What it does
Example Generator is an agent skill from aztfmod/terraform-provider-azurecaf. Generate Terraform example configurations for a given resource type using the azurecaf provider. Produces ready-to-use HCL code for documentation or onboarding. Triggers on: documentation requests, example creation, contributor guidance.
Its SKILL.md is about 450 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Infrastructure as code. It works with Terraform. The repository describes itself as: Terraform provider for the Terraform platform engineering for Azure. The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are hcl and bash).
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
Example Generator loads about 446 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 41 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
The full file from aztfmod/terraform-provider-azurecaf at commit ac74615, republished under its MIT licence (© aztfmod). 41 words, ~446 tokens.

Example Generator
Procedure
1. Look up resource definition
grep -A 15 '"name": "<resource_name>"' resourceDefinition.jsonExtract: name, slug, min_length, max_length, scope, dashes, lowercase.
2. Generate basic example
resource "azurecaf_name" "example" {
name = "demo"
resource_type = "<resource_name>"
prefixes = ["dev"]
suffixes = ["001"]
random_length = 3
clean_input = true
}
output "name" {
value = azurecaf_name.example.result
}
# Expected output format: <slug>-dev-demo-<random>-001
# Length: <min_length>-<max_length> characters3. Generate data source example
data "azurecaf_name" "example" {
name = "demo"
resource_type = "<resource_name>"
prefixes = ["prod"]
suffixes = ["eu"]
}
output "name" {
value = data.azurecaf_name.example.result
}4. Generate multi-resource example
If the user wants examples showing multiple resources:
resource "azurecaf_name" "multi" {
name = "myapp"
resource_types = [
"<resource_name_1>",
"<resource_name_2>",
]
prefixes = ["dev"]
random_length = 3
}
output "results" {
value = azurecaf_name.multi.results
}5. Generate passthrough example
resource "azurecaf_name" "passthrough" {
name = "my-existing-name"
resource_type = "<resource_name>"
passthrough = true
}
# Output: my-existing-name (validated against naming rules only)© aztfmod, MIT. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file
