Recent Updates
This repository now organizes its 20 Skills under two product plugin roots:
plugins/terraform/skills/ and plugins/packer/skills/.
Migration from Legacy Plugin IDs and Paths
The product plugin bundles replace these legacy plugin IDs:
terraform-code-generation, terraform-module-generation,
terraform-provider-development, terraform-policy-code, packer-builders,
and packer-hcp.
Replace any legacy plugin installation with terraform@hashicorp or
packer@hashicorp. Replace individual paths under terraform/<category>/skills
or packer/<category>/skills with
plugins/<product>/skills/<skill-name>.
Install an Individual Skill
Install Agent Skills in GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Opencode, Cursor, IBM Bob, and more.
List the repository’s Skills:
npx skills add hashicorp/agent-skillsInstall one Skill from its path:
npx skills add hashicorp/agent-skills/plugins/terraform/skills/terraform-style-guide
npx skills add hashicorp/agent-skills/plugins/packer/skills/aws-ami-builderEvery supported path appears in SKILLS.md (opens in a new tab).
Install a Product Plugin Bundle
Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add hashicorp/agent-skills
claude plugin install terraform@hashicorp
claude plugin install packer@hashicorpCodex
Add this repository’s .agents/plugins/marketplace.json as a repository
marketplace, then install the terraform or packer plugin in Codex. Both
marketplaces expose the same product bundles and Skill directories.

How this issue was made- Source
- github.com/hashicorp/agent-skills, branch
main, last pushed 21 September 2026. - Licence
- MPL-2.0 — the text of every skill is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.
- Discovery
- 20 skills found by walking the repository tree for
SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. 2 distinct layouts observed:plugins/packer/skills/*/SKILL.md,plugins/terraform/skills/*/SKILL.md. - Issue colours
- Resolved from the awesome-design-md registry — hue 304°, chroma 0.190. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.
- Typefaces
- Display: hashicorpSans is not a face we ship; the reader's own choice is used.
- Body: hashicorpSans is not a face we ship; the reader's own choice is used.
- Heading repairs
- 1 repair applied to the front matter so the document has one
h1and no skipped levels:- Shifted “11 headings” from h1 to h2 so the skill title is the only h1.
- Spec compliance
- Every skill satisfies the Agent Skills specification’s frontmatter rules.
- Images
- Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.
- Marketplace
- A plugin manifest is published at
.claude-plugin/marketplace.jsonby HashiCorp, declaring 2 plugins. It is read for editorial metadata only — never as the skill index, which is always the repository tree. - Signal
- Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.
- Agent surfaces
- The whole issue is available as one markdown document at
/hashicorp/agent-skills.md, and each skill at its own.mdURL. - Publication
- Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
