Recent Updates

This repository now organizes its 20 Skills under two product plugin roots: plugins/terraform/skills/ and plugins/packer/skills/.

Migration from Legacy Plugin IDs and Paths

The product plugin bundles replace these legacy plugin IDs: terraform-code-generation, terraform-module-generation, terraform-provider-development, terraform-policy-code, packer-builders, and packer-hcp.

Replace any legacy plugin installation with terraform@hashicorp or packer@hashicorp. Replace individual paths under terraform/<category>/skills or packer/<category>/skills with plugins/<product>/skills/<skill-name>.

Install an Individual Skill

Install Agent Skills in GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Opencode, Cursor, IBM Bob, and more.

List the repository's Skills:

npx skills add hashicorp/agent-skills

Install one Skill from its path:

npx skills add hashicorp/agent-skills/plugins/terraform/skills/terraform-style-guide
npx skills add hashicorp/agent-skills/plugins/packer/skills/aws-ami-builder

Every supported path appears in SKILLS.md.

Install a Product Plugin Bundle

Claude Code

claude plugin marketplace add hashicorp/agent-skills
claude plugin install terraform@hashicorp
claude plugin install packer@hashicorp

Codex

Add this repository's .agents/plugins/marketplace.json as a repository marketplace, then install the terraform or packer plugin in Codex. Both marketplaces expose the same product bundles and Skill directories.

Kiro

Each product root has an Agent Plugins plugin.json, so Kiro installs it as a Power. In the Kiro Powers panel, choose Add Custom Power, then Import power from GitHub, and enter the product root URL:

https://github.com/hashicorp/agent-skills/tree/main/plugins/terraform
https://github.com/hashicorp/agent-skills/tree/main/plugins/packer

To install from a local clone, choose Import power from a folder and select plugins/terraform or plugins/packer.
