From the author

Implement Terraform Provider resources and data sources using the Plugin Framework: CRUD operations, schema design, plan modifiers and validators, not-found handling, waiters for eventually consistent APIs, import support, resource design principles, and required acceptance test coverage. Use when adding or changing a resource or data source, deciding whether an API concept should be a resource, wiring a resource to the provider's configured client, handling drift or resource-not-found, or reviewing a resource implementation before submission.

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for developers building Terraform Providers using the HashiCorp Plugin Framework. It covers the end-to-end implementation of resources and data sources, including CRUD operations, schema design, state management, and acceptance testing. The guide emphasizes using the Plugin Framework for all new development, provides patterns for handling eventually consistent APIs through waiters, and outlines best practices for resource design and error handling.

What it does

Defines the structure for implementing CRUD operations in Terraform resources.
Provides patterns for schema design, including plan modifiers and attribute validators.
Details how to implement data sources for read-only infrastructure access.
Outlines strategies for handling eventually consistent APIs using status and wait functions.
Specifies requirements for acceptance test coverage, including basic, disappearance, and import tests.
Offers guidance on resource design principles and file organization for provider projects.

When to use it

When developing new Terraform Provider resources or data sources.
When migrating or updating existing provider resource implementations.
When determining if an API concept should be modeled as a resource or data source.
When implementing logic to handle API drift, resource-not-found scenarios, or asynchronous API operations.

Advantages

Promotes consistent resource implementation patterns across provider codebases.
Provides clear guidance on using the modern Plugin Framework over legacy SDKs.
Includes standardized approaches for handling common provider challenges like eventual consistency.
Ensures adherence to established resource design principles for better maintainability.

Usage examples

“How do I implement a Create operation for a new Terraform resource?”: The guide provides a code template demonstrating how to retrieve plan data, call the API client, handle errors, and set the resource state.
“What is the best way to handle an eventually consistent API in a resource?”: The guide explains how to use retry.StateChangeConf to poll for resource readiness, providing examples for status and wait functions.
“How should I structure my acceptance tests for a new resource?”: The guide outlines the required test cases, including basic creation, import verification, and out-of-band deletion handling.

Terraform Provider Resources Implementation Guide

Overview

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

Use the Plugin Framework for all net-new resources and data sources. Plugin SDKv2 is for maintaining resources that already exist on it; do not write new code against it. A provider can serve both during migration by muxing (terraform-plugin-mux), so adopting the Framework never requires a big-bang rewrite. To tell which mode an existing provider is in, check go.mod: terraform-plugin-mux present means it serves both SDKv2 and Framework code; only terraform-plugin-sdk/v2 means SDKv2-only; only terraform-plugin-framework means Framework-only. Be cautious about migrating existing SDKv2 resources: the Framework distinguishes null from zero values, so naive migrations change behavior for existing users (use the provider-framework-migration skill, if available).

File Structure

Most providers keep every resource in a single package:

internal/provider/
├── provider.go                  # Provider schema + Configure
├── widget_resource.go           # Resource implementation
├── widget_resource_test.go      # Acceptance tests
├── widget_data_source.go        # Data source (if applicable)
└── widget_data_source_test.go

Large multi-service providers (e.g. terraform-provider-aws) split into internal/service/<service>/ packages instead, with an idiomatic file taxonomy worth adopting once a package grows: consts.go, find.go (finders), status.go (status functions), wait.go (waiters), sweep.go (test sweepers), exports_test.go.

Documentation lives in docs/ and is generated with tfplugindocs:

docs/
├── resources/<name>.md          # generated; optional <name>.md.tmpl template
└── data-sources/<name>.md

(Hand-written website/docs/r/*.html.markdown trees exist in some older, large providers — follow the target repo's convention when editing one.)

