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

mdr add iliaal/whetstone/terraform@git:20260227.215f429

Pins git:20260227.215f429 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Terraform and OpenTofu configuration, modules, testing, state management, and HCL review. Use for "terraform module", "terraform test", "infrastructure as code", "IaC", "HCL", "tfvars", "terraform plan", "terraform apply", "OpenTofu", "tftest", or multi-environment 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

## 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)

**Variables:** `description` → `type` → `default` → `validation` → `nullable`

Every variable needs `type` + `description`. Every output needs `description`. Mark secrets `sensitive = true`.

## Module Structure

| Type | Scope | Example |
|------|-------|---------|
| Resource Module | Single logical group | VPC + subnets, SG + rules |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add iliaal/whetstone/terraform@sha256:6595599b53f112fd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260227.215f429, 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.
