new-terraform-provider

To scaffold a new Terraform provider, this Skill initializes a Go module, fetches the terraform-plugin-framework dependency, and generates a runnable main.go with a basic provider skeleton ready for customization.

The Terraform Plugin Framework is used for provider development to define resources and data sources in Go. This Skill bootstraps a workspace that imports the framework, enabling you to build custom providers for Terraform.

Yes, a Go toolchain is required to create a custom Terraform provider. This Skill uses the Go toolchain to initialize a module named terraform-provider-<provider-name> and set up the project structure for the provider skeleton.

Yes, you can bootstrap a Terraform provider workspace for internal tooling prototypes. This Skill creates a ready-to-edit foundation with buildable Go code, allowing teams to rapidly prototype providers for internal use.

The best way to start developing a Terraform provider with Go is to use a scaffolding tool. This Skill prepares the project structure, initializes the Go module, and writes the starter provider wiring so development can begin immediately.

When setting up a new Terraform provider project, a minimal main.go file with a basic provider skeleton is generated. The Skill also prepares the overall workspace structure required to build the provider using the plugin framework.
