How do I handle environment-specific states?

The skill provides guidance on both directory-based separation (recommended for production) and CLI-based workspaces for flexible environment management.

Can I use this for multi-cloud environments?

Yes, it includes detailed implementation patterns for AWS S3, Azure Storage, GCP Cloud Storage, and Terraform Cloud backends.

How does this skill help with Terraform state locking?

It provides configurations for DynamoDB and other backends to prevent concurrent modifications and includes commands for safely force-unlocking stale locks.

Does it support modern Terraform import features?

Yes, it covers basic CLI imports as well as the config generation features introduced in Terraform 1.5+.

Deployment & DevOps

Manages Terraform remote state backends, locking mechanisms, and complex state operations to ensure infrastructure consistency.

About

The terraform-state skill provides comprehensive guidance for mastering Terraform's most critical component: the state file. It enables Claude to assist with configuring remote backends for AWS, Azure, and GCP, implementing robust state locking with DynamoDB, and performing advanced state manipulations like imports, moves, and removals. Whether you are troubleshooting lock acquisition errors, managing multi-environment workspaces, or detecting infrastructure drift, this skill ensures best practices for data integrity and secure infrastructure-as-code deployments.
