Terraform

This gives Claude the core Terraform workflow patterns you actually need: remote state management with locking, environment separation, safe plan/apply cycles in CI, and guardrails like prevent_destroy for production resources. It covers the essentials across three reference docs on state, modules, and CI workflows. The quick start is literally init/plan/apply, which is right, but the real value is in the safety checklist and patterns for drift control and reviewable changes. If you're setting up IaC pipelines or need to standardize how your team provisions cloud resources without shooting yourself in the foot, this covers the mechanical stuff well. Token budget is reasonable at 8k for the full context.