Resource Structure

A Framework resource is a struct holding the API client, with interface assertions making the implemented behaviors explicit:

var (
    _ resource.Resource                = &widgetResource{}
    _ resource.ResourceWithConfigure   = &widgetResource{}
    _ resource.ResourceWithImportState = &widgetResource{}
)

func NewWidgetResource() resource.Resource {
    return &widgetResource{}
}

type widgetResource struct {
    client *examplecloud.Client
}

func (r *widgetResource) Metadata(_ context.Context, req resource.MetadataRequest, resp *resource.MetadataResponse) {
    resp.TypeName = req.ProviderTypeName + "_widget"
}

// Configure receives the client the provider built in its own Configure.
func (r *widgetResource) Configure(_ context.Context, req resource.ConfigureRequest, resp *resource.ConfigureResponse) {
    if req.ProviderData == nil {
        return // provider not yet configured (e.g. validation phase)
    }
    client, ok := req.ProviderData.(*examplecloud.Client)
    if !ok {
        resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
            "Unexpected Resource Configure Type",
            fmt.Sprintf("Expected *examplecloud.Client, got: %T.", req.ProviderData),
        )
        return
    }
    r.client = client
}

func (r *widgetResource) Schema(ctx context.Context, req resource.SchemaRequest, resp *resource.SchemaResponse) {
    resp.Schema = schema.Schema{
        Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{
            "name": schema.StringAttribute{
                Required: true,
                PlanModifiers: []planmodifier.String{
                    stringplanmodifier.RequiresReplace(),
                },
                Validators: []validator.String{
                    stringvalidator.LengthBetween(1, 255),
                },
            },
            "id": schema.StringAttribute{
                Computed: true,
                PlanModifiers: []planmodifier.String{
                    stringplanmodifier.UseStateForUnknown(),
                },
            },
        },
    }
}

How the provider's Configure produces that client — schema, credential resolution, validation — is covered by the provider-configuration skill (if available).

On id: SDKv2 required a magic id attribute; the Framework does not. If the API has its own identifier, expose it under its real meaning and do not add a second, redundant id. Only keep id when it is the API's identifier (as above).

CRUD Operations

Create

func (r *widgetResource) Create(ctx context.Context, req resource.CreateRequest, resp *resource.CreateResponse) {
    var data widgetResourceModel
    resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.Plan.Get(ctx, &data)...)
    if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
        return
    }

    input := &examplecloud.CreateWidgetInput{
        Name: data.Name.ValueStringPointer(),
    }

    output, err := r.client.CreateWidget(ctx, input)
    if err != nil {
        resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
            "Error creating Widget",
            fmt.Sprintf("creating Widget (%s): %s", data.Name.ValueString(), err),
        )
        return
    }

    data.ID = types.StringPointerValue(output.ID)

    // For eventually consistent APIs, wait for the resource to be usable
    // before returning — see references/retries-and-waiters.md.

    resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &data)...)
}

Read

Read must handle out-of-band deletion by removing the resource from state so the next plan recreates it, rather than erroring forever:

func (r *widgetResource) Read(ctx context.Context, req resource.ReadRequest, resp *resource.ReadResponse) {
    var data widgetResourceModel
    resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &data)...)
    if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
        return
    }

    output, err := findWidgetByID(ctx, r.client, data.ID.ValueString())
    if isNotFound(err) {
        tflog.Warn(ctx, "Widget not found, removing from state", map[string]any{"id": data.ID.ValueString()})
        resp.State.RemoveResource(ctx)
        return
    }
    if err != nil {
        resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
            "Error reading Widget",
            fmt.Sprintf("reading Widget (%s): %s", data.ID.ValueString(), err),
        )
        return
    }

    data.Name = types.StringPointerValue(output.Name)

    resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &data)...)
}

Update

Only call the API for attributes that actually changed; compare plan against state:

func (r *widgetResource) Update(ctx context.Context, req resource.UpdateRequest, resp *resource.UpdateResponse) {
    var plan, state widgetResourceModel
    resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.Plan.Get(ctx, &plan)...)
    resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &state)...)
    if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
        return
    }

    if !plan.Description.Equal(state.Description) {
        input := &examplecloud.UpdateWidgetInput{
            ID:          plan.ID.ValueStringPointer(),
            Description: plan.Description.ValueStringPointer(),
        }
        if _, err := r.client.UpdateWidget(ctx, input); err != nil {
            resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
                "Error updating Widget",
                fmt.Sprintf("updating Widget (%s): %s", plan.ID.ValueString(), err),
            )
            return
        }
    }

    resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &plan)...)
}

Delete

Treat "already gone" as success — the desired end state is reached:

func (r *widgetResource) Delete(ctx context.Context, req resource.DeleteRequest, resp *resource.DeleteResponse) {
    var data widgetResourceModel
    resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &data)...)
    if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
        return
    }

