Provide step-by-step guidance for contributors based on their contribution type.

  • Works in 3 steps: Identify contribution type → Provide guidance → Reference
  • : new contributor questions
  • Calls make and go
  • How do I contribute

What it does

Contributor Guide is an agent skill from aztfmod/terraform-provider-azurecaf. Provide step-by-step guidance for contributors based on their contribution type. References CONTRIBUTING.md and project conventions. Triggers on: new contributor questions, 'how do I contribute', contribution guidance requests.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with GitHub and Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: Terraform provider for the Terraform platform engineering for Azure. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : new contributor questions
  • How do I contribute
  • Contribution guidance requests

Example prompts

  • “how do I contribute”
  • “/contributor-guide”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify contribution type
  2. Provide guidance
  3. Reference

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac74615. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make
    • go

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Contributor Guide loads about 545 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 236 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~545

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Contributor Guide

Procedure

1. Identify contribution type

Ask the contributor (or infer from context) what they want to do:

TypeDescription
new-resourceAdd a new Azure resource type to the provider
update-resourceUpdate an existing resource's naming constraints
bug-fixFix a bug in the provider logic
docsImprove documentation
testAdd or improve tests
2. Provide guidance

For new-resource contributions:

  1. Check if the resource already exists: grep '"name": "azurerm_<name>"' resourceDefinition.json
  2. Research naming constraints (see azure-naming-research skill)
  3. Create an issue describing the resource (or reference existing issue)
  4. Edit resourceDefinition.json — add the entry in alphabetical order
  5. Run go generate && make build to regenerate code and test
  6. Update CHANGELOG.md under ## [Unreleased] → ### Added
  7. Update README.md resource status table
  8. Submit PR using the template in .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md

For update-resource contributions:

  1. Find current definition: grep -A 15 '"name": "azurerm_<name>"' resourceDefinition.json
  2. Research current Azure naming rules
  3. Update the entry in resourceDefinition.json
  4. Run go generate && make build
  5. Update CHANGELOG.md under ## [Unreleased] → ### Changed
  6. Submit PR

For bug-fix contributions:

  1. Reproduce the bug with a test case
  2. Fix the code
  3. Verify fix with make build
  4. Update CHANGELOG.md under ## [Unreleased] → ### Fixed
  5. Submit PR

For docs contributions:

  1. Edit files under docs/ or README.md
  2. Verify markdown renders correctly
  3. Submit PR
3. Reference

Point the contributor to:

  • .github/CONTRIBUTING.md for full guidelines
  • .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md for the PR checklist
  • TESTING.md for test instructions
