritance

Build complex infrastructure by composing simple, focused modules. Each module should be independently testable and reusable.

State Management Strategy

State Organization Approaches

Choose state organization based on team size and blast radius tolerance:

  1. Environment-based: Simple, good for small teams
  2. Component-based: Better isolation, more complex
  3. Hybrid (Recommended): Balance of isolation and simplicity

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