    _, err := r.client.DeleteWidget(ctx, &examplecloud.DeleteWidgetInput{
        ID: data.ID.ValueStringPointer(),
    })
    if isNotFound(err) {
        return
    }
    if err != nil {
        resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
            "Error deleting Widget",
            fmt.Sprintf("deleting Widget (%s): %s", data.ID.ValueString(), err),
        )
        return
    }
}

Import

With ResourceWithImportState asserted, passthrough of the identifier is one line:

func (r *widgetResource) ImportState(ctx context.Context, req resource.ImportStateRequest, resp *resource.ImportStateResponse) {
    resource.ImportStatePassthroughID(ctx, path.Root("id"), req, resp)
}

For multi-part identifiers, parse a delimited import ID (commonly comma-separated) and set each attribute explicitly.

Resource Design Principles

Before implementing, check the shape of the thing being modeled (full treatment in references/design-principles.md):

A resource is the smallest useful building block; if the API offers CRUD for it, it likely deserves its own resource.
A resource should talk to one API/service only — cross-service resources break permissions, auditing, and endpoint configuration.
Data sources are read-only and side-effect free. A singular data source errors on zero or multiple matches; a plural data source (plural noun name) returns zero-or-more as a collection and errors on neither.
Attached policies/rules, long-running task invocations, and versioned artifacts usually deserve their own resources rather than attributes on the parent.
Start/stop or enable/disable state belongs as an attribute in the resource, not as a separate resource.

Schema Design

Attribute Types

Terraform Type	Framework Type	Use Case
`string`	`schema.StringAttribute`	Names, identifiers
`number`	`schema.Int64Attribute`, `schema.Float64Attribute`	Counts, sizes
`bool`	`schema.BoolAttribute`	Feature flags
`list`	`schema.ListAttribute`	Ordered collections
`set`	`schema.SetAttribute`	Unordered unique items
`map`	`schema.MapAttribute`	Key-value pairs
`object`	`schema.SingleNestedAttribute`	Complex nested config

Give every attribute a MarkdownDescription — tfplugindocs publishes it, and it is the primary user-facing documentation.

Plan Modifiers

// Force replacement when value changes
stringplanmodifier.RequiresReplace()

// Keep a known value during plan instead of (known after apply)
stringplanmodifier.UseStateForUnknown()

Validators

stringvalidator.LengthBetween(1, 255)
stringvalidator.RegexMatches(regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-z0-9-]+$`), "must be lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens")
stringvalidator.OneOf("small", "medium", "large")
int64validator.Between(1, 100)
listvalidator.SizeAtLeast(1)

Sensitive Attributes

"password": schema.StringAttribute{
    Required:  true,
    Sensitive: true,
},

State Management

Finders

Centralize "get one thing or a typed not-found" in a finder so Read, Delete, waiters, and tests all share identical not-found semantics:

func findWidgetByID(ctx context.Context, client *examplecloud.Client, id string) (*examplecloud.Widget, error) {
    output, err := client.GetWidget(ctx, &examplecloud.GetWidgetInput{ID: &id})
    if err != nil {
        var apiErr *examplecloud.NotFoundError
        if errors.As(err, &apiErr) {
            return nil, &retry.NotFoundError{LastError: err}
        }
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("getting Widget (%s): %w", id, err)
    }
    if output == nil || output.Widget == nil {
        return nil, &retry.NotFoundError{Message: "empty result"}
    }
    return output.Widget, nil
}

func isNotFound(err error) bool {
    var nfe *retry.NotFoundError
    return errors.As(err, &nfe)
}

Waiting for Resource States

Many APIs return from Create/Delete before the resource is usable/gone. Use retry.StateChangeConf (from github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk/v2/helper/retry — usable from Framework providers), with a status function built on the finder and timeouts in named constants:

stateConf := &retry.StateChangeConf{
    Pending: []string{"CREATING", "PENDING"},
    Target:  []string{"ACTIVE"},
    Refresh: statusWidget(ctx, r.client, id), // one poll of the finder: (obj, status, err)
    Timeout: widgetCreatedTimeout,
}
outputRaw, err := stateConf.WaitForStateContext(ctx)

The full status/wait function pairs (create and delete waiters, failure-state handling, post-create not-found retries, eventual-consistency patterns) are in references/retries-and-waiters.md — read it whenever the API is asynchronous or eventually consistent.

