Snowflake Development

Category: Engineering Domain: Data Warehouse

Overview

The Snowflake Development skill provides tools for analyzing and optimizing Snowflake SQL queries, recommending warehouse sizing, and enforcing Snowflake-specific best practices. Helps data engineers reduce costs and improve query performance.

Clarify First

Before analyzing or sizing, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

• Action — analyze / optimize / warehouse-sizing (--action; selects the workflow)
• SQL file or query — the specific query(ies) to optimize (--file; the subject of the analysis)
• Workload type & data volume — ETL / BI / ad-hoc and the GB scale (--workload/--data-volume; drives the warehouse recommendation)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.
