Provider Configuration

provider-configuration

Implement Terraform provider configuration and authentication with the Plugin Framework: provider schema for credentials (Optional + Sensitive attributes), environment variable fallbacks, credential provider chains (static config, then environment variables, shared credentials file, and platform identity), unknown-value guards in Configure(), secret redaction, configure-time credential validation, and diagnostics that name every source tried. Use when implementing or reviewing a provider's Configure method or provider schema, adding authentication options (API keys, tokens, profiles, credentials files, assume-role), deciding how a provider should resolve credentials, debugging "no valid credential sources" or missing-credentials errors, or unit testing credential resolution.

Install

Run this in your project folder. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and dozens of other agents.

$ npx skills add hashicorp/agent-skills --skill provider-configuration

Needs Node.js. Add -g to install for every project, or -a claude-code to skip the agent picker.

How to use Provider Configuration

Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /provider-configuration.

It contains no scripts, only instructions and reference files, so it can't run code on its own.
