provider-configuration

Implement Terraform provider configuration and authentication with the Plugin Framework: provider schema for credentials (Optional + Sensitive attributes), environment variable fallbacks, credential provider chains (static config, then environment variables, shared credentials file, and platform identity), unknown-value guards in Configure(), secret redaction, configure-time credential validation, and diagnostics that name every source tried. Use when implementing or reviewing a provider's Configure method or provider schema, adding authentication options (API keys, tokens, profiles, credentials files, assume-role), deciding how a provider should resolve credentials, debugging "no valid credential sources" or missing-credentials errors, or unit testing credential resolution.

Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

A well-structured, actionable body with executable Go examples, an explicit validation-gated workflow, and clean progressive disclosure into real reference files. Only minor conciseness trimming would improve it.

Suggestions

Tighten the 'Why each step matters' and prose rationale paragraphs to reduce tokens where the surrounding code already conveys intent.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Largely lean and assumes Claude's knowledge of Terraform and the Plugin Framework, but rationale sections like 'Why each step matters' and some explanatory prose could be trimmed slightly.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready, executable Go code for the schema, core types, and Configure method, with specific env var names, file paths, and a sentinel error covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The Configure workflow is clearly sequenced (unknown-value guards, chain resolution, client build) with explicit validation checkpoints and a sentinel-vs-hard-error feedback loop.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A clear overview with well-signaled, one-level-deep references to real bundle files (credential-chain.md, case-studies.md), plus an inline checklist; content is appropriately split and easy to navigate.

Description

92%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 strong, specific description that names many concrete capabilities and provides an explicit, multi-scenario 'Use when' trigger. Third-person voice is used throughout with no over-claims or fluff.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — Optional+Sensitive schema, env var fallbacks, credential provider chains, unknown-value guards, secret redaction, configure-time validation, diagnostics — with comprehensive coverage of the domain.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (the enumerated capabilities) and 'when' via a concrete 'Use when...' clause with multiple trigger scenarios.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural terms users would say ('Configure method', 'API keys, tokens, profiles, assume-role', 'no valid credential sources', 'missing-credentials errors'); a few synonyms/variations are absent but the domain is code rather than file formats.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche — Terraform Plugin Framework provider credential configuration — with distinct triggers and minimal overlap risk; related skills are named separately.
