IAC Scan is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/iac-scan/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when reviewing an IaC PR, gating `terraform apply` / `tofu apply`, auditing existing state for drift, or building a compliance report for cloud configuration.
The IAC Scan Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
