provider-framework-migration

provider-framework-migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hashicorp/agent-skills. It costs 133 tokens per session (2,068 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A guide to moving Terraform provider resources and data sources from the older Plugin SDKv2 to the newer Plugin Framework. Resources are the things Terraform manages; data sources read information without managing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up a provider that runs both implementations, migrate one resource at a time, translate schemas, and check compatibility risks.
Why use it?
It supports gradual migration instead of requiring the whole provider to be rewritten at once. It also highlights behavior differences that could unexpectedly change existing users' configurations.

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

provider-framework-migration 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.

Migrating from Plugin SDKv2 to the Plugin Framework

The Plugin Framework is required for net-new resources and data sources; SDKv2 is maintenance-only. Migration is per-resource and incremental: a muxed provider serves SDKv2 and Framework implementations side by side, so you never need a big-bang rewrite. This skill covers the mux setup, the per-resource workflow, and the behavioral traps that turn a mechanical translation into a silent breaking change.

Reference (load when needed):

  • references/schema-mapping.md — the full SDKv2 → Framework translation table with code pairs

Official guide: Framework migration.

Decide Whether to Migrate at All

Migration has real risk and little user-visible payoff, so triage first:

  • Do not migrate complex or heavily-used resources without a driving need (a Framework-only feature, a bug that SDKv2 cannot fix). The two SDKs differ behaviorally — most importantly around null versus zero values — and those differences surface as breaking changes for existing users. This is the standing policy in large providers like terraform-provider-aws.
  • Simple resources migrate safely: flat schemas, no DiffSuppressFunc, no CustomizeDiff, no StateFunc, no complex nested blocks.
  • New capabilities never require migrating old code — mux and write the new resource in the Framework alongside the old ones.

To tell what mode a provider is in, check go.mod: terraform-plugin-mux present means it already serves both; only terraform-plugin-sdk/v2 means SDKv2-only (mux setup is your first step); only terraform-plugin-framework means the migration is done.

Step 1: Mux the Provider

Combine both plugin servers in main.go. Serving protocol version 6 requires upgrading the SDKv2 server with tf5to6server (protocol 6 needs Terraform CLI >= 1.0; if you must support 0.12+, mux at protocol 5 with tf6to5server/tf5muxserver instead — but the Framework provider then cannot use protocol-6-only features like nested attributes):

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.
