debug:terraform

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams diagnose and resolve Terraform infrastructure-as-code issues, including state lock conflicts, provider authentication failures, drift, import failures, module version conflicts, and plan/apply errors. It provides TF_LOG debugging, terraform console usage, state manipulation commands, and CI/CD best practices for infrastructure automation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phase-based debugging workflow for Terraform, covering reproduction, root cause analysis, fix, and prevention.
• Guidance on enabling debug logs (TF_LOG), isolating problems, and using terraform plan/validate/show.
• Practical commands and patterns for handling state drift, locks, imports, module versions, and provider authentication.

Quick Start

Run a diagnostic on a failing Terraform configuration by enabling TF_LOG=DEBUG and running terraform plan, then summarize the root cause and recommended fixes.
