Why use it?
They help contributors find the right place for each infrastructure change and preserve consistent inputs, outputs, permissions, and compatibility.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is lgallard/terraform-aws-backup's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on terraform-aws-backup itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything terraform-aws-backup configures →

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

terraform-aws-backup CLAUDE.md 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 6d 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.

Terraform AWS Backup Module - Development Guidelines

Overview

This document outlines Terraform-specific development guidelines for the terraform-aws-backup module, focusing on best practices for AWS infrastructure as code.

Module Structure & Organization

File Organization

  • main.tf - Primary resource definitions and locals
  • variables.tf - Input variable definitions with validation
  • outputs.tf - Output value definitions
  • versions.tf - Provider version constraints
  • iam.tf - IAM roles and policies
  • notifications.tf - SNS and notification configurations
  • organizations.tf - AWS Organizations backup policies
  • selection.tf - Resource selection logic
  • reports.tf - Backup reporting configurations
  • audit_manager.tf - Audit framework configurations

Code Organization Principles

  • Group related resources logically in separate files
  • Use descriptive locals for complex expressions
  • Maintain backward compatibility with existing variable names
  • Keep validation logic close to variable definitions

MCP-Powered Validation Workflow

Development Lifecycle with MCP Integration

Before Implementation:

# Validate resource documentation
Terraform MCP: "Look up aws_backup_vault resource documentation"
Context7: "Get AWS Backup best practices"

During Development:

# Validate syntax and arguments
Terraform MCP: "Validate aws_backup_plan arguments"
Terraform MCP: "Check aws_backup_selection resource requirements"

Validation Phase:

# AI-powered validation
Task Agent (general-purpose): "Validate implementation comprehensively"
Task Agent (Explore - thorough): "Analyze code patterns and dependencies"

Security Review:

# Validate security configurations
Context7: "AWS Backup encryption best practices"
Terraform MCP: "Look up aws_kms_key for backup vault"

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.
