pantheon-ai/terragrunt-generator
Comprehensive toolkit for generating best practice Terragrunt configurations (HCL files) following current standards and conventions. Use this skill when creating new Terragrunt resources (root configs, child modules, stacks, environment setups), or building multi-environment Terragrunt projects.

Validation for skill structure
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that thoroughly covers specific capabilities, includes comprehensive trigger terms that practitioners would naturally use, explicitly states both what the skill does and when to use it, and maintains a clear distinctive niche around Terragrunt specifically. The description uses proper third-person voice throughout and avoids vague language or buzzwords.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Generates terragrunt.hcl files, root configurations, child modules, stacks, and environment setups; configures remote state backends, dependency blocks, include blocks, feature flags, exclude blocks, and errors blocks.' Very comprehensive enumeration of capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (comprehensive list of generation and configuration capabilities) AND when with explicit 'Use when...' clause covering six specific trigger scenarios: creating projects, scaffolding environments, implementing DRY patterns, setting up remote state, managing dependencies, and building stacks. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'Terragrunt', 'HCL files', 'terragrunt.hcl', 'remote state', 'DRY Terraform', 'multi-environment', 'dev/staging/prod', 'OpenTofu', 'module dependencies', 'infrastructure modules', 'stacks'. These are terms practitioners naturally use. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very clear niche focused specifically on Terragrunt (not generic Terraform or IaC). The specific mentions of 'terragrunt.hcl', 'Terragrunt stacks', and 'DRY Terraform wrapper configurations' create distinct triggers unlikely to conflict with general Terraform or other IaC skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a high-quality skill with excellent actionability and workflow clarity. It provides concrete, executable guidance with proper validation checkpoints and clear multi-step processes. The main weakness is some verbosity and redundancy that could be tightened without losing clarity.
Suggestions
Consolidate the architecture pattern explanations - they appear in both the 'Architecture Patterns' section and are partially repeated in the 'Generation Workflow' checklist
Consider moving the detailed 'Presentation Requirements' section to a referenced file since it's prescriptive output formatting rather than core generation logic
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is comprehensive but includes some redundancy (e.g., architecture patterns explained multiple times, repeated validation checklists). Some sections could be tightened, though it largely avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable code examples throughout (HCL configurations, bash commands), specific template file paths to read, and copy-paste ready patterns. The generation workflow has explicit steps with checkboxes and validation commands. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Excellent multi-step workflow with explicit validation checkpoints at each stage (Step 4 has ordered generation with checklists, Step 5 is fix-and-revalidate loop). Includes feedback loops for error recovery and clear sequencing for multi-environment projects. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-structured with clear overview, then detailed sections. References to external files (templates, common-patterns.md, troubleshooting.md) are one level deep and clearly signaled in tables. Content is appropriately split between inline guidance and referenced materials. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
