Terraform guide

The official CLI from HashiCorp. Infrastructure as code, plans, and provisioning from the terminal. Start with `terraform init` and go from there. Supports structured output — good for scripts and agents.

Open CLI packages the install path, verify step, and safe-start workflow so this tool can move from “interesting CLI” to something you can actually use. It also integrates with skills.sh so each CLI comes with the right companion skills, not just a binary and a docs link.

When to apply

  • infrastructure as code, plans, and provisioning from the terminal.
  • You're on HashiCorp and want the official terminal experience.
  • You need infrastructure as code.
  • You need plans.
  • You need provisioning.