Testing

Every resource ships with, at minimum:

_basic — create with minimal config, assert attributes, then an import step (ImportState: true, ImportStateVerify: true)
_disappears — delete the object out-of-band mid-test; the next plan must propose recreation, not error
Per-attribute tests — exercise updates for each non-trivial argument

Naming grammar: tests TestAcc{Resource}_{group?}_{description}, helpers testAccCheck{Resource}Exists / testAccCheck{Resource}Destroy, config functions testAcc{Resource}Config_{description}. Keep configs self-contained, randomize real resource names, and never hardcode environment-specific values (account IDs, zones, versions).

func TestAccWidget_basic(t *testing.T) {
    rName := acctest.RandStringFromCharSet(10, acctest.CharSetAlphaNum)
    resourceName := "examplecloud_widget.test"

    resource.ParallelTest(t, resource.TestCase{
        PreCheck:                 func() { testAccPreCheck(t) },
        ProtoV6ProviderFactories: testAccProtoV6ProviderFactories,
        CheckDestroy:             testAccCheckWidgetDestroy,
        Steps: []resource.TestStep{
            {
                Config: testAccWidgetConfig_basic(rName),
                ConfigStateChecks: []statecheck.StateCheck{
                    statecheck.ExpectKnownValue(resourceName, tfjsonpath.New("name"), knownvalue.StringExact(rName)),
                    statecheck.ExpectKnownValue(resourceName, tfjsonpath.New("id"), knownvalue.NotNull()),
                },
            },
            {
                ResourceName:      resourceName,
                ImportState:       true,
                ImportStateVerify: true,
            },
        },
    })
}

func testAccWidgetConfig_basic(rName string) string {
    return fmt.Sprintf(`
resource "examplecloud_widget" "test" {
  name = %[1]q
}
`, rName)
}

Use the provider-test-patterns skill (if available) for the full testing treatment: config helper style (%[1]q indexed verbs), statecheck/plancheck, CompareValue, custom StateCheck implementations for exists/disappears helpers, sweepers, and ephemeral resource testing. Use the run-acceptance-tests skill for executing and debugging test runs.

Error Handling

Match API errors by type, not message text, and wrap with context:

var notFound *examplecloud.NotFoundError
if errors.As(err, &notFound) {
    // resource doesn't exist
}

// Wrapping inside helpers: preserve the cause with %w
return fmt.Errorf("creating Widget (%s): %w", name, err)

Diagnostics follow a consistent grammar — summary names the operation and type, detail carries identifier and cause:

resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
    "Error creating Widget",
    fmt.Sprintf("creating Widget (%s): %s", name, err),
)

resp.Diagnostics.AddAttributeError(
    path.Root("name"),
    "Invalid name",
    "Name must be lowercase alphanumeric",
)

Documentation

Write attribute MarkdownDescriptions first — they are the source of truth. Then generate Registry documentation with tfplugindocs (go generate ./... where wired up), adding docs/**/*.md.tmpl templates only for prose and examples the generator cannot derive. Use the provider-docs skill (if available) for the full documentation workflow and Registry publication rules.

Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
License(s).

3.4. Notices

You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.

3.5. Application of Additional Terms

You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
jurisdiction.

4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
---------------------------------------------------

If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.

5. Termination
--------------

5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
Your receipt of the notice.

5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
2.1 of this License shall terminate.

5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
prior to termination shall survive termination.

*  statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the       *
*  Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a        *
*  particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the     *

*  Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You     *
*  (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing,   *
*  repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an   *
*  essential part of this License. No use of any Covered Software is   *
*  authorized under this License except under this disclaimer.         *
*                                                                      *

-------------

Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
cross-claims or counter-claims.

9. Miscellaneous
----------------

This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
