# Terraform Module Builder This skill provides automated assistance for terraform module builder tasks. ## Overview This skill allows Claude to efficiently generate Terraform modules, streamlining infrastructure-as-code development. By utilizing the terraform-module-builder plugin, it ensures modules are production-ready, well-documented, and incorporate best practices. ## How It Works 1. **Receiving User Request**: Claude receives a request to create a Terraform module, including details about the module's purpose and desired features. 2. **Generating Module Structure**: Claude invokes the terraform-module-builder plugin to create the basic file structure and configuration files for the module. 3. **Customizing Module Content**: Claude uses the user's specifications to populate the module with variables, outputs, and resource definitions, ensuring best practices are followed. ## When to Use This Skill This skill activates when you need to: - Create a new Terraform module from scratch. - Generate production-ready Terraform configuration files. - Implement infrastructure as code using Terraform modules. ## Examples ### Example 1: Creating a VPC Module User request: "Create a Terraform module for a VPC with public and private subnets, a NAT gateway, and appropriate security groups." The skill will: 1. Invoke the terraform-module-builder plugin to generate a basic VPC module structure. 2. Populate the module with Terraform code to define the VPC, subnets, NAT gateway, and security groups based on best practices. ### Example 2: Generating an S3 Bucket Module User request: "Generate a Terraform module for an S3 bucket with versioning enabled, encryption at rest, and a lifecycle policy for deleting objects after 30 days." The skill will: 1. Invoke the terraform-module-builder plugin to create a basic S3 bucket module structure. 2. Populate the module with Terraform code to define the S3 bucket with the requested features (versioning, encryption, lifecycle policy). ## Best Practices - **Documentation**: Ensure the generated Terraform module includes comprehensive documentation, explaining the module's purpose, inputs, and outputs. - **Security**: Implement security best practices, such as using least privilege principles and encrypting sensitive data. - **Modularity**: Design the Terraform module to be reusable and configurable, allowing it to be easily adapted to different environments. ## Integration This skill integrates seamlessly with other Claude Code plugins by providing a foundation for infrastructure provisioning. The generated Terraform modules can be used by other plugins to deploy and manage resources in various cloud environments. ## Prerequisites - Appropriate file access permissions - Required dependencies installed ## Instructions 1. Invoke this skill when the trigger conditions are met 2. Provide necessary context and parameters 3. Review the generated output 4. Apply modifications as needed ## Output The skill produces structured output relevant to the task. ## Error Handling - Invalid input: Prompts for correction - Missing dependencies: Lists required components - Permission errors: Suggests remediation steps ## Resources - Project documentation - Related skills and commands
