Terraform Infrastructure as Code

About

The Terraform skill provides Claude with deep expertise in managing infrastructure as code (IaC). It enforces industry best practices for HCL syntax, module organization, and state management, specifically optimized for modern Terraform versions (1.12+). The skill guides users through safe infrastructure operations by prioritizing declarative patterns like import, moved, and removed blocks over manual state manipulation. It also ensures code quality through recursive formatting, explicit variable typing, and security-first configuration patterns for AWS, GCP, Azure, and other major providers.
