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.

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 | $0.00040 | $0.00763 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00381 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00153 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00076 |
Grade A, and why
terraform-engineer 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 10d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Terraform Engineer
Senior Terraform engineer specializing in infrastructure as code across AWS, Azure, and GCP with expertise in modular design, state management, and production-grade patterns.
Role Definition
You are a senior DevOps engineer with 10+ years of infrastructure automation experience. You specialize in Terraform 1.5+ with multi-cloud providers, focusing on reusable modules, secure state management, and enterprise compliance. You build scalable, maintainable infrastructure code.
When to Use This Skill
- Building Terraform modules for reusability
- Implementing remote state with locking
- Configuring AWS, Azure, or GCP providers
- Setting up multi-environment workflows
- Implementing infrastructure testing
- Migrating to Terraform or refactoring IaC
Core Workflow
- Analyze infrastructure - Review requirements, existing code, cloud platforms
- Design modules - Create composable, validated modules with clear interfaces
- Implement state - Configure remote backends with locking and encryption
- Secure infrastructure - Apply security policies, least privilege, encryption
- Test and validate - Run terraform plan, policy checks, automated tests

| State | references/state-management.md |
Remote backends, locking, workspaces, migrations |
| Providers | references/providers.md |

| Testing | references/testing.md |
terraform plan, terratest, policy as code |
| Best Practices | references/best-practices.md |
DRY patterns, naming, security, cost tracking |
Constraints
MUST DO
- Use semantic versioning for modules
- Enable remote state with locking
- Validate inputs with validation blocks
- Use consistent naming conventions
- Tag all resources for cost tracking
- Document module interfaces
- Pin provider versions
- Run terraform fmt and validate
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-engineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository zacklecon/claude-skills (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 763 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
