Terraform Generator

Generates production-ready Terraform HCL with built-in validation and security scanning. The workflow is strict: it requires consulting best practice references, looking up docs for custom providers, generating configs with proper file organization (main.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf, versions.tf), then automatically running terraform-validator and forcing you to fix issues before proceeding. Includes smart defaults like data sources for AMIs instead of hardcoded IDs, lifecycle rules on critical resources, and proper variable validation blocks. The checklist approach prevents the common problem of generating syntactically correct but operationally broken infrastructure code. Worth using if you want scaffolding that actually passes validation on the first terraform plan.
