Provider Ephemeral Resources
by hashicorpf706481af9b8MPL-2.0890 starsListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026Repository updated 3 days ago
Implement Terraform provider ephemeral resources with the Plugin Framework: the Open/Renew/Close lifecycle, ephemeral schema design, registration via EphemeralResources, renewal for expiring credentials, and how ephemeral values flow into write-only attributes and provider configuration. Use when adding an ephemeral resource, exposing secrets/tokens/certificates that must never persist in state or plan, deciding between an ephemeral resource and a data source, or wiring short-lived credentials from one provider into another.
Add to a SourceWeft workspace
- Open the skill in your dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable it for the chats that should use it.
This skill is instructions only: it ships no scripts to execute.
Add to SourceWeftYou will be asked to sign in first, then taken straight to this skill.
Ask your agent to install it
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent that can run commands — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this skill's install guide, shows you its source, license and scripts, and installs it with the SourceWeft CLI once you agree.
Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-hashicorp-agent-skills-provider-ephemeral-resources/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.Install it yourself from a terminal
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.
npx @sourceweft/cli skills install gh-hashicorp-agent-skills-provider-ephemeral-resourcesAdd --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).
Upstream installer — not verified by SourceWeft
The open-source skills installer fetches the same pinned commit, but does not check the files against the hashes SourceWeft recorded.

Provider Resources
hashicorp
Implement Terraform Provider resources and data sources using the Plugin Framework: CRUD operations, schema design, plan modifiers and validators, not-found handling, waiters for eventually consistent APIs, import support, resource design principles, and required acceptance test coverage. Use when adding or changing a resource or data source, deciding whether an API concept should be a resource, wiring a resource to the provider's configured client, handling drift or resource-not-found, or reviewing a resource implementation before submission.
