It does sound cool and as an infra nerd myself it reads sensible, I just don't see why I would want another abstraction layer between my cloud deployments being rolled out and the tf/hcl files that I maintain. Why would I want to install another interface between me, the planfile and the running environment? Genuine question
It’s opinionated and built around a reference architecture- think it kind of like using rails or phoenix instead of just writing ruby or elixir. LLM’s are fantastic syntax generators, but they have no real opinions on architecture or finops.
Can this be used with the ponytail skill? https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail/tree/main
It should be compatible yeah - ponytail was the inspiration for this - ideally one could use ponytail for application code and neckbeard for infra.

Sometimes the name of a product makes me want to use it, even if I don’t have uses for it. This is such a name, I just keep on grinning.
Why not opentofu and ansible? Version and run it. I don’t see why i need this.
If you write your own tofu and use ansible you probably don’t - this is aimed more at containers/serverless.
Something to try for sure. Company recently migrated some ancient on prem databases to AWS, would've been useful then perhaps.
Thanks! Give it a try next time you need to provision infra.
