Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00029 | $0.04820 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.02410 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00964 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00482 |
Grade A, and why
terraform-validator 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 525 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Terraform Validator
Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, and testing Terraform configurations with automated workflows for syntax validation, security scanning, and intelligent documentation lookup.
⚠️ Critical Requirements Checklist
STOP: You MUST complete these steps in order. Do NOT skip any REQUIRED step.
| Step | Action | Required |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Run bash scripts/extract_tf_info_wrapper.sh <path> |
✅ REQUIRED |
| 2 | Context7 lookup for ALL providers (explicit AND implicit); WebSearch fallback if not found | ✅ REQUIRED |
| 3 | READ references/security_checklist.md |
✅ REQUIRED |
| 4 | READ references/best_practices.md |
✅ REQUIRED |
| 5 | Run terraform fmt |
✅ REQUIRED |
| 6 | Run tflint (or note as skipped if unavailable) |
Recommended |
| 7 | Run terraform init (if not initialized) |
✅ REQUIRED |
| 8 | Run terraform validate |
✅ REQUIRED |
| 9 | Run bash scripts/run_checkov.sh <path> |
✅ REQUIRED |
| 10 | Cross-reference findings with security_checklist.md sections |
✅ REQUIRED |
| 11 | Generate report citing reference files | ✅ REQUIRED |
| 12 | Run regression tests (bash tests/test_regression.sh) |
✅ REQUIRED |
| 13 | Run lightweight CI checks (bash -n, py_compile, smoke) |
✅ REQUIRED |
IMPORTANT: Steps 3-4 (reading reference files) must be completed BEFORE running security scans. The reference files contain remediation patterns that MUST be cited in your report.
Context7 Fallback: If Context7 does not have a provider (common for: random, null, local, time, tls), use WebSearch:
"terraform-provider-{name} hashicorp documentation"

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.

terraform-validator is a skill published in the GitHub repository akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills (306 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 4,820 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
