mav-bp-infrastructure-as-code

mav-bp-infrastructure-as-code is a skill for Claude Code from thermiteau/maverick. It costs 50 tokens per session (728 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Infrastructure-as-code guidance for defining deployed systems in version-controlled files. Infrastructure as code (IaC) describes servers, networks, and other hosted resources so they can be recreated consistently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar infrastructure definitions, managing state and secrets, checking environment differences, and writing fallback runbooks.
Why use it?
It reduces manual setup, configuration differences between environments, and accidental infrastructure changes. It also keeps secrets out of configuration files and requires review before destructive changes.

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

mav-bp-infrastructure-as-code 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.

Infrastructure as Code Standards

All infrastructure must be defined, versioned, and reproducible from code; manual provisioning is a last resort and must be documented in a runbook.

Maverick's Rules

  • Never auto-apply destructive changes — resource deletion or replacement requires human review before apply. CI follows validate → plan → review → apply; post the plan output to the pull request.
  • One provisioning tool per resource layer — do not mix (e.g.) Terraform and CloudFormation for the same resources.
  • Secrets never in IaC files — no credentials in definitions or variable files (including .tfvars); reference a secret manager with dynamic injection at deploy time, and mark secret outputs as sensitive.
  • State handling — remote backend with locking, state isolated per environment, never committed to the repository, never hand-edited (use the tool's state commands). Treat state files as sensitive.
  • Environment parity — one set of templates parameterised per environment; no separate per-env template copies. Promote dev → staging → prod; run regular plan/diff for drift detection.
  • Traceability — tag every resource (service, environment, owner, commit SHA); the CI apply identity has limited, audited permissions.
  • Runbook fallback — any unavoidable manual step gets a runbook stored alongside IaC (e.g., docs/runbooks/), including prerequisites, verifiable numbered steps, verification, rollback, owner, and whether it is temporary or should be migrated to IaC. Review runbooks like code.
  • IaC is versioned with application code and follows the same review/merge process. Container orchestration definitions (Helm, Kustomize, manifests) are IaC too.

Project Implementation Lookup

Check for docs/maverick/skills/infrastructure-as-code/SKILL.md. If present, read it and follow it — it wins on specifics (library, config, conventions). If missing, proceed with these standards and note the gap in your summary.

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.
