What it does

Covers both SDKv2 and Plugin Framework patterns for resource implementation, including schema design, plan modifiers, and validators
Provides complete CRUD operation examples (Create, Read, Update, Delete) with error handling, state management, and resource not-found patterns
Includes acceptance testing patterns: basic tests, disappears tests, helper functions, and test execution comman

How to use provider-resources on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

›Cursor installed and configured on your machine
›Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with node --version
›Active project directory where you want to add provider-resources

Run the install command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/hashicorp/agent-skills --skill provider-resources

Fetches provider-resources from hashicorp/agent-skills and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?

│

│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ────────────────

│ · Cline · Codex · Goose · Windsurf

│ ●Cursor(selected)

│ · Cursor · Aider · Continue

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/provider-resources

Restart Cursor to activate provider-resources. Access via /provider-resources in your agent's command palette.

⚠

Security Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Use Cases

User Story & Requirements Generation

Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs

Example

Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios

✓

Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage

Competitive Analysis

Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps

Example

Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities

✓

Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days

Roadmap Prioritization

Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs

Example

Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

Overview

This guide covers developing Terraform Provider resources and data sources using the Terraform Plugin Framework. Resources represent infrastructure objects that Terraform manages through Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations.

File Structure

Resources follow the standard service package structure:

internal/service/<service>/ ├── <resource_name>.go # Resource implementation ├── <resource_name>_test.go # Acceptance tests ├── <resource_name>_data_source.go # Data source (if applicable) ├── find.go # Finder functions ├── exports_test.go # Test exports └── service_package_gen.go # Auto-generated registration

Documentation structure:

website/docs/r/ └── <service>_<resource_name>.html.markdown # Resource documentation website/docs/d/ └── <service>_<resource_name>.html.markdown # Data source documentation

Resource Structure

SDKv2 Resource Pattern

func ResourceExample() *schema.Resource { return &schema.Resource{ CreateWithoutTimeout: resourceExampleCreate, ReadWithoutTimeout: resourceExampleRead, UpdateWithoutTimeout: resourceExampleUpdate, DeleteWithoutTimeout: resourceExampleDelete, Importer: &schema.ResourceImporter{ StateContext: schema.ImportStatePassthroughContext, }, Schema: map[string]*schema.Schema{ "name": { Type: schema.TypeString, Required: true, ForceNew: true, ValidateFunc: validation.StringLenBetween(1, 255), }, "arn": { Type: schema.TypeString, Computed: true, }, "tags": tftags.TagsSchema(), "tags_all": tftags.TagsSchemaComputed(), }, CustomizeDiff: verify.SetTagsDiff, } }

Plugin Framework Resource Pattern

type resourceExample struct { framework.ResourceWithConfigure } func (r *resourceExample) Metadata(_ context.Context, req resource.MetadataRequest, resp *resource.MetadataResponse) { resp.TypeName = req.ProviderTypeName + "_example" } func (r *resourceExample) Schema(ctx context.Context, req resource.SchemaRequest, resp *resource.SchemaResponse) { resp.Schema = schema.Schema{ Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{ "id": framework.IDAttribute(), "name": schema.StringAttribute{ Required: true, PlanModifiers: []planmodifier.String{ stringplanmodifier.RequiresReplace(), }, Validators: []validator.String{ stringvalidator.LengthBetween(1, 255), }, }, "arn": schema.StringAttribute{ Computed: true, PlanModifiers: []planmodifier.String{ stringplanmodifier.UseStateForUnknown(), }, }, }, } }

CRUD Operations

Create Operation

func (r *resourceExample) Create(ctx context.Context, req resource.CreateRequest, resp *resource.CreateResponse) { var data resourceExampleModel resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.Plan.Get(ctx, &data)...) if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() { return } conn := r.Meta().ExampleClient(ctx) input := &example.CreateExampleInput{ Name: data.Name.ValueStringPointer(), } output, err := conn.CreateExample(ctx, input) if err != nil { resp.Diagnostics.AddError( "Error creating Example", fmt.Sprintf("Could not create example %s: %s", data.Name.ValueString(), err), ) return } data.ID = types.StringPointerValue(output.Id) data.ARN = types.StringPointerValue(output.Arn) resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &data)...) }

Read Operation

func (r *resourceExample) Read(ctx context.Context, req resource.ReadRequest, resp *resource.ReadResponse) { var data resourceExampleModel resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &data)...) if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() { return } conn := r.Meta().ExampleClient(ctx) output, err := findExampleByID(ctx, conn, data.ID.ValueString()) if tfresource.NotFound(err) { resp.Diagnostics.AddWarning
