Implementing infrastructure as code with Terraform across AWS, Azure, or GCP

terraform-engineer is an agent skill from the jeffallan claude-skills collection for implementing infrastructure as code with Terraform across AWS, Azure and GCP. It covers reusable module development, state management, security policies and production patterns. Its workflow has seven steps, and its safety rules are the most important part. The agent analyses the infrastructure and designs composable modules with clear interfaces. It configures remote state backends with locking and encryption and applies least-privilege security. Validation runs terraform fmt, terraform validate and tflint, and the agent fixes every reported error before continuing. The plan step writes a plan file and summarises the creates, updates and deletes, highlighting any destructive changes such as recreations or deletions. The apply step only runs after the agent presents the plan summary and receives explicit approval from the user. The skill refuses to apply the plan if approval is withheld, or if destructive changes are present and the user has not accepted them. Error recovery guides the agent through validation and plan failures. The skill suits teams that manage cloud infrastructure in code and want the agent to stop before making changes to live resources without review. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts and GitHub stars for the collection. Its Gen Agent Trust Hub audit is marked as failing, which the FAQ lists, while Socket and Snyk pass.
