vegastack — @vegastack/cli
A deterministic, offline knowledge harness for coding agents. One npm install gives Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini local, citable competence over 31 Terraform providers — without web search, MCPs, or model-knowledge gaps.
npm i -g @vegastack/cli # ~5 MB CLI + ~12 MB compressed bundle (97 MB on disk after extract)
vegastack doctor # verify environment
vegastack skills install --agent all # register skills with all installed agents
What's inside
- 31 Terraform providers' upstream docs mirrored daily from their GitHub repos —
aws, azure, gcp, cloudflare, kubernetes, helm, vault, digitalocean, github, gitlab, vercel, netlify, datadog, grafana, splunk, pagerduty, okta, auth0, crowdstrike, 1password, mongodb-atlas, snowflake, redis-cloud, clickhouse, pinecone, ansible, random, tls, time, local, external.
- Per-provider
MANIFEST.json — resource schemas, argument lists, enum values, import syntax, deprecation flags, HCL reference graph, recommended companions.
vegastack tf <query> — a deterministic discovery CLI. Returns one JSON envelope with files[], knowledge[] (curated recent-change facts), recipes[] (multi-provider scaffolds), concept_aliases_used[] (natural-language → resource mapping). Top-K results arrive with full schemas inline.- Spec-compliant skill for the Anthropic Agent Skills Standard, packaged as a Claude Code plugin and installable into Codex (
.agents/skills/), Cursor (.cursor/rules/), and Gemini (gemini-extension.json).
How this differs from hashicorp/agent-skills
HashiCorp shipped a competing agent-skills bundle in February 2026. They're complementary, not competitive:
| Aspect | hashicorp/agent-skills | @vegastack/cli |
|---|
| Audience | Provider authors | Provider consumers (devops/SRE/platform/sec engineers) |
| What it ships | "How to write a Terraform provider", "Run acceptance tests", azure-verified-modules patterns | Per-resource manifest, import-id syntax, deprecation flags, recipes, knowledge cards for 31 providers |
| Installs to | Claude Code skills | Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Gemini / Continue / Aider via npm |
| License | MPL-2.0 | MIT |
Both can be installed side-by-side. Use hashicorp/agent-skills when authoring or testing your own provider; use @vegastack/cli when writing or modifying Terraform configurations that consume providers.
Install
v0.1 status: internal-only release via GitHub Packages. The public-npm + skill-registry install paths below are reserved for the v1.0 public ship; they will not resolve a package today. Use the "Install (internal — GitHub Packages)" section first.
Install (internal — GitHub Packages)
@vegastack/cli is published to GitHub Packages under the VegaStack org. Three steps:
1. Create a GitHub PAT with read:packages scope
Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta → Generate new token → resource access: VegaStack org → permissions: Packages → Read-only. Save the token (ghp_...).
2. Authenticate npm to the GitHub Packages registry
Add to ~/.npmrc (create if missing):
@vegastack:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=ghp_YOUR_PAT_HERE
3. Install the CLI
# Global (recommended for CLI tools):
npm i -g @vegastack/cli
# Or local to a project:
npm i @vegastack/cli
