terraform-aws

Comprehensive AWS infrastructure management with Terraform. Covers provider configuration, state management (S3 backend with native locking in Terraform 1.11+), common resource patterns (VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, EKS), module usage, and production best practices. Use when provisioning AWS infrastructure, managing Terraform state, creating VPCs, configuring IAM roles/policies, deploying databases, or troubleshooting Terraform/AWS issues.

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A strong, code-rich skill body with executable patterns across the major AWS resource types and well-signaled references. Its main weaknesses are redundant command listings and destructive workflows that lack explicit validation checkpoints.

Suggestions

Add explicit validation checkpoints to destructive workflows: in 'Plan and Apply', insert a step like 'Review the plan output; only proceed if changes are expected' before `terraform apply tfplan`, and add a post-apply verify step (e.g., re-run `terraform plan` to confirm no drift).

Remove the standalone 'Quick Reference Commands' section or fold it into 'Common Workflows' — it duplicates the terraform init/plan/apply/workspace commands already presented there.

Trim the repeated version banners and 'Keywords' line at the top, and move the full inline VPC/IAM/RDS resource patterns into the existing references to reduce overlap with vpc-networking.md and iam-security.md.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is mostly lean, code-focused content rather than concept re-explanation, but carries minor trimmable redundancy: the 'Quick Reference Commands' section duplicates init/plan/apply/workspace commands already shown in 'Common Workflows', and version banners plus a 'Keywords' line are repeated at top and bottom.	4 / 5
Actionability	Provides copy-paste-ready, executable HCL (VPC, S3, IAM, RDS, state backend, EKS module) and concrete bash commands covering the common cases, matching the level-5 anchor.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Workflows list command groups (init, plan, apply, import, workspace) but destructive operations (apply, destroy, state rm, force-unlock) lack explicit validation checkpoints or feedback loops; per the rubric cap, destructive/batch workflows without validation cannot score above 3.	3 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	A 'Detailed Documentation' section clearly signals three real, one-level-deep reference files with descriptive bullets, but the inline resource patterns (VPC, S3, IAM, RDS) are fairly heavy and overlap in topic with those reference files — a minor organization gap keeping it below 5.	4 / 5

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A well-crafted description that concisely states concrete capabilities and provides a rich, natural-language 'Use when' trigger clause covering the main AWS/Terraform use cases. It is specific, complete, and distinct with no over-claims.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names concrete resource types (VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, EKS) plus specific capabilities (provider configuration, S3 native locking, module usage) and concrete actions in the trigger clause (provisioning, creating VPCs, deploying databases) — comprehensive coverage matching the level-5 anchor.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both 'what' (Covers provider configuration, state management, resource patterns, module usage, best practices) and 'when' (Use when provisioning... or troubleshooting) with concrete trigger phrases, matching the level-5 anchor.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	The 'Use when...' clause lists natural phrases users actually say ('provisioning AWS infrastructure', 'creating VPCs', 'configuring IAM roles/policies', 'deploying databases', 'troubleshooting Terraform/AWS issues'), giving comprehensive natural-term coverage.	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The combined Terraform-on-AWS niche with distinct resource-specific triggers (VPC, IAM, RDS, EKS, S3 state locking) is clearly distinguishable with minimal overlap risk against generic Terraform or AWS skills.	5 / 5
