Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned lgbarn/devops-skills at 8a37cc3fe5.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to interact with Terraform state files. It can retrieve, update, and manage infrastructure state information, enabling automated infrastructure management tasks. Specifically, the agent can read existing state data and apply changes based on user instructions or predefined rules.

When to use it

  • Automated Infrastructure Updates: When you need an AI agent to automatically adjust your cloud resources (e.g., scaling up servers) based on current load or configuration.
  • Disaster Recovery Planning: To retrieve and analyze infrastructure state for disaster recovery scenarios, ensuring a consistent environment can be rebuilt.
  • Compliance Auditing: To verify that the actual infrastructure matches the defined Terraform state, aiding in compliance checks.
  • Infrastructure Cost Optimization: Analyze resource usage from the Terraform state to identify potential cost savings opportunities.

Key capabilities

  • Read existing Terraform state data.
  • Update Terraform state based on instructions.
  • Manage infrastructure configuration information.

Example prompts

  • "What is the current instance type of my web server?"
  • "Increase the number of database replicas in the Terraform state."
  • "Show me all resources defined in the current Terraform state."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires access to the Terraform state file, which may be stored remotely (e.g., AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage). Ensure the AI agent has appropriate credentials and permissions.
