Add a Render env variable to Terraform

This skill declares a new Terraform Cloud variable so a value can be set via the TFC UI and consumed by the Render backend services. It only does the plumbing — it does not wire the variable into a Render env group. Wiring requires picking the right *_config / *_secrets object in terraform/modules/render_service/, which is task-specific and the user should drive.

Inputs

The skill takes two positional args from the invocation: /render-env <name> <description>.

• ${name} — the Terraform variable name in snake_case. Used verbatim as the TFC variable key, the tfe_variable resource suffix, and the variable block name. Example: stripe_climate_api_key.
• ${description} — a short human-readable description. Used in the attribute and (with the env appended) in the per-env tfe_variable description. Example: .
