Write or change the system's Terraform in the shape the guideline prescribes: one module graph shared by every environment, a variable for everything that differs, the autoscaling switch, the destroyable switch, the budget, the alarms, and the tags; then plan it under the read-only investigate profile and open a pull request. Never applies. Use for a new resource, a new environment, a size change, or a lever flip.
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
# ops-infra-as-code Every cloud resource is Terraform in this repository, and every change to the cloud is a pull request that the pipeline applies. This skill writes the change, proves it with a plan that cannot write, and opens the pull request. The apply is the deployer role's, through the workflow, after review. Read `../_shared/ops-preamble.md`, a path from this skill's folder, before the first step: the profiles, the account check, and the env file are there. ## Input `--env local|staging|production <change>` `--env` is required; ask for it when missing. `<change>` is what to do in one sentence: "add a bucket for exports", "raise the api max to six", "turn autoscaling on", "make staging destroyable". `local` has no Terraform to plan; the skill writes the change and runs `terraform fmt` and `terraform validate`, which need no credential, so the shape is testable with no cloud. ## Role and credential `--env local` needs no credential. `--env staging` and `--env production` run under the investigate profile of that environment, `acme-<env>-investigate`, checked with `sts get-caller-identity` before the plan as the preamble states. …

How to install
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/ops-infra-as-code@sha256:8d995ac12669e96cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.62aa70e, 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.
