Does it work with self-hosted Terraform Enterprise?

Yes, by setting the TFE_ADDRESS environment variable to your private instance URL, the skill will route requests to your local enterprise API.

What permissions are required to use this skill?

You must provide a valid TFE_TOKEN environment variable with admin access to the target Terraform Cloud workspace to download plan JSON.

Can I see exactly what values are changing in a resource?

Yes, the skill provides commands to extract the 'before' and 'after' states of specific resource addresses from the JSON output.

Which versions of Terraform are supported?

This skill requires Terraform 0.12 or newer, as these versions introduced the standardized JSON format for plan outputs.

Why does the command return a 204 No Content error?

A 204 error typically indicates that the Terraform run is still in progress; you must wait for the plan phase to complete before the JSON output is available.

Cloud Infrastructure

Downloads and analyzes structured Terraform plan data from Terraform Cloud to programmatically inspect infrastructure changes.

The tfc-plan-json skill enables Claude to interface with the Terraform Cloud API to retrieve machine-readable plan outputs. By converting complex infrastructure plans into structured JSON, it allows for precise auditing of resource creations, updates, deletions, and replacements using jq-powered filtering. This is essential for developers and DevOps engineers who need to perform automated change summaries, verify specific attribute modifications, or debug complex infrastructure diffs within their Claude Code workflow.
