What problem does it solve?

Terraform provider developers must run imperative operations at specific lifecycle events. This Skill shows how to implement Terraform Provider Actions using the Plugin Framework to execute before/after create, update, and destroy hooks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Imperative lifecycle actions: run code during resource operations to enforce invariants, perform validations, or orchestrate side-effects.
• Service structure and integration: follow standard internal/service packages and register actions with the provider.
• Testing and reliability: guidance on testing action logic, handling timeouts, and error reporting.

Quick Start

Create a new action under the provider's internal/service package, implement the Invoke method and action schema, wire it into the service registry, and run go build and tests.
