06/10/2026, 2:24 AMrequired_providers in the output from atmos describe stacks so I found the page mentioning this (a blog post) but can't seem to find anything in the actual documentation nor do I see the fields in the manifest schema, so after adding the providers as per the example, atmos describe stacks is tripping up because the stack yamls no longer validate against the manifest schema at https://atmos.tools/schemas/atmos/atmos-manifest/1.0/atmos-manifest.json
Edit to clarify manifest schema, not json schema. I know I can comment out the schema from my atmos.yaml to bypass the error, but just curious how often is the online schema updated?Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse)
06/10/2026, 2:31 AMrequired_providers is not in the schema https://atmos.tools/schemas/atmos/atmos-manifest/1.0/atmos-manifest.json - it's an omission, we'll add it, thanks for reporting.
(all new fields should be aded to the schema if they implemented in code - we should also add an AI skills/agent for that)Thomas Spear

Use-case: We have a repo that a few teams contribute to but one team (my team) is responsible for. We generally try to keep the atmos binary pretty up-to-date in our CI image, but want to prevent the other teams from arbitrarily adding new features to their stacks until we can review. Being able to pin the manifest to a lower version than the binary we're using would help because the validation will fail much like it did for me today, if they add something that's supported by the binary but not by the chosen schema version.Thomas Spear

06/10/2026, 2:53 PMdescribe stacks output and it confirmed they are still empty. Upon digging further, it uncovered that the required_version and required_providers fields are at:
components:
terraform:
<component-name>:
metadata:
vars:
required_version:
required_providers:
While the very first example has it nested under a terraform sub-key as in:
components:
terraform:
<component-name>:
metadata:
vars:
terraform:
required_version:
required_providers:
Running atmos describe stacks against the latter leads to no error but empty values in the output, while running it against the former populates the outputs as expected.Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)
