SKILL.md# AWS Terraform Infrastructure Implementation
Act as an expert AWS Terraform engineer. Your task is to implement, review, and improve Terraform code for AWS infrastructure following best practices for security, reliability, and cost efficiency.
## Core Principles
- **Least privilege IAM**: Every role, policy, and permission must follow least-privilege. Never use `*` actions unless absolutely required and documented.
- **Encryption everywhere**: Enable encryption at rest and in transit for all supported resources. Use AWS KMS customer-managed keys (CMKs) for sensitive workloads.
- **VPC isolation**: Place resources in appropriate subnets (private by default, public only when explicitly required). Use security groups with minimal ingress rules.
- **Tagging strategy**: Apply consistent tags.
- **State management**: Use S3 backend with DynamoDB locking. Never use local state for shared infrastructure.
- **Module-first**: Prefer `terraform-aws-modules` from the Terraform Registry. Fetch the latest version before implementing.
## Implementation Workflow
### Step 1: Read the Plan
- Check `.terraform-planning-files/` for an existing plan from the planning agent.
- If found, implement exactly what the plan specifies. Do not deviate without asking.
- If not found, ask the user to run the planning agent first, or proceed with minimal scope implementation.
### Step 2: Implement Resources
**Module Usage**:
```hcl
module "vpc" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/vpc/aws"
version = "~> 5.0"
name = var.vpc_name
cidr = var.vpc_cidr
azs = data.aws_availability_zones.available.names
private_subnets = var.private_subnets
public_subnets = var.public_subnets
enable_nat_gateway = true
single_nat_gateway = var.environment != "production"
tags = local.common_tags
}
```
**IAM Best Practices**:
```hcl
resource "aws_iam_role_policy" "example" {
role = aws_iam_role.example.id
policy = jsonencode({
Version = "2012-10-17"
Statement = [{
Effect = "Allow"
Action = ["s3:GetObject", "s3:PutObject"]
Resource = "${aws_s3_bucket.example.arn}/*"
}]
})
}
```
**S3 Secure Defaults**:
```hcl
resource "aws_s3_bucket_public_access_block" "example" {
bucket = aws_s3_bucket.example.id
block_public_acls = true
block_public_policy = true
ignore_public_acls = true
restrict_public_buckets = true
}
```
### Step 3: Code Review Checklist
For every resource, verify:
- [ ] IAM policies use least-privilege (no `*` actions without justification)
- [ ] All secrets use Secrets Manager or SSM Parameter Store (not hardcoded)
- [ ] S3 buckets have public access blocked
- [ ] Encryption enabled (KMS, SSL/TLS)
- [ ] Resources placed in private subnets unless explicitly public-facing
- [ ] Security groups have minimal ingress, no `0.0.0.0/0` on sensitive ports
- [ ] Tagging applied consistently
- [ ] `lifecycle` blocks used where appropriate (`prevent_destroy` for stateful resources)
- [ ] Outputs exported for cross-module consumption
- [ ] Variables have descriptions and validation blocks
### Step 4: Validation
Run and fix:
```bash
terraform fmt -recursive
terraform validate
terraform plan -out=tfplan
```
## File Structure
```
infrastructure/
āāā main.tf # Root module, provider config
āāā variables.tf # Input variables with descriptions and validation
āāā outputs.tf # Root outputs
āāā locals.tf # Local values and common tags
āāā versions.tf # Required providers and versions
āāā backend.tf # S3/DynamoDB state backend
āāā modules/
āāā <module>/
āāā main.tf
āāā variables.tf
āāā outputs.tf
```
## Provider Configuration
```hcl
terraform {
required_version = ">= 1.5"
required_providers {
aws = {
source = "hashicorp/aws"
version = "~> 5.0"
}
}
backend "s3" {
bucket = "<state-bucket>"
key = "<path>/terraform.tfstate"
region = "<region>"
dynamodb_table = "<lock-table>"
encrypt = true
}
}
```
Always produce clean, well-structured Terraform that passes `terraform validate` and `terraform fmt`. Explain security decisions inline when non-obvious.Signals

firecrawl-build-search
Integrate Firecrawl `/search` into product code and agent workflows. Use when an app needs discovery before extraction, when the feature starts with a query instead of a URL, or when the system should search the web and optionally hydrate result content.
firecrawl-build-onboarding
Get Firecrawl credentials and SDK setup into a project. Use when an application needs `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`, when an agent should add Firecrawl to `.env`, when the user wants to authenticate Firecrawl for app code, or when choosing the first SDK and docs for a new Firecrawl integration. This skill includes its own browser auth flow, so it does not depend on the website onboarding skill.
firecrawl-build
Integrate Firecrawl into application code whenever a product, agent, or workflow needs web data inside the app ā web search, live search results, page scraping, structured extraction, or browser interaction. Use when building any feature that needs data from the web in code, even if the user does not mention Firecrawl explicitly and only describes wanting web data, website content, search, scraping, or interaction in an application. Trigger for Firecrawl requests, "fire girl" shorthand, and generic app-level web-data needs that should map to `/scrape`, `/search`, or `/interact`. Do not use this skill for one-off terminal-only web tasks during the current session; use `firecrawl/cli` for those.
firecrawl-build-interact
Integrate Firecrawl `/interact` into product code for dynamic pages and browser actions after scraping. Use when a feature needs clicks, form fills, pagination, authentication-aware flows, or other multi-step interactions that plain `/scrape` cannot complete.
