If no path is provided, analyzes the current directory or prompts for selection.

What This Skill Does

1. •Reads all Terraform files in the blueprint directory
2. •Extracts resources from resource blocks
3. •Identifies data sources from data blocks
4. •Parses variables from variables.tf
5. •Collects outputs from outputs.tf
6. •Checks provider requirements from versions.tf

Output Generated

Prerequisites Checklist

• • Aviatrix Control Plane v8.1+ accessible (Controller and CoPilot)
• • AWS CLI configured with appropriate permissions
• • Terraform v1.5+ installed
• • Sufficient EIP quota (X required)

Required IAM Permissions

Lists the AWS/Azure/GCP permissions needed based on resources created.

Estimated Costs

Provides hourly and monthly cost estimates for the resources.

Instructions for Claude

When this skill is invoked:

1. •Read all .tf files in the specified blueprint directory
2. •Parse each file to extract:
   • •resource blocks → Resources Created
   • •data blocks → Data sources (may indicate prerequisites)
   • •variable blocks → Variables Reference
   • •output blocks → Output Reference
   • •terraform.required_providers → Provider versions
3. •For each resource, determine:
   • •Cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, Aviatrix)
   • •Approximate cost (use known pricing or estimate)
   • •Required permissions
4. •Generate a comprehensive markdown report
5. •Optionally update the blueprint's README.md with the generated content
