azure-verified-modules — Claude Code skill: AVM Terraform rules

Q: How do I install azure-verified-modules in Claude?

Run `npx skills add hashicorp/agent-skills --skill azure-verified-modules -a claude-code`. The skill lands at `~/.claude/skills/azure-verified-modules/SKILL.md`.

Q: Which provider versions does AVM allow?

`azapi` from 2.0 to 3.0 and `azurerm` from 4.0 to 5.0. Pin them in the `required_providers` block; the skill suggests the `~>` operator for that.

A skill that carries the Azure Verified Modules requirements, so your agent can write and review Terraform modules that pass AVM certification.

What azure-verified-modules does

The skill puts the AVM rulebook in front of the agent and walks a module toward certification. It covers cross-referencing between modules, provider versions, code style, variables, outputs, locals, testing and documentation. Every rule carries a MUST or SHOULD severity plus an ID such as TFFR1 or TFNFR4.

Provider versions are pinned hard: azapi from 2.0 to 3.0, azurerm from 4.0 to 5.0, declared in required_providers. Other modules may only be referenced through the Terraform registry at a fixed version — git references and non-AVM modules are off the table. Small details trip people up too: ignore_changes without double quotes, for_each only over map() or set() with static keys, and no enabled-style variable that switches the whole module.

Use it when you are building or reviewing an Azure module and want the certification to go through without a round of fixes. The rules do not replace the AVM specifications themselves — some details still live in the official docs the skill points to.

What it helps with

bring a Terraform module up to AVM certification requirements
check azapi and azurerm versions in required_providers
spot git references and non-AVM modules in cross-references
order arguments and meta-arguments inside resource blocks
drop enabled-style variables that control the whole module

Example prompts for the agent

check my Terraform module against the AVM requirements
add a required_providers block with azurerm and azapi versions per AVM rules
review the variables and outputs of this module against the AVM checklist
