terraform SKILL.md skillA

terraform from iliaal/ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add iliaal/ai-skills/terraform@git:20261011.09c16df

Pins git:20261011.09c16df in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Terraform and OpenTofu configuration, modules, testing, state management, and HCL review. Use when working with Terraform, OpenTofu, HCL, tfvars, tftest, state migration, or IaC patterns.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Terraform & OpenTofu

## Working rules

- Preserve state and resource addresses during refactoring; inspect the plan for unintended replacement.
- Separate tests with verified local or mocked effects from tests that access real services or create billable infrastructure. Plan mode can still read real data sources; mocked apply can run without infrastructure creation.

## File Organization & Naming

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `terraform.tf` | Terraform + provider version requirements |
| `providers.tf` | Provider configurations |
| `main.tf` | Primary resources and data sources |
| `variables.tf` | Input variables (alphabetical) |
| `outputs.tf` | Output values (alphabetical) |
| `locals.tf` | Local values |

- Lowercase with underscores: `web_api`, not `webAPI` or `web-api`
- Descriptive nouns excluding resource type: `aws_instance.web_api` not `aws_instance.web_api_instance`
- Singular, not plural
- `this` for singleton resources (one of that type per module)
- Contextual variable prefixes: `vpc_cidr_block` not `cidr`

## Block Ordering

**Resources:** `count`/`for_each` (blank line after) → arguments → nested blocks → `tags` → `depends_on` → `lifecycle` (last)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add iliaal/ai-skills/terraform@sha256:0fbc94b9588b9915

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.09c16df, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
