What it does
New Data Function is an agent skill from straubt1/tfx. Create a new function in the data/ package following project conventions
Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: TFx is a standalone CLI for HCP Terraform and Terraform Enterprise. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/new-data-function”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f7494e5. 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 go).
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 Data Function loads about 976 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 324 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

Data Layer Conventions
The data/ package is the sole boundary between TFx and the go-tfe SDK. All TFE/HCP Terraform API calls happen exclusively here. No other package should import go-tfe for API calls. This isolation makes the codebase easier to test and maintain.
Pagination — Always use client/pagination.go
Use client.FetchAll[T]() for all paginated list operations. Never write manual pagination loops. Use client.NewPaginationFromTFE() to convert go-tfe pagination. PageSize should always be 100.
Canonical example — data/projects.go:FetchProjects():
func FetchThings(c *client.TfxClient, orgName string) ([]*tfe.Thing, error) {
return client.FetchAll(c.Context, func(pageNumber int) ([]*tfe.Thing, *client.Pagination, error) {
opts := &tfe.ThingListOptions{
ListOptions: tfe.ListOptions{PageNumber: pageNumber, PageSize: 100},
}
result, err := c.Client.Things.List(c.Context, orgName, opts)
if err != nil {
return nil, nil, err
}
return result.Items, client.NewPaginationFromTFE(result.Pagination), nil
})
}Function Naming
| Pattern | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
Fetch* (plural) | Paginated list returning slice | FetchProjects, FetchWorkspaces |
Fetch* (singular) | Read single item by ID | FetchProject, FetchRun |
Fetch*ByName | Search + exact match by name | FetchProjectByName |
Get*ID | Resolve name to ID | GetWorkspaceID |
Create* / Update* / Delete* | State-changing operations | CreateVariable, DeleteVariable |
List* | List with optional maxItems limit | ListRegistryModules |
Function Signature
- First parameter is always
c *client.TfxClient - Return go-tfe types when possible (e.g.,
[]*tfe.Project) - When aggregating across multiple API calls, define custom result types in
cmd/views/to avoid import cycles (seecmd/views/run_policy.go:RunPolicyResult,cmd/views/admin_metrics.go:MetricsWorkspace)
SDK Gaps — Direct HTTP Calls
When go-tfe doesn't expose a needed field, use a direct HTTP call via c.Hostname and c.Token. See fetchEvaluationOutputs() in data/policy_checks.go for the pattern. Always add a comment explaining why the raw call is necessary.
Logging
Use output.Get().Logger() with structured key-value pairs:
Debug— function entry/exit with parametersTrace— per-page pagination detailsError— failures with full contextInfo— completion summaries with counts
Error Handling
- Use
github.com/pkg/errors— wrap with context:errors.Wrap(err, "message") - Use
errors.Errorf()for custom "not found" messages - In multi-item loops,
log.Error+continuefor individual item failures (don't fail the whole batch)
File Organization
- One file per resource:
data/projects.go,data/workspaces.go - File names use plural:
projects.go,variables.go - Integration tests co-located:
data/projects_integration_test.go

Questions about New Data Function
What does New Data Function do?
Create a new function in the data/ package following project conventions. New Data Function is an agent skill from straubt1/tfx.
How do I install New Data Function in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add straubt1/tfx --skill new-data-function -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/new-data-function in straubt1/tfx) into .claude/skills/new-data-function in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install New Data Function in Codex?
Run `npx skills add straubt1/tfx --skill new-data-function -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/new-data-function in straubt1/tfx) into .agents/skills/new-data-function in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use New Data Function 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 straubt1/tfx --skill new-data-function -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/new-data-function, .gemini/skills/new-data-function, .github/skills/new-data-function and .opencode/skills/new-data-function in your project.
What does New Data Function need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: New Data Function is instructions for the agent only.
Does New Data Function 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 New Data Function safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does New Data Function use?
New Data Function is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does New Data Function use?
About 976 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
