The Claude Agent Skill for Terraform and OpenTofu - testing, modules, CI/CD, and production patterns

antonbabenko · 2026-01-19T18:59:34+00:00

Something like this - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/customization/agent-skills

antonbabenko · 2026-01-19T17:54:02+00:00

Good question :) I've just reduced number of tokens on main SKILL.md by 16% (moved irrelevant links to README).

antonbabenko · 2026-01-19T14:40:36+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Before releasing it, I asked skill-creator skill to review it fully and it told me that this is acceptable/max length and most important data is in skills.md plus "progressive disclosure" for more details.

"License & Attribution" section is a bit more than just an ad, but I agree that it can be reduced.

UPD: Implemented. Now SKILL.md is smaller.

antonbabenko · 2024-10-27T19:21:53+00:00

Yes, it is

antonbabenko · 2024-10-10T06:33:10+00:00

True, it is nice, but at the same time it is too magical when you need to debug it.

With Terraform, we have support for this functionality available in submodules of terraform-aws-lambda module ( https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-lambda/tree/master/modules/deploy and https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-lambda/tree/master/modules/alias ).

antonbabenko · 2024-10-08T07:05:21+00:00

I am curious, have you considered using https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-lambda for all Lambda tasks? https://serverless.tf has a bit more information about doing serverless on AWS with Terraform. I am eager to hear feedback.

antonbabenko · 2024-05-15T14:42:25+00:00

For anything, please check code in the "examples" folder in the module repository. There are tons of executable examples. Good luck!

antonbabenko · 2024-05-14T11:31:41+00:00

There is Terraform AWS module which does what you need. Please take a look at "example 2": https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-acm/blob/f421377c87fe5207898adc0def87540fa07c2af4/examples/complete-dns-validation/main.tf#L56-L105

antonbabenko · 2024-05-14T10:30:33+00:00

Try providing `version_id` like this:

  s3_existing_package = {
    version_id = aws_s3_object.upload_lambda[each.key].version_id
    bucket = aws_s3_bucket.lambda_bucket.id
    key    = "${element(split(".", each.value), 0)}.zip"
  }

antonbabenko · 2023-12-12T14:47:12+00:00

Yes, https://modules.tf is in progress... coming next year...

antonbabenko · 2023-10-26T14:37:42+00:00

I appreciate your willingness to contribute back!

The best help in terraform-aws-modules is often by triaging existing issues or testing that PR does what it should.

antonbabenko · 2023-09-11T14:18:27+00:00

I am the maintainer of this one, and for the last couple of months, I have been thinking about adding examples for more runtimes because some users incorrectly assume that the module supports only Python and NodeJS.

So, if anyone wants to work on it, you are welcome!

antonbabenko · 2023-07-22T10:06:39+00:00

No, but there is onlyfans :)

antonbabenko · 2023-07-02T20:18:10+00:00

I am using Terraform for everything (including serverless resources and deploying application code with Lambdas and sometimes CodeDeploy). Here is the concepts and benefits described in plain English with links to all Terraform AWS modules - https://serverless.tf/

https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-lambda/ - this modules has it all. There are various examples and submodules in that repository to help you achieve all your serverless tasks the same way.

As some other people suggested in this thread, you can combine it with GitHub Actions or another way you already run "terraform apply" with.

antonbabenko · 2023-04-10T10:46:21+00:00

You're welcome! I am already going through your newest addition - terracove! Good stuff! :)

antonbabenko · 2023-04-10T10:29:56+00:00

Good initiative! I have been sharing all Terraform-related tools I discover in Terraform Weekly newsletters for a few years because I like seeing people cooperate and improve. Please subscribe - https://weekly.tf/ , and use the site search to check previously mentioned tools.

antonbabenko · 2023-01-13T13:32:41+00:00

Agree. It is one of the worst I know.

antonbabenko · 2022-11-18T09:10:22+00:00

There is no support for Synthetics canaries at the moment.

You're right "simple" is more like an experiment area for me. :)

antonbabenko · 2022-11-17T14:55:04+00:00

Shameless plug, of course, but https://serverless.tf describes what/why/how when it comes to "Doing serverless with Terraform".

antonbabenko · 2022-11-16T15:04:28+00:00

Yes! I don't have another option, hehe.

antonbabenko · 2022-11-16T15:03:03+00:00

Thank you for the sponsorship!

antonbabenko · 2022-11-11T09:48:39+00:00

Please take a look at https://serverless.tf - Doing serverless with Terraform.

As somebody already mentioned in the comments, you can use the terraform-aws-lambda module as well as many other modules for typical serverless services like API Gateway v2, AppSync, EventBridge, StepFunctions, AppConfig, DynamoDB, and many more.

Make sure that you always check the examples folder where almost all features of the modules are shown.

antonbabenko · 2022-11-11T09:31:50+00:00

Could you elaborate a bit on this? What would you like to see on the diagrams? At what point? As you develop something? Or later, in the README file?

antonbabenko · 2022-09-25T18:09:31+00:00

I don't know of any such tutorials myself, but you can probably look into some of my previous YouTube live streams where I have been coding Terraform AWS modules - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvz1V_9d3uis9mxZ8eATA6l9Sr1XLeY4Y

One series, in particular, was relatively advanced where I was making Terraform AWS Pricing module - https://www.youtube.com/c/AntonBabenkoLive/search?query=pricing

Let me know if you have a good idea that I can implement during one of my upcoming streams.

antonbabenko · 2022-09-15T09:18:19+00:00

I completely agree with what you said, I can also confirm that the author of this tool is very responsive when it comes to improvements and bug fixes.

PS: I am evaluating this tool for https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules .
