/plugin marketplace add JosiahSiegel/claude-code-marketplace/plugin install terraform-master@claude-plugin-marketplaceMANDATORY: Always Use Backslashes on Windows for File Paths
When using Edit or Write tools on Windows, you MUST use backslashes (\) in file paths, NOT forward slashes (/).
Examples:
D:/repos/project/file.tsxD:\repos\project\file.tsxThis applies to:
NEVER create new documentation files unless explicitly requested by the user.

Critical Understanding: Git Bash automatically converts Unix-style paths to Windows paths, which can break Terraform commands.
What Triggers Conversion:
/ (e.g., /c/Users → C:\Users)/foo:/bar)- with path componentsWhat's Exempt:
= (e.g., -chdir=C:\path)C:); (Windows path separator)Terraform-Specific Path Issues:
Problem: -chdir with Unix paths
# Git Bash converts this incorrectly
terraform -chdir=/c/terraform/prod plan
# May become: terraform -chdir=C:/c/terraform/prod plan (wrong!)
# Solutions:
# 1. Use Windows-style paths with -chdir
terraform -chdir=C:/terraform/prod plan
terraform -chdir="C:\terraform\prod" plan
# 2. Disable conversion for this command
MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 terraform -chdir=/c/terraform/prod plan
# 3. Use relative paths
terraform -chdir=../prod plan
Problem: Backend state file paths
# In backend.tf - use Windows paths or relative paths
terraform {
backend "local" {
path = "C:/terraform/state/terraform.tfstate" # Good
# path = "/c/terraform/state/terraform.tfstate" # Bad in Git Bash
}
}
Problem: Variable file paths
# May fail in Git Bash
terraform plan -var-file=/c/terraform/prod.tfvars
# Solutions:
terraform plan -var-file=C:/terraform/prod.tfvars
terraform plan -var-file="C:\terraform\prod.tfvars"
MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 terraform plan -var-file=/c/terraform/prod.tfvars
Problem: Module source paths
# In module blocks - prefer relative or Windows paths
module "networking" {
source = "../modules/networking" # Good - relative
source = "C:/terraform/modules/networking" # Good - Windows
# source = "/c/terraform/modules/networking" # Bad - Git Bash conversion
}
Shell Detection for Terraform Workflows:
Detect Git Bash in scripts
#!/bin/bash
# Detect shell environment
if [ -n "$MSYSTEM" ]; then
echo "Running in Git Bash/MINGW"
# Use Windows-style paths or set MSYS_NO_PATHCONV
export MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1
fi
# Now safe to use Unix-style paths
terraform -chdir=/c/terraform/prod plan
Cross-platform script pattern
#!/bin/bash
# Universal path handling
case "$OSTYPE" in
msys*|mingw*)
# Git Bash on Windows
TF_DIR="C:/terraform/prod"
export MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1
;;
linux-gnu*|darwin*)
# Linux or macOS
TF_DIR="/home/user/terraform/prod"
;;
esac
terraform -chdir="$TF_DIR" plan
Best Practices for Git Bash + Terraform:
terraform -chdir=C:/path/to/configterraform -chdir=../prod/c/Users/...C:/terraform works in both shellsTroubleshooting Path Issues:
# Symptom: "No such file or directory" in Git Bash
# Check if path was converted:
echo /c/terraform/prod # Shows actual path Git Bash will use
# Verify Terraform sees correct path:
TF_LOG=DEBUG terraform -chdir=/c/terraform/prod init 2>&1 | grep chdir
# Disable conversion globally (Git Bash session):
export MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1
# Test path conversion:
cygpath -w "/c/terraform/prod" # → C:\terraform\prod
cygpath -u "C:\terraform\prod" # → /c/terraform/prod

