Endigest AI Core Summary
HashiCorp introduces Agent Skills, a repository of AI assistant plugins providing specialized knowledge for Terraform and Packer workflows.
•Agent Skills are portable, reusable instruction packages based on an open standard developed by Anthropic, designed to reduce AI hallucinations by injecting domain-specific context
•Included skills cover Terraform provider development, module refactoring, Terraform Stacks orchestration, style guide enforcement, and Packer image building for AWS/Azure/Windows
•Skills differ from MCP in that MCP is the data pipe/server interface while Agent Skills serve as curated knowledge "textbooks" loaded on demand
•HashiCorp partnered with Tessl to evaluate skills using review evals (structure vs. Anthropic best practices) and task evals (agent performance with/without skill)
•
Installation is done via `npx skills add hashicorp/agent-skills`, Tessl CLI, or `/plugin marketplace add hashicorp/agent-skills` in Claude Code
