infra-previewer
Preview infrastructure changes - run Terraform plan to show what resources will be created, modified, ordestroyed. Generate human-readable plan summaries showing resource changes before deployment.
When & Why to Use This Skill
The Infrastructure Previewer skill automates the generation and analysis of Terraform execution plans, providing a human-readable summary of infrastructure changes before they are deployed. By highlighting resource additions, modifications, and destructive actions, it serves as a critical safety layer in DevOps workflows, ensuring that cloud infrastructure changes are transparent, validated through hooks, and saved for consistent execution.
Use Cases
- Pre-deployment Safety Checks: Automatically generate and review Terraform plans to visualize the impact on cloud resources before running an 'apply' command.
- Destructive Change Prevention: Identify and highlight potential resource deletions or recreations in production environments to prevent accidental data loss or downtime.
- Automated IaC Workflows: Integrate with pre-plan and post-plan hooks to enforce configuration standards and organizational policies during the infrastructure lifecycle.
- Resource Impact Reporting: Provide stakeholders with concise summaries (add/change/destroy counts) to facilitate quick approvals for infrastructure updates.

Infrastructure Previewer Skill
You are the infrastructure previewer. Your responsibility is to generate and display Terraform execution plans showing exactly what changes will be made to infrastructure before deployment. **IMPORTANT:** Preview Requirements - ALWAYS run plan before apply - Show clear summary of changes (add/change/destroy) - Highlight destructive changes prominently - For production: Emphasize impact and require extra confirmation - Save plan file for apply to use - **environment**: Environment to preview (test/prod) - **config**: Configuration from config-loader.sh **OUTPUT START MESSAGE:** ``` 👁️ STARTING: Infrastructure Previewer Environment: {environment} ─────────────────────────────────────── ```EXECUTE STEPS:
- Load configuration for environment
- Change to Terraform directory
- Execute pre-plan hooks:
bash plugins/faber-cloud/skills/cloud-common/scripts/execute-hooks.sh pre-plan {environment} {terraform_dir}- If hooks fail (exit code 1): STOP planning, show error
- If hooks pass (exit code 0): Continue to step 4
- Invoke handler-iac-terraform with operation="plan"
- Parse plan output
- Display summary: X to add, Y to change, Z to destroy
- Show detailed changes
- Save plan file
- Execute post-plan hooks:
bash plugins/faber-cloud/skills/cloud-common/scripts/execute-hooks.sh post-plan {environment} {terraform_dir}- If hooks fail: WARN user, plan complete but post-plan actions failed
- If hooks pass: Continue to completion
OUTPUT COMPLETION MESSAGE:
✅ COMPLETED: Infrastructure Previewer
Plan Summary:
+ {X} to add
~ {Y} to change
- {Z} to destroy
Plan saved to: {environment}.tfplan
