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 terramate-io/agent-skills at fb28900fe7.

    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

The Terramate best practices skill provides guidance on implementing the Terramate infrastructure-as-code platform effectively. It covers configuration standards, workflow automation, and integration patterns to ensure reliable Terraform deployments.

When to use it

  • Setting up a new Terramate workspace from scratch with industry-standard configurations.
  • Migrating existing Terraform codebases to Terramate without disrupting current operations.
  • Defining consistent module structures and variable handling across multiple environments.
  • Automating infrastructure changes through Terramate's workflow engine for CI/CD pipelines.

Key capabilities

  • Workspace initialization and configuration management
  • Module organization and dependency resolution
  • Variable definition and environment-specific overrides
  • Workflow creation for automated infrastructure updates
  • Integration with Terraform state files and remote backends
  • Policy enforcement and compliance checking within workflows

Example prompts

  • "How do I initialize a new Terramate workspace with multiple environments?"
  • "What are the best practices for organizing modules in a large-scale infrastructure project?"
  • "Can you show me how to create a workflow that automatically applies Terraform changes after code review?"

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Terraform version is compatible with the Terramate version you're using, as mismatches can cause deployment failures. Always test workflows in a staging environment before applying changes to production infrastructure.
