What it does
Terraform Provider Upgrade is an agent skill from thomast1906/github-copilot-agent-skills. Safe Terraform provider upgrades with automatic resource migration, breaking change detection, and state management using moved blocks. Use when upgrading provider versions, handling removed resources, migrating deprecated syntax, or performing major version upgrades.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/REFERENCE.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Infrastructure as code, Code migrations and State management. It works with Terraform. The repository describes itself as: Repo containing my GitHub Copilot Agent & Skills - continually experimenting!
When your agent uses it
- Upgrading provider versions
- Handling removed resources
- Migrating deprecated syntax
- Performing major version upgrades
Example prompts
- “/terraform-provider-upgrade”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Inventory Current State
- Check Latest Versions
- Research Breaking Changes
- Scan Codebase for Removed Resources
- Validate Argument Changes
- Apply Code Migrations
- Document Changes
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 554ac0b. 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 bash, hcl and markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
registry.terraform.iogithub.comdeveloper.hashicorp.com
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
Terraform Provider Upgrade loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 817 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 817 words (~3,914 tokens).
“This skill provides a comprehensive workflow for safely upgrading Terraform providers with automatic resource migration, breaking change detection, and proper state management.”
