terraform-validator SKILL.md skillA

terraform-validator from pantheon-org/tekhne is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/terraform-validator@git:20260724.ab79ade

Pins git:20260724.ab79ade in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, testing, and automating Terraform configurations and HCL files. Use this skill when working with Terraform files (.tf, .tfvars), validating infrastructure-as-code, debugging Terraform configurations, performing dry-run testing with terraform plan, or working with custom providers and modules.

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 Validator

Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, and testing Terraform configurations with automated workflows for syntax validation, security scanning, and intelligent documentation lookup.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

- Validate `.tf` or `.tfvars` files for syntax, provider-schema, and type correctness.
- Lint Terraform against style and correctness rules with `tflint`.
- Run a security scan (Checkov/Trivy) and produce an evidence-cited findings report.
- Dry-run a change with `terraform plan` before it is applied.
- Diagnose a validation or provider error against a known-error database.

When NOT to use this skill:

- Generating new Terraform from scratch — use `terraform-generator` instead.
- Applying changes to real infrastructure (`terraform apply`) — validation stops at plan; apply is an operator decision, not a validation step.
- Non-Terraform IaC (CloudFormation, Pulumi, Bicep) — the parsers and rule sets here are Terraform-specific.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/terraform-validator@sha256:f3a49694cf6e29e3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260724.ab79ade, 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.
