What it does

New List Resource is an agent skill from hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Implement a new list resource in the Terraform AWS provider.

Its SKILL.md is about 200 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 and Amazon Web Services. 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

  • Tasks that involve Infrastructure as code

Example prompts

  • “/new-list-resource”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 64d3359. 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

New List Resource loads about 201 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 80 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~201

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: New List Resource

Assume the @maintainer persona.

Use this skill to add new list resource.

Refer to docs/new-list-resource.md for instructions. The task is complete when all list acceptance tests (TestAcc{Resource}_List) are passing.

When to use

Trigger this skill when the user:

  • Says "add a new list resource", or similar.

Inputs

Required:

  • The target resource name (e.g. aws_s3_bucket).

If the user provides a human readable name (e.g. "S3 Bucket") rather than the Terraform resource, confirm the target resource before proceeding.
