A guide for aztfexport, a Microsoft tool that turns existing Azure resources into Terraform configuration and state. Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code tool that describes cloud resources in files so they can be managed consistently.

Use it to export one resource, a resource group, or resources selected by an Azure Resource Graph query.

It helps bring Azure infrastructure that already exists under Terraform management without writing every resource definition by hand.

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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

high Rogue Agent · line 112
Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.

Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00063	$0.01507
Opus 5	$0.00032	$0.00754

Security

Grade A, and why

aztfexport 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 9d 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.

aztfexport — Export Azure Resources to Terraform

Overview

aztfexport is a Microsoft tool that exports existing Azure resources into Terraform HCL + state. It reverse-engineers live Azure infrastructure into Terraform configurations. Use this for Azure-only workflows or Terraform versions before 1.14's native terraform query.

When to Use

Export a single Azure resource to Terraform → aztfexport resource
Export an entire resource group → aztfexport resource-group
Export resources matching an Azure Resource Graph query → aztfexport query
Bootstrapping IaC from existing Azure infrastructure

Use terraform-search-import skill instead when: Terraform >= 1.14 with terraform query + bulk import (multi-cloud, not Azure-specific).

Prerequisites

aztfexport installed: brew install aztfexport (macOS) or see GitHub releases
Azure CLI authenticated: az login + correct subscription selected
Architecture check (critical on macOS):
```
file $(which aztfexport)  # Check binary arch
uname -m                  # Check system arch
```
If mismatch (e.g., x86_64 binary on arm64 Mac), reinstall the correct architecture version.

Workflow

Step 1: Discover the Resource ID

Use Azure CLI to find the resource ID. See references/RESOURCE-DISCOVERY.md for patterns by resource type.

Generic fallback:

az resource list --query "[?name=='RESOURCE_NAME']" -o table

Step 2: Validate aztfexport Binary

file $(which aztfexport)
uname -m
aztfexport --version

Architecture mismatch causes cryptic failures. Always verify before first use on a new machine.

Step 3: Run aztfexport

Single resource:

aztfexport resource \
  --non-interactive \
  --plain-ui \
  -o ./terraform-export \
  "/subscriptions/SUB_ID/resourceGroups/RG/providers/TYPE/NAME"

Resource group:

aztfexport resource-group \
  --non-interactive \
  --plain-ui \
  -o ./terraform-export \
  RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME

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.
