The Terraform Claude Skill

Anton Babenko created this skill. If you've used Terraform, you've probably used his modules - they've been downloaded hundreds of millions of times.

The skill turns Claude from a "general-purpose engineer" into a Terraform and infrastructure pro.

It's built on four pillars:

1. The Engine
Claude follows a strict loop: init → validate → plan. It treats your state file as the source of truth.

2. The Guardrails
No more monolithic files. It enforces modularity, naming conventions, and tagging strategies that work for teams.

3. The Expert Brain
It handles complex logic like nested for_each loops and dynamic blocks. It also forces Claude to work with real documentation instead of hallucinating.

4. The Integrated Stack
Claude uses tflint for linting, tfsec for security checks, and infracost to show you costs before you deploy.

The result? Instead of code that "works," you get code that's production-ready.

We ran a comparison. Same prompt, with and without the skill. The difference was huge:

• Skill version: Fully configurable variables, proper test structure, security checks, cost estimation
• No skill: Hardcoded values, tests in wrong location, no security validation
