Agentic cloud infrastructure builder & manager -- describe your goal, discuss requirements, estimate cost, generate Terraform, deploy, operate and manage in production
What is InsideOut?
InsideOut is a Claude Code plugin that brings agentic cloud infrastructure management directly into your terminal. Describe your goal in plain language, and Riley -- your AI infrastructure advisor -- guides you through requirements, service selection, cost estimation, Terraform generation, deployment, and ongoing production management on AWS or GCP.
No authentication or API keys required. Install the plugin and start building.
What You Can Do
- Describe your goal -- tell Riley what you're building, get expert infrastructure recommendations
- Discuss requirements -- refine architecture, regions, compliance, scaling needs interactively
- Estimate cost -- see real-time monthly cost estimates as components are added
- Generate Terraform -- production-ready, modular code with security best practices
- Deploy -- deploy directly to AWS or GCP from the conversation
- Operate and manage -- inspect deployments, detect drift, monitor logs, roll back changes

Quick Start
On first use, Claude Code will ask to approve the InsideOut MCP tools -- select "Yes, and don't ask again". This is a one-time prompt.
Use the /insideout:start command or just mention infrastructure in your conversation:
You: /insideout:start I need cloud infrastructure for a web app
Riley: "Hi! I'm Riley, your infrastructure advisor. Tell me about the app
you're building -- what does it do, who uses it, and what scale
are you planning for?"
You: "It's an e-commerce platform expecting 50k monthly users on AWS"
Riley: "Great! I'd recommend ECS for your containers, RDS PostgreSQL
for your database, ElastiCache Redis for sessions, and an ALB.
Estimated cost: ~$350/month. Want me to adjust anything?"
You: "Looks good, generate the Terraform"
[Generates production-ready Terraform files]
You: "Deploy it"
[Deploys to AWS, streams logs in real-time]
Workspace-Aware
InsideOut automatically scans your workspace to detect your tech stack, framework, existing infrastructure, and target cloud provider. This gives Riley immediate context about your project so she can tailor recommendations from the start.
