terraform-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from daymade/claude-code-skills. It costs 130 tokens per session (3,328 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing and reviewing Terraform deployments, where configuration files create and manage cloud infrastructure.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking release and promotion workflows, staging and production separation, validation, provisioners, cloud-init, Docker Compose, Caddy, and empty-host bootstrap.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unvalidated changes, unsafe provisioners, accidental cross-environment impact, and unreliable fresh-server setup.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

  • high Tool Misuse · line 90
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
  • high Tool Misuse · line 90
    Tool calls are chained to bypass individual safety checks or escalate capabilities beyond what any single tool call would allow.
    Fix: Limit tool chaining depth and validate the output of each tool before passing it to the next. Require explicit user approval for multi-step chains.
  • high Privilege Escalation · line 164
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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-skill scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (tests/check-compose-precedence.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Terraform Release and Provisioner Safety

Prevent a valid-looking Terraform workflow from publishing unvalidated bytes or widening a change's blast radius. Keep the user's business outcome and the actual mutation surface ahead of plan counts, green wrappers, or process completeness.

Route the task

Operating contract

  1. Use the repository's canonical wrapper when it has one. Do not bypass it with a raw Terraform, SSH, SCP, helper-script, or console path because a gate rejects the planned release.
  2. Prefer provider resources, image baking, cloud-init, or configuration management. HashiCorp recommends exhausting purpose-built alternatives because Terraform cannot model provisioner side effects predictably. When a provisioner remains necessary, make its artifact, target, lock, validation, and readback explicit.
  3. Inventory every resource or recovery tool that can write the target runtime. A validator attached to only one writer does not protect another writer of the same shared service.
  4. Give staging and production one required-key schema. Let values differ; never let a key be required in one environment and optional, defaulted, absent, or allowed-empty in another.
  5. Validate the exact candidate bytes, Compose-rendered environment, and immutable runtime image before the first live write or restart. Keep post-deploy checks too: they detect damage but cannot prevent the first bad mutation.
  6. Treat a saved plan as an executable artifact. Bind it to reviewed source/artifact identity and apply that exact file. A successful apply is not a staging receipt; record promotion evidence only after every required live verifier succeeds.
  7. Require an explicit production decision at the last reversible point. A deadline, PLAN_DIGEST, CONFIRM_*, or agent inference is not production authorization.
  8. Stop after the requested result is verified. Do not turn a single-service fix into full-stack drift reconciliation, recovery redesign, or unrelated hardening.

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-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository daymade/claude-code-skills (1,384 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 3,328 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
