Terraform Language rules implement recommendations from the Terraform Language documentation. This ruleset does not provide configurable rules for personal/team style or usage preferences. If you'd like to enforce stylistic rules beyond the official Terraform Language recommendations, you should author your own ruleset plugin.
All rules are enabled by default, but by setting preset = "recommended", you can enable only the rules marked "Recommended" among the following rules. See Configuration for details.
