Terraform Infrastructure Skill
Installation
The skill invokes the Terraform CLI. Install:
- macOS:
brew tap hashicorp/tap && brew install hashicorp/tap/terraform
- Windows:
choco install terraform or download from HashiCorp
- Linux (apt): Add HashiCorp repo then
sudo apt update && sudo apt install terraform (see HashiCorp install)
Verify: terraform --version
Cheat Sheet & Best Practices
Workflow: terraform init → terraform fmt → terraform validate → terraform plan -out=tfplan → review → terraform apply tfplan. Use terraform show tfplan to inspect.
Hacks: Always run plan before apply; never apply blind. Use remote state (e.g. S3 + lock) for team work. Prefer -auto-approve only in CI with reviewed plans. Use terraform state list and terraform state show <resource> to debug. Use service accounts / workload identity in pipelines; avoid static keys.
Certifications & Training
HashiCorp Terraform Associate (004): IaC concepts, Terraform fundamentals, state, modules, Terraform Cloud. Learning path. Skill data: init → fmt → validate → plan -out → apply; remote state; no blind apply.
Hooks & Workflows
Suggested hooks: Pre-apply: run terraform plan -out=tfplan and gate on review. CI: apply only after plan approval. Use with devops (primary).
Workflows: Use with devops (primary). Flow: init → plan → review → apply; use state commands for debugging. See ci-cd-implementation-rule for pipeline integration.
Overview
Provides 90%+ context savings vs raw Terraform MCP server. Includes critical safety controls for infrastructure operations.
Requirements
- Terraform CLI (v1.0+)
- Cloud provider credentials configured
