UTILITY SKILL — INVOKES: tfpolicy-author | tfpolicy-test

USE FOR:

Writing a new .policy.hcl policy from a description or requirement
Converting a .sentinel policy to Terraform Policy
Writing or debugging a .policytest.hcl test file
Migrating a Sentinel policy library to Terraform Policy

Before giving authoring or testing instructions, check the installed tfpolicy CLI version and tailor guidance accordingly:

If the CLI is 0.1.x, do not require policy { required_providers { ... } }; generate policies compatible with tfpolicy 0.1.x syntax and behavior.
If the CLI is 0.2.0 or newer, include a top-level policy { required_providers { ... } } block when authoring .policy.hcl. It is mandatory for tfpolicy validate; version-range validation is best effort, and wildcard targets such as resource_policy "*" are not schema-validated.
If the CLI version is unknown, ask the user to check it first or provide guidance that clearly distinguishes the 0.1.x and 0.2.0+ paths.

DO NOT USE FOR:

Writing .tftest.hcl files for Terraform modules — use terraform-test
General Terraform HCL authoring — use terraform-style-guide

Routing
