At a glance

Review generated code in the Terraform AWS Provider (files ending in gen.go produced by go generate).

  • A PR changes internal/service//gen.go — check whether the generator was run
  • SKILL.md covers What to review and What NOT to review
  • Calls make
  • Whether the diff is plausible for the source change

What it does

Review Generated is an agent skill from hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Review generated code in the Terraform AWS Provider (files ending in gen.go produced by go generate). Use when a PR changes internal/service//gen.go — check whether the generator was run, whether the diff is plausible for the source change, and whether files were hand-edited. Do NOT apply hand-written-code rules to these files.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 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

  • A PR changes internal/service//gen.go — check whether the generator was run
  • Whether the diff is plausible for the source change
  • Whether files were hand-edited

Example prompts

  • “/review-generated”

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make

    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

Review Generated loads about 482 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 175 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~482

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.

Review: Generated Code

Assume the @maintainer persona. Scope: files ending in _gen.go, produced by the code generators (make gen; templates and generator code live under internal/generate/). Common examples: service_package_gen.go, tags_gen.go, service_endpoint_resolver_gen.go, *_identity_gen_test.go, *_tags_gen_test.go. Loaded from review-pr.

What to review

  • Whether the file should exist at all — was the generator run after the source change that motivated it?
  • Diff plausibility — additions/removals match the source changes (a new resource added one annotation should produce a localized diff, not a wholesale rewrite of unrelated registrations).
  • Manual edits — almost always a mistake. The legitimate flow is: change the source (annotation, template, or generator code under internal/generate/) → regenerate (make gen PKG=<service>, or the provider-wide make gen when the change is under internal/generate/) → commit the regenerated file. Flag PRs that modify _gen.go files without a corresponding source-side change.

What NOT to review

  • Style, naming, formatting, comment wording, import ordering, structural refactors. The generator owns these.
  • Suggested simplifications, "extract helper" suggestions, or any cleanup not reachable from the generator's templates.
  • Rules from review-lifecycle, review-schema, review-helpers, review-identity, or review-tags. Those target hand-written code.
