SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams safely inspect Terraform state, detect drift, and perform controlled state manipulations to keep infrastructure in sync with configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inspect state: list resources, view details, and identify orphaned or untagged resources.
  • Drift detection: compare state with deployed infrastructure and highlight differences, with actionable remediation steps.
  • State manipulation & auditing: move or remove resources, import existing ones, and generate structured state analysis reports for audits and governance.
  • Use Case: In a multi-environment setup, teams can regularly audit terraform.tfstate and resolve drift before applying changes.

Quick Start

Provide your terraform state file to the tool and run the skill to generate drift reports and remediation steps.
