What it does
Iac Terraform is an agent skill from ahmedasmar/devops-claude-skills. Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Terragrunt. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Terraform, Terragrunt, HCL, or infrastructure as code. Triggers include writing or reviewing .tf files, creating reusable modules, debugging terraform plan/apply errors, managing remote state and locks, fixing state drift, setting up CI/CD for Terraform, scaffolding new modules, validating module structure, and implementing Terragrunt DRY patterns across environments.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/templates/MODULE_TEMPLATE.md`, `assets/workflows/github-actions-terraform.yml` and `assets/workflows/github-actions-terragrunt.yml`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Infrastructure as code. It works with Terraform. The repository describes itself as: A Claude Code Skills Marketplace for DevOps workflows.
When your agent uses it
- The user mentions Terraform
- Infrastructure as code
- Include writing
- Reviewing .tf files
Example prompts
- “/iac-terraform”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- New Infrastructure Development
- State Management & Inspection
- Standard Terraform Workflow
- Troubleshooting Issues
- Code Review & Quality
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1489c33. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
terraformpython3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Iac Terraform loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 120 tokens; SKILL.md has 552 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 552 words (~2,641 tokens).
