While working on @compliancetf, I created a Claude skill called terraform-skill (terraform-best-practices + other trusted sources). In 2026, please stop saying "AI hallucinates with #Terraform". Use HashiCorp MCP + this skill so answers are grounded in real docs and battle-tested patterns. Feedback welcome, and shares appreciated. 🚀 github.com/antonbabenko/t…

Our docs now cover 300 AWS controls, including pitfalls, retrofit guidance, level-of-effort estimates, and tool mappings for #Checkov, #Prowler, #Trivy, and more. + new comparison guides: vs scanners, policy engines, Control Tower, and custom wrappers. compliance.tf/docs/controls/…

Terraform AWS modules you can't misconfigure. Drop-in replacements for terraform-aws-modules. Same inputs, same outputs. Encryption, logging, and access controls are enforced by the module, not by a scanner after the fact. 35+ frameworks. Free CIS tier - compliance.tf

Someone at @awscloud really loves WorkSpaces more than UX :) 20 mentions per page 🤯 and WorkSpaces in WorkSpaces on the left is beautiful, too...

@tom_doerr Thank you very much for sharing, Tom! I am long time follower of you :)

@AlexisHiro @biz84 github.com/jarrodwatts/cl… - using this 👌

@biz84 How do you use both ? You're switching between codex and the cli every hours ?

I've been coding with both gpt-5.3 and opus-4.6 recently. When I ask questions, I get the impression that gpt-5.3 digs deeper and often finds extra insights/edge cases, while opus does not. Do you have a similar experience with this?

My favorite combination of this week is agent team of experts + optimism of Opus + criticism by Codex = a decent debate. If I use just one model the solution is often one-sided! The speed of 5.3 Codex is not an issue anymore (high effort). 🔥👌

Been building compliance.tf docs and coverage: almost 300 AWS controls + most terraform-aws-modules supported. The same policies can target terraform-aws-modules, plain Terraform resources, and (paid) bring-your-own modules (when the code is unknown). Launch offer $100/year ends March 1, 2026. Docs: docs.compliance.tf/controls/aws/

I haven't regenerated anything yet. There is "tests" dir + a section describing how to do testing of the proposed changes (from human or AI) in #testing-your-changes" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/antonbabenko/t… I used this testing flow when developing this skill, and it helped me stay concise to the point. In the future, I'd like to ask Claude to "check CHANGELOG files for Terraform/Opentofu and interview me about non-obvious subjects to identify what should be added/updated".

@antonbabenko @compliancetf Grounding LLM outputs in versioned docs is the only way to stop hallucinations for IaC. The problem is keeping the skill synced with upstream HashiCorp releases. Are you regenerating the skill on every Terraform version bump or caching it?

78 flights in 2025 (+1 more flight than in 2024)... I spoke at 13 #AWS Community Days, as well as a dozen more meetups and other conferences. Now I have enough information to sit down quietly at one or two places, go to the gym, and work on Compliance.tf for a few months. As of now, I have NO EVENT confirmed for 2026. Thank you to everyone who supported me during this year - from start to finish - from the USA to Hong Kong! My previous flights: my.flightradar24.com/antonbabenko/2…

Monday, 1st of December, at 5:30 PM, I will present at the Open Source Learning Corner located in the Developer Community Pavilion, in the Venetian Expo Hall. Come by for a chat about Compliance-as-Code and to see a demo of Compliance.tf #AWSreinvent #ComplianceAsCode #AWS #terraform
