Crust

Crust – see your infrastructure plan exposed with clarity.

Documentation

Crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, where everything visible happens — just like the terraform plan output: it shows what will change in your infrastructure, but in a raw, hard-to-read format.

The Crust CLI acts as a filter: it interprets this confusing surface and transforms it into something clear, explaining what will actually happen, directly in the layer that developers need to see.

Crust is a CLI tool that uses OpenAI to enhance the Terraform and Terragrunt experience by providing security analysis, cost analysis, and detailed plan explanations.

• Security Analysis: Uses OpenAI to identify potential security issues in Terraform plans
• Cost Analysis: Calculates AWS infrastructure costs using the AWS Pricing API
• Plan Explanation: Uses OpenAI to provide clear explanations of Terraform/Terragrunt plan outputs
• Multi-language Support: Explanations available in multiple languages
• Colorized Output: Beautifully formatted output with colors and emojis

• Node.js 18 or higher
• npm, yarn, or pnpm
• Terraform or Terragrunt installed
• OpenAI API key

# Install globally
npm install -g @typper-io/crust

# Or use with npx
npx @typper-io/crust

Before using Crust, you need to initialize it with your OpenAI API key:

crust init

This will create a configuration file at ~/.crust.json with your settings.

# Analyze security issues
crust security

# Analyze AWS costs
crust cost

# Explain Terraform plan
crust explain

# Run all analyses at once
crust all

Crust is configured through a global configuration file at ~/.crust.json:

{
  "openaiKey": "your-openai-api-key",
  "terraformPlanCommand": "terraform plan",
  "language": "en"
}

• openaiKey: Your OpenAI API key
• terraformPlanCommand: Command to execute terraform plan
• language: Language for explanations (e.g., "en", "pt-br")

Crust uses XML tags for colorized output:

• <red>, <green>, <blue>, <yellow>, <purple>, <cyan>, <white>
• <bold>, <italic>, <underline>, <strikethrough>
