Use when adding or changing provider configuration, resources, data sources, ephemeral resources, list resources, functions, actions, or guides; when validating generated docs; and when troubleshooting missing or incorrect Registry documentation. metadata: lifecycle-status: active --- # Terraform Provider Docs ## Follow This Workflow 1. Confirm scope and documentation targets. - Map code changes to the exact doc targets: provider index, resources, data sources, ephemeral resources, list resources, functions, actions, or guides. - Decide whether content should come from schema descriptions, templates, or both. 2. Write schema descriptions first. - Add precise user-facing descriptions to schema fields so generated docs stay aligned with behavior. - Keep wording specific to argument purpose, constraints, defaults, and computed behavior. 3. Add or update template files in `docs/`. - Create only files that map to implemented provider objects. - Use HashiCorp-recommended template paths: - `docs/index.md.tmpl` - `docs/data-sources/<name>.md.tmpl` - `docs/resources/<name>.md.tmpl` - `docs/ephemeral-resources/<name>.md.tmpl` - `docs/list-resources/<name>.md.tmpl` - `docs/functions/<name>.md.tmpl` - `docs/actions/<name>.md.tmpl` (tfplugindocs generates action docs with Terraform v1.14.0+) - `docs/guides/<name>.md.tmpl` - Keep templates focused on overview and examples; rely on generated sections for field-by-field details. - Keep HCL examples in the `examples/` directory — one example per file, pulled into templates with `tffile` — rather than inlined in templates (see Example File Conventions in `references/hashicorp-provider-docs.md`). Examples must not contain `terraform`, `provider`, or `output` blocks. - For action pages, follow the structure in `references/hashicorp-provider-docs.md` (Action Pages section): examples must show both the `action` block and the `action_trigger` lifecycle wiring, and actions get no attribute/output section. 4. Generate documentation with `tfplugindocs`. - Prefer repository defaults when configured: ```bash go generate ./... ``` - Otherwise run the generator directly: ```bash go run github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-docs/cmd/tfplugindocs generate --provider-name <provider_name> ``` - Re-run generation after every schema or template edit. 5. Validate the generated markdown. - Verify files in `docs/` match the current provider implementation. - Verify examples are valid HCL and reflect current argument/attribute names. - Verify required/optional/computed semantics in docs match schema behavior. 6. Apply Registry publication rules before release. - Use semantic version tags prefixed with `v` (for example `v1.2.3`). - Create release tags from the default branch. - Keep `terraform-registry-manifest.json` in the repository root. - Expect docs to be versioned in Registry and switchable with the version selector. 7. Preview or troubleshoot publication when needed. - Use the HashiCorp preview process to inspect rendered docs before release when accuracy risk is high. - If docs are missing in Registry, check tag format, tag source branch, manifest file presence, and provider publication status. ## Enforce Quality Bar - Keep documentation behaviorally accurate; never describe unsupported arguments or attributes. - Keep examples minimal, realistic, and runnable. - Keep terminology and naming consistent across provider, resources, and data sources. - Avoid duplicating generated argument/attribute blocks in manual templates. - Keep doc changes tied to the same PR as schema/API changes whenever possible. ## Load References On Demand - Read `references/hashicorp-provider-docs.md` for source-backed rules and official links. - Load only the sections needed for the current change to keep context lean.

Codex install prompt
Install the "provider-docs" agent skill from https://github.com/hashicorp/agent-skills/tree/main/plugins/terraform/skills/provider-docs. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Create, update, and review Terraform provider documentation for Terraform Registry using HashiCorp-recommended patterns, tfplugindocs templates, and schema descriptions. Use when adding or changing provider configuration, resources, data sources, ephemeral resources, list resources, functions, actions, or guides; when validating generated docs; and when troubleshooting missing or incorrect Registry documentation. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"hashicorp-provider-docs","task":"Install provider-docs","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes.
