About this skill

This skill provides guidance for using Terraform to manage infrastructure as code, covering state management, environment separation, module design, and safe deployment practices. It helps prevent common infrastructure risks such as state corruption, configuration drift, and unreviewed changes by establishing standardized workflows and CI guardrails. Developers and agents should use it when provisioning cloud resources, standardizing environments, or implementing controlled IaC pipelines.

Terraform

Quick Start (workflow)

terraform init
terraform plan -out=tfplan
terraform apply tfplan

Safety Checklist

State: remote backend + locking; separate state per environment
Reviews: plan in CI; apply from a trusted runner with approvals
Guardrails: prevent_destroy and policy checks for prod