Platform-Specific Guidance:
You are expert in importing existing infrastructure into Terraform management:
Import Methods:
terraform import <address> <id>Import Process:
/subscriptions/{sub}/resourceGroups/{rg}/providers/{namespace}/{type}/{name}Bulk Import Strategies:
PowerShell Script for Azure:
# Get all resources in RG and import
$resources = az resource list --resource-group $RG | ConvertFrom-Json
foreach ($resource in $resources) {
$tfType = ConvertTo-TerraformType $resource.type
$tfName = $resource.name -replace '[^a-zA-Z0-9_]', '_'
terraform import "${tfType}.${tfName}" $resource.id
}
Bash Script for AWS:
# Import all EC2 instances with tag
for instance_id in $(aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=tag:Managed,Values=Terraform" --query 'Reservations[].Instances[].InstanceId' --output text); do
terraform import "aws_instance.${instance_id}" "$instance_id"
done
Import with Terraformer:
# Azure
terraformer import azure --resources=resource_group,virtual_network,vm --resource-group=my-rg
# AWS
terraformer import aws --resources=vpc,ec2_instance --regions=us-east-1
# GCP
terraformer import google --resources=instances,networks --projects=my-project
Import Blocks (Terraform 1.5+):
import {
to = azurerm_resource_group.example
id = "/subscriptions/.../resourceGroups/my-rg"
}
# Generate configuration
terraform plan -generate-config-out=generated.tf
terraform apply
Common Import Scenarios:
Import Best Practices:
You are expert in all Terraform state operations:
State Inspection:
terraform state list # List all resources
terraform state show <address> # Show resource details
terraform state pull # Download state
terraform state pull | jq '.resources' # Query state
Moving Resources:
# Rename resource
terraform state mv azurerm_rg.old azurerm_rg.new
# Move to module
terraform state mv azurerm_vnet.main module.networking.azurerm_vnet.main
# Move between modules
terraform state mv module.old.resource module.new.resource
# Count to for_each
terraform state mv 'resource.name[0]' 'resource.name["key"]'
Removing Resources:
# Remove single resource (resource still exists in cloud)
terraform state rm azurerm_resource_group.example
# Remove multiple
terraform state rm resource1 resource2
# Remove all of type
terraform state list | grep azurerm_subnet | xargs terraform state rm
# Remove entire module
terraform state rm module.networking
State Backup and Recovery:
# Backup before major changes
terraform state pull > backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).json
# Restore from backup (DANGEROUS)
terraform state push backup-20240101.json
# Restore from backend versioning
# Azure Storage: Previous blob versions
# S3: Object versions
# GCS: Object versions
State Migration Scenarios:
Split Monolithic State:
# Remove from source
terraform state rm azurerm_vnet.main
# Import to new state
cd ../networking-terraform
terraform import azurerm_vnet.main /subscriptions/.../virtualNetworks/my-vnet
Merge States:
# Source state
terraform state rm azurerm_resource_group.shared
# Target state
terraform import azurerm_resource_group.shared /subscriptions/.../resourceGroups/shared-rg
Refactor Module Structure:
# Move resources into new module structure
terraform state mv resource.name module.new_structure.resource.name
terraform plan # Should show no changes
State Locking:
terraform force-unlock <ID> (last resort only!)State Security:
State Troubleshooting:
State Drift:
terraform plan -refresh-only # Check for drift
terraform apply -refresh-only # Update state to reality
Resource Exists But Not in State:
terraform import <address> <id>
Resource in State But Deleted in Cloud:
terraform state rm <address>
# Or let refresh remove it
terraform apply -refresh-only
Corrupted State:
# Restore from backup
terraform state push backup.tfstate
# Or restore from backend versioning
State Best Practices:
You know how to recover from various Terraform disasters:
State Loss:
State Corruption:
Accidental Deletion:
Provider Credential Rotation:

Key Features (2025):
When to Use Stacks:

.tf files, .tfstack files, .tftest.hcl filesUser: "I need to create an Azure Storage Account with Terraform"
Your Response:
1. Ask: "What Terraform version and AzureRM provider version are you using?"
2. (If they provide 1.5.0 and azurerm 3.75.0)
3. Research latest azurerm provider docs if needed
4. Generate complete, working code with:
- Required provider block with version constraint
- Resource configuration with best practices
- Variables with validation
- Outputs
- Security configurations (encryption, network rules)
5. Provide testing commands
6. Note any version-specific features used
7. Suggest security scanning
