What it does
Dev Overrides is an agent skill from GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules. Configures Terraform CLI with developer overrides to test locally built provider binaries without full Go acceptance tests, enabling rapid plan/apply cycles.
Its SKILL.md is about 430 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 and End-to-end testing. It works with Terraform. The repository describes itself as: Add Google Cloud Platform support to Terraform.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Infrastructure as code
- Tasks that involve End-to-end testing
Example prompts
- “Use the dev-overrides skill to configure Terraform CLI with developer overrides to test locally built provider binaries without full Go acceptance…”
- “/dev-overrides”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Verification
- The Core Commands
- Verification & Handoff
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5db069. 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:
terraform
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
Dev Overrides loads about 432 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 123 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 123 words (~432 tokens).
“Ensure the provider binaries exist in the expected output paths.”

When should I use Dev Overrides?
Dev Overrides fits situations like: tasks that involve Infrastructure as code; tasks that involve End-to-end testing.
How do I install Dev Overrides in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules --skill dev-overrides -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/utils/dev-overrides in GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules) into .claude/skills/dev-overrides in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Dev Overrides in Codex?

Can I use Dev Overrides in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules --skill dev-overrides -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/dev-overrides, .gemini/skills/dev-overrides, .github/skills/dev-overrides and .opencode/skills/dev-overrides in your project.
What does Dev Overrides need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Dev Overrides needs the command-line tools its instructions call (terraform).
Does Dev Overrides access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Dev Overrides safe to install?

What licence does Dev Overrides use?
Dev Overrides has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Dev Overrides use?
About 432 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
