Terraform K8s
Author and operate infrastructure-as-code with Terraform/OpenTofu and Kubernetes manifests — declarative provisioning, state management, modules, plan/apply discipline, and the K8s object model (Deployment/Service/Ingress, probes, requests/limits, HPA, ConfigMap/Secret, RBAC). Use when writing a Terraform module, structuring remote state and workspaces, debugging drift or a destructive plan, writing or reviewing K8s YAML/Helm/Kustomize, sizing requests/limits, or wiring probes. Boundary vs deployment-cicd — deployment-cicd owns the release process (CI pipeline, build/test stages, blue-green/canary/rolling rollout, version tagging, rollback playbook); this skill owns the substrate those releases deploy onto — declarative provisioning of cloud resources and the Kubernetes object definitions themselves. The pipeline runs apply; this skill is what those files contain. Defers image-build craft to docker and host-level tuning to linux-sysadmin.

From the source SKILL.md
A practical guide to provisioning cloud infrastructure with Terraform/OpenTofu and defining workloads as Kubernetes objects, such that the system state lives in version control and a fresh environment is one apply away. Stack-agnostic across cloud providers; recipes target AWS/GCP/Azure providers and vanilla K8s + Helm/Kustomize.
What this skill does
Terraform K8s is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the devops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/terraform-k8s/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when writing a Terraform module, structuring remote state and workspaces, debugging drift or a destructive plan, writing or reviewing K8s YAML/Helm/Kustomize, sizing requests/limits, or wiring probes. Boundary vs deployment-cicd — deployment-cicd owns the release process (CI pipeline, build/test stages, blue-green/canary/rolling rollout, version tagging, rollback playbook); this skill owns the substrate those releases deploy onto — declarative provisioning of cloud resources and the Kubernetes object definitions themselves.
Who uses this skill
The Terraform K8s Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 177,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Terraform K8s skill?
Use Terraform K8s when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the devops 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 Terraform K8s" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Terraform K8s 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. Terraform K8s is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category. Learn more at
/learn/what-is-a-claude-skill/.
