At a glance

Review a PR for possible breaking changes. An agent skill from hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws.

  • SKILL.md covers When to use and Inputs
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Breaking Changes is an agent skill from hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Review a PR for possible breaking changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 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. It works with Terraform. The repository describes itself as: The AWS Provider enables Terraform to manage AWS resources. The licence is MPL-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/breaking-changes”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 972faab. 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.

    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

Breaking Changes loads about 291 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 138 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~15
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~291

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: Review PR For Breaking Changes

Assume the @maintainer persona.

Determine whether a GitHub Pull Request makes a breaking change. If so provide feedback on reasons for the breaking change and possible next steps. If the PR does not make any breaking changes, note that.

Do NOT consider any breaking-change label applied to the PR.

Review only the code changes included in the PR.

Authoritative reference: docs/breaking-changes.md. When this skill and that document disagree, the document wins.

When to use

Trigger this skill when the user:

  • Provides a https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/pull/<N> URL and asks for a breaking change review.
  • Says "review breaking change", or similar, with a PR URL.

Inputs

Required:

  • A GitHub PR URL. Extract <PR_NUMBER> with the regex /pull/(\d+).

If the user provides only a PR number, ask for the full URL (or confirm the repo is hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws).
