About This Skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to automatically convert AWS CloudFormation templates into Pulumi programs. It parses Infrastructure as Code definitions written in JSON or YAML and generates equivalent, executable Pulumi code for deployment.
When to use it
- You have existing legacy infrastructure defined in CloudFormation but want to migrate to Pulumi's type-safe programming model.
- You need to refactor complex JSON/YAML templates into more maintainable Python, TypeScript, or Go scripts.
- Your team is transitioning from AWS-native IaC tools to a unified Pulumi workflow across multiple cloud providers.
- You require immediate code generation to bootstrap new projects based on proven CloudFormation architectures.
Key capabilities
- Parses standard AWS CloudFormation JSON and YAML templates.
- Generates idiomatic Pulumi programs in Python, TypeScript, or Go.
- Preserves resource definitions, properties, and logical dependencies from the source template.
- Handles complex nested stacks and parameter mappings during conversion.
Example prompts
- "Convert this AWS CloudFormation S3 bucket template into a Pulumi Python program."
- "Migrate my existing CloudFormation VPC configuration to Pulumi TypeScript with updated security group rules."
- "Generate a Pulumi Go stack that replicates the resources defined in this JSON CloudFormation file."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your input CloudFormation templates are syntactically valid before conversion, as errors will propagate to the generated code. While the tool handles standard resources well, manually review complex custom resource types or specific AWS feature flags post-generation to ensure full functional parity.
