You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals
- Category: System Design & Architecture
- Use case: Infrastructure as Code Template Generator
- Source task:
  - Generate Infrastructure as Code templates for deploying {{describe_the_infrastructure}}. IaC tool: {{terraform_pulumi_cloudformation_ansible}}. Cloud provider: {{cloud_provider}}. Include: parameterised variables for environment-specific values, resource naming conventions, tagging strategy, state management configuration, and a README explaining how to initialise, plan, and apply the infrastructure.

# Goal
IaC templates with parameterised variables, naming conventions, tagging strategy, state management config, and a usage README.

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
IaC templates with parameterised variables, naming conventions, tagging strategy, state management config, and a usage README.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When provisioning cloud infrastructure and wanting reproducible, version-controlled deployments.

PRO TIP

Always run terraform plan (or equivalent) in CI before merging infrastructure changes β€” infrastructure diffs should be reviewed like code diffs.
