generating-infrastructure-as-code

Execute use when generating infrastructure as code configurations. Trigger with phrases like "create Terraform config", "generate CloudFormation template", "write Pulumi code", or "IaC for AWS/GCP/Azure". Produces production-ready code for Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, ARM templates, and CDK across multiple cloud providers.

Quality

Content

50%

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

The content is a clear, well-sectioned overview with a useful error-handling table, but it stays at an abstract level: it gives no executable code for the core generation task, lacks an explicit validation feedback loop, and ignores its own bundle files. Tightening the boilerplate and surfacing the bundled script/schema would lift it.

Suggestions

Add at least one concrete, copy-paste-ready HCL/CloudFormation snippet (e.g. a provider block with remote backend) under Instructions so the core generation task is executable, not just described.

Turn step 10 into an explicit feedback loop — validate, and if errors occur, fix and re-validate before proceeding to apply — and gate the apply/plan step on a passing validation.

Reference the existing bundle files inline (e.g. link scripts/iac_generate.py and assets/iac_config_schema.json) so the deeper materials are discoverable from SKILL.md.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly lean and avoids explaining what Terraform/Pulumi are, but the Overview partially restates the description and the Prerequisites/Resources sections add boilerplate that could be tightened; it is efficient but not fully stripped.

2 / 3

Actionability

Some concrete commands appear ("terraform validate", "terraform plan", "aws configure", "terraform force-unlock"), yet the core generation steps (3–9) are abstract directives ("Generate the provider configuration", "Define input variables") with no executable HCL/YAML examples, leaving the main task under-specified.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The 10 instructions are clearly sequenced and step 10 provides a validation check, but there is no explicit validate→fix→revalidate feedback loop for the generated configs, and for potentially destructive IaC apply operations a missing feedback loop caps this at 2.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are organized, but the body never references the provided bundle files (scripts/iac_generate.py, assets/iac_config_schema.json) that should be surfaced; well-structured yet not pointing to the deeper materials that exist.

Description

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.

The description is strong: it states concrete capabilities across multiple IaC tools, gives natural trigger phrases, and explicitly covers both what and when in third-person voice. Minor awkwardness in the opening ("Execute use when") does not materially weaken it.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names multiple concrete tools and actions — "generating infrastructure as code configurations" and "Produces production-ready code for Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, ARM templates, and CDK" — matching the anchor that lists several specific concrete actions.

3 / 3

Completeness

Answers both what (produces IaC for the listed tools/providers) and when (explicit "use when" plus "Trigger with phrases like...") with explicit trigger guidance, so it is not capped at 2; voice is third person ("Produces").

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrasings a user would say ("create Terraform config", "generate CloudFormation template", "write Pulumi code", "IaC for AWS/GCP/Azure"), giving good coverage of likely trigger terms rather than technical jargon.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It carves a clear niche (IaC generation across named tools/providers) with distinct, tool-specific triggers, making overlap with unrelated skills unlikely.
