Available Skills

Full Maintenance ⚡ (Recommended)

@copilot use terraform-ai-skills/config/aws.config and follow terraform-ai-skills/prompts/4-full-maintenance.prompt

Discovery → Provider upgrades → Workflow fixes → Validation → Releases
Time: 45–180 min

Provider Upgrade 🔄

@copilot use terraform-ai-skills/config/aws.config and follow terraform-ai-skills/prompts/1-provider-upgrade.prompt

Updates provider constraints, Terraform versions, examples, runs validation.
Time: 10–90 min

Workflow Standardization 🔧

@copilot use terraform-ai-skills/config/gcp.config and follow terraform-ai-skills/prompts/2-workflow-standardization.prompt

Pins GitHub Actions to SHAs, removes deprecated actions.
Time: 15–30 min

Release Creation 🚀

@copilot use terraform-ai-skills/config/azure.config and follow terraform-ai-skills/prompts/3-release-creation.prompt
