Terraform & OpenTofu Skill for AI Agents

A best-practices skill for Terraform and OpenTofu, for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Codex, Kiro, and more). It helps the agent test code, structure modules, set up CI/CD, and write production infrastructure code.

AWS, Azure, and GCP are all first-class. AWS stays the default in examples, but the same backend, auth, security, and resource guidance applies to all three - ask for the Azure or GCP equivalent of any pattern and the skill maps it.

What this skill provides

Testing frameworks

Decision matrix for native tests vs Terratest
Testing workflows (static, integration, E2E)
Examples and patterns

Module development

Structure and naming conventions
Versioning strategies
Public vs private module patterns

State management

Remote backends (S3, Azure, GCS, Terraform Cloud)
Locking and security
Multi-team state isolation
Migration and recovery procedures

CI/CD integration

GitHub Actions workflows
GitLab CI examples
Cost optimization
Compliance automation

Security and compliance

Trivy and Checkov integration
Policy-as-code patterns
Compliance scanning workflows

Quick reference

Decision flowcharts
Common patterns (DO vs DON'T)
Cheat sheets

Installation

Installed through one Claude Code marketplace, antonbabenko/agent-plugins (terraform-skill is listed there as an external plugin). Do not also add antonbabenko/terraform-skill as a marketplace - both use the same marketplace name and will clash.

Quick install (any agent)

Works with any Agent Skills-compatible tool:

npx skills add https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill

Per-host instructions

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add antonbabenko/agent-plugins
/plugin install terraform-skill@antonbabenko

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill

Update with gemini extensions update terraform-skill.

Cursor

git clone https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill.git ~/.cursor/skills/terraform-skill

Cursor auto-discovers skills from .agents/skills/ and .cursor/skills/.

Copilot

/plugin install https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill
# or
git clone https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill.git ~/.copilot/skills/terraform-skill

Copilot auto-discovers skills from .copilot/skills/.

OpenCode

git clone https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill.git ~/.agents/skills/terraform-skill

OpenCode auto-discovers skills from .agents/skills/, .opencode/skills/, and .claude/skills/.

Codex (OpenAI)

git clone https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill.git ~/.agents/skills/terraform-skill

Codex auto-discovers skills from ~/.agents/skills/ and .agents/skills/. Update with cd ~/.agents/skills/terraform-skill && git pull.

For a managed Codex plugin install, use the antonbabenko/agent-plugins marketplace (codex plugin marketplace add antonbabenko/agent-plugins, then install terraform-skill). Do not add antonbabenko/terraform-skill as a separate marketplace - it clashes by name with agent-plugins.

Autohand Code

Install the skill globally:

git clone https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill.git
mkdir -p ~/.autohand/skills
cp -R terraform-skill/skills/terraform-skill ~/.autohand/skills/

Or install it only for the current project:

git clone https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill.git
mkdir -p .autohand/skills
cp -R terraform-skill/skills/terraform-skill .autohand/skills/

Autohand Code discovers skills from ~/.autohand/skills/ and .autohand/skills/.

Kiro

git clone https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill.git ~/.kiro/skills/terraform-skill

Kiro auto-discovers skills from .kiro/skills/ (workspace) and ~/.kiro/skills/ (global).

Antigravity/Antigravity IDE/Antigravity CLI

git clone https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-skill.git
ln -s "$(pwd)/terraform-skill/skills/terraform-skill" ~/.gemini/config/skills/terraform-skill

Update with git pull.
