Can this skill help with Azure Verified Module certification?

Yes, it contains detailed sections on AVM-specific requirements for providers, variables, outputs, and testing necessary for certification.

What standards does this Terraform skill follow?

This skill is based on HashiCorp's official Terraform style conventions and is enhanced with specific requirements for Azure Verified Modules (AVM).

Why use this skill instead of just running terraform fmt?

While terraform fmt handles syntax spacing, this skill provides deeper architectural guidance on naming, resource grouping, and module design that fmt cannot provide.

Does it support Terraform Stacks?

Absolutely. It provides guidance for working with Terraform Stack configurations, including .tfcomponent.hcl and .tfdeploy.hcl files.

How does it handle file organization?

The skill recommends a standardized structure separating logic into terraform.tf, providers.tf, main.tf, variables.tf, and outputs.tf for maximum clarity.
