View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
Scaffolds a new Terraform provider project using the Plugin Framework. Sets up the Go module, installs dependencies, writes a main.go entry point, and verifies the build compiles and tests pass.
Manually bootstrapping a Terraform provider requires cross-referencing the Plugin Framework docs, writing correct main.go boilerplate, and running several go commands in the right order — this skill handles all of it in one step.
When to use it
- Starting a new Terraform provider from a clean directory structure
- Wiring up the Plugin Framework entry point without reading through boilerplate docs
- Generating a provider workspace that builds and passes tests out of the box
- Adding a second provider to a repo without mixing it into an existing workspace
- Getting a go.mod and dependency tree in place before writing the first resource
