To scaffold a new Terraform provider with Plugin Framework:
go get -u github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework@latest.main.gogo mod tidygo build -o /dev/nullgo test ./...Generate Terraform HCL code following HashiCorp's official style conventions and best practices. Use when writing, reviewing, or generating Terraform configurations.
Create, update, and review Terraform provider documentation for Terraform Registry using HashiCorp-recommended patterns, tfplugindocs templates, and schema descriptions. Use when adding or changing provider configuration, resources, data sources, ephemeral resources, list resources, functions, or guides; when validating generated docs; and when troubleshooting missing or incorrect Registry documentation.
Discover existing cloud resources using Terraform Search queries and bulk import them into Terraform management. Use when bringing unmanaged infrastructure under Terraform control, auditing cloud resources, or migrating to IaC.
Comprehensive guide for writing and running Terraform tests. Use when creating test files (.tftest.hcl), writing test scenarios with run blocks, validating infrastructure behavior with assertions, mocking providers and data sources, testing module outputs and resource configurations, or troubleshooting Terraform test syntax and execution.
Terraform provider acceptance test patterns using terraform-plugin-testing with the Plugin Framework. Covers test structure, TestCase/TestStep fields, ConfigStateChecks with custom statecheck.StateCheck implementations, plan checks, CompareValue for cross-step assertions, config helpers, import testing with ImportStateKind, sweepers, and scenario patterns (basic, update, disappears, validation, regression), and ephemeral resource testing with the echoprovider package. Use when writing, reviewing, or debugging provider acceptance tests, including questions about statecheck, plancheck, TestCheckFunc, CheckDestroy, ExpectError, import state verification, ephemeral resources, or how to structure test files.
Comprehensive guide for working with HashiCorp Terraform Stacks. Use when creating, modifying, or validating Terraform Stack configurations (.tfcomponent.hcl, .tfdeploy.hcl files), working with stack components and deployments from local modules, public registry, or private registry sources, managing multi-region or multi-environment infrastructure, or troubleshooting Terraform Stacks syntax and structure.
