Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
The terraform-test skill enables AI agents to validate and test infrastructure code written in Terraform. It supports running tests against Terraform configurations to ensure they meet expected standards, detect errors, and verify compliance with best practices.
When to use it
- Before deploying new infrastructure changes to catch issues early.
- To enforce coding standards and best practices across a team.
- During continuous integration (CI) pipelines to automate testing of Terraform code.
- When verifying that infrastructure as code aligns with security or compliance policies.
Key capabilities
- Runs validation checks on Terraform configurations.
- Detects syntax errors, misconfigurations, and policy violations.
- Integrates with CI/CD workflows for automated testing.
- Provides detailed feedback to help improve code quality.
Example prompts
- "Run tests on my Terraform configuration in the
infrastructuredirectory." - "Check if this Terraform plan complies with our security policies."
- "Validate that all resources are properly tagged according to company standards."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure your Terraform code is formatted correctly before running tests.
- Some advanced checks may require additional plugins or configurations to be enabled.
