Strong skill for infrastructure drift detection with clear trigger phrases, comprehensive prerequisites, and detailed step-by-step instructions covering Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, and ARM templates. The description effectively guides a CLI agent through the drift detection workflow with excellent output examples and error handling. Structure is good with logical sections, though the generic placeholder sections at the end ('Overview', 'Examples') slightly dilute clarity. Novelty is moderate—while drift detection automation is valuable, the core operations (terraform plan, cloudformation detect-drift) are relatively straightforward CLI commands. The skill meaningfully packages domain knowledge and multi-tool orchestration that would require research and multiple attempts for an agent to execute correctly, justifying its existence as a reusable skill.
