Frequently asked questions about provider-docs

What does the provider-docs skill do?

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, or guides; when validating generated docs; and when troubleshooting missing or incorrect Registry documentation. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the provider-docs skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install hashicorp-provider-docs` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/hashicorp-provider-docs/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does provider-docs work with?

provider-docs runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the provider-docs skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use provider-docs after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/hashicorp-provider-docs` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the provider-docs skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
