# Terraform Infrastructure Workflow

## Overview

Specialized workflow for infrastructure as code using Terraform including resource provisioning, module creation, state management, and multi-environment deployments.

## When to Use This Workflow

Use this workflow when:
- Provisioning cloud infrastructure

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
