# Terraform Skill for Claude
Diagnose-first guidance for Terraform and OpenTofu. Core file is a workflow; depth lives in references loaded on demand.
## Response Contract
Every Terraform/OpenTofu response must include:
1. **Assumptions & version floor** — runtime (`terraform` or `tofu`), exact version, providers, state backend, execution path (local/CI/Cloud/Atlantis), environment criticality. State assumptions explicitly if the user did not provide them.
2. **Risk category addressed** — one or more of: identity churn, secret exposure, blast radius, CI drift, compliance gaps, state corruption, provider upgrade risk, testing blind spots.
3. **Chosen remediation & tradeoffs** — what was chosen, what was traded off, why.
4. **Validation plan** — exact commands (`fmt -check`, `validate`, `plan -out`, policy check) tailored to runtime and risk tier.
5. **Rollback notes** — for any destructive or state-mutating change: how to undo, what evidence to keep.
Never recommend direct production apply without a reviewed plan artifact and approval.
Never run `terraform destroy` (targeted or full) without first running `terraform plan -destroy` and showing the user every resource that will be deleted — including implicit dependents pulled in via locals or `for_each`. Get explicit confirmation before proceeding. Never use `-auto-approve` on destroy.
## Workflow
1. **Capture execution context** — runtime+version, provider(s), backend, execution path, environment criticality.
2. **Diagn
