# OpenCLI Agent Pack: Terraform

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `terraform`.

## What this CLI is for
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.

Best for: infrastructure as code, plans, and provisioning from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Great for agents (75/100)
- Structured output is available for parsing.
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Works well in CI or repeatable automation.

## Install
```sh
brew tap hashicorp/tap && brew install hashicorp/tap/terraform
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
terraform version
```
Expected signal: Responds and is ready to inspect or plan.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
terraform version
```

```sh
terraform init && terraform plan
```

```sh
terraform init
```

```sh
terraform plan
```

```sh
terraform apply
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Network access is required; avoid leaking secrets in logs.
- Require confirmation before apply, delete, deploy, transfer, merge, or write actions.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use Terraform (`terraform`) for infrastructure as code, plans, and provisioning from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
