HOW — Read-only Snowflake validation patterns: use repo-documented CLI (snowflake/sql) or SQL checks. Never claim success without working credentials and evidence.
Use when the task or repo requires Snowflake verification. Workflow skills delegate here alongside dbt-validation.
AGENTS.md clearly authorizes it and the user approves.Read repo docs for: connection method (env vars, profiles.yml, SSO), Snowflake SQL or Snowflake CLI (snow) usage, and warehouse/database/schema defaults.
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| Credentials available | Run minimal SELECT statements or documented smoke queries; record that they were executed |
| Snowflake CLI documented | Use repo’s exact commands; check snow --help for current subcommands |
| No credentials | State skipped in Jira/PR; list what would be validated when access exists |
| dbt + Snowflake | Coordinate with dbt-validation; Snowflake may be exercised indirectly via dbt |
