IAC Plan
Preview an Infrastructure-as-Code change WITHOUT applying it. Runs `bin/iac-plan.sh`, which detects the repo's IaC tool (terraform, opentofu, aws-cdk, pulumi, helm, kubernetes, kustomize, ansible), shells out to the user's already-authenticated CLI, and renders a normalized add/change/destroy summary. READ-ONLY — it never mutates infrastructure. TRIGGER when the user says "terraform plan", "preview my infra change", "what will this deploy", "cdk diff", "pulumi preview", "show me the terraform diff", "dry-run the infra change", "what would terraform/tofu/cdk/pulumi do", "plan the infrastructure", "kubectl diff", "helm diff", "what does this deploy change", "/nyann:plan". DISAMBIGUATION — fire ONLY for IaC plan intent on a detected infra repo. Do NOT trigger on the bare word "plan": this is NOT project planning, NOT sprint/roadmap planning, NOT `sc:*` task planning, NOT Claude's ExitPlanMode / "make a plan" for code work. "plan a feature", "plan my week", "let's plan the refactor" → ignore. Require an infra signal (a tool name like terraform/tofu/cdk/pulumi/helm/kubectl, OR the word "infra"/"infrastructure"/"deploy", OR a detected `iac.tool` in the stack descriptor). With no infra signal, do NOT trigger. To apply the change after previewing, that's `/nyann:apply` (the iac-apply skill) — iac-plan never applies.

From the source SKILL.md
Wraps bin/iac-plan.sh. It detects the repo's iac.tool, dispatches to the per-tool adapter (bin/iac-plan/<tool>.sh), captures whatever machine-readable plan the tool offers, and emits a normalized IacPlan JSON on stdout (schema: schemas/iac-plan.schema.json). This skill is READ-ONLY: it previews, it never applies. To apply, hand off to /nyann:apply.
What this skill does

When should I use the IAC Plan skill?
Use IAC Plan when your Claude Code task falls under the Product category — specifically in the prd spec area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use IAC Plan" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/product/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the IAC Plan skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. IAC Plan is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Product category. Learn more at
