Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads hashicorp/agent-skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.

Maintenance
Implement Terraform provider configuration and authentication with the Plugin Framework: provider schema for credentials (Optional + Sensitive attributes), environment variable fallbacks, credential provider chains (static config, then environment variables, shared credentials file, and platform identity), unknown-value guards in Configure(), secret redaction, configure-time credential validation, and diagnostics that name every source tried. Use when implementing or reviewing a provider's Configure method or provider schema, adding authentication options (API keys, tokens, profiles, credentials files, assume-role), deciding how a provider should resolve credentials, debugging "no valid credential sources" or missing-credentials errors, or unit testing credential resolution.
