What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the generation of compliant infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates for Terraform, CDK TypeScript, CloudFormation YAML, and CDK for Terraform. It saves developers time and ensures consistent template quality across all four formats.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Generate IaC in Four Formats: Outputs compliant templates for Terraform, CDK TypeScript, CloudFormation YAML, and CDK for Terraform.
• Parameter Coverage Matrix: Ensures that every parameter defined for each control is covered by the templates.
• Cross-generator Consistency: Enforces rules to maintain consistency across different formats.
• Quality Rules Enforcement: Ensures the correct inclusion of parameters, property names, and resource policies.
• Control ID Annotations: Tags each resource property with the associated control ID.
• Schema Gap Handling: Identifies and handles parameters that are missing from the Terraform provider schema.
• Modular Terraform Architecture: Structures Terraform modules with a clear directory structure.
• CDK TypeScript and CDK for Terraform Layout: Specifies the layout and file requirements for the CDK implementations.

Quick Start

To generate compliant IaC templates, first map the controls to parameters using the 04-map sub-skill, then validate them using the 03-validate sub-skill. Use the generate-iac skill to generate the IaC templates and follow the instructions provided in the SKILL.md file for deployment.
