Questions about snowflake-cortex
What does the snowflake-cortex skill do?
Use Cortex AI services — Cortex Analyst for natural-language-to-SQL through semantic views, Cortex Search for semantic search, and Cortex Agents for orchestrated AI tasks.
How do I install snowflake-cortex?
In a terminal: npx skills add Snowflake-Labs/snowflake-ai-kit --skill snowflake-cortex. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use snowflake-cortex?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is snowflake-cortex safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.
Which tool is snowflake-cortex for?
snowflake-cortex comes from the makers of The Snowflake AI Data Cloud and helps your agent work with it.

Auto-routing skill loaded by the prompt filter hook. Routes Snowflake-related operations to Cortex Code CLI. Not for direct invocation — use $cortex-run instead.
ONLY load this skill when the user explicitly types $cortex-run or /cortex-run. NEVER load this skill from auto-routing hooks or keyword matching. For auto-routed prompts, use snowflake-cortex-code:cortex-router instead.
Manage Database Change Management (DCM) projects in Snowflake. DCM is infrastructure-as-code for Snowflake objects — databases, schemas, tables, and roles defined in manifest.yml with DEFINE blocks.
Discover databases, schemas, tables, views, and columns in Snowflake. Use when the user wants to understand what data is available or inspect table structure.
Audit data access, inspect masking and row access policies, review tags and classification, and analyze role hierarchies and grants in Snowflake.
Monitor and manage Snowflake data pipelines — Dynamic Tables, streams, tasks, dbt projects, and Snowpipe. Check refresh status, diagnose failures, and inspect pipeline dependencies.
Run SQL queries against Snowflake through the Managed MCP Server. Use for data retrieval, aggregations, joins, semi-structured data, time travel, and any explicit SQL the user requests.
Create, inspect, and manage semantic views in Snowflake. Semantic views define the governed data model (entities, dimensions, metrics, relationships) that Cortex Analyst queries through.

Rigor Explore compatible skill slug for meaningful and potentially novel deep learning research candidates. Use when the researcher has chosen the task family, dataset, benchmark, evaluation method, provided SOTA references, and wants candidate-only exploration on top of `current_research` with auditable repo understanding, idea gating, fair comparison, and governed experiments written to `explore_outputs/`. Do not use for README-first trusted reproduction, open-ended direction finding, narrow code-only or run-only exploration, passive repo analysis, verified novelty claims, or implicit experimentation.
Rigor Reproduce compatible skill slug for README-first deep learning repository reproduction. Use when the user wants an end-to-end, minimal-trustworthy flow that reads the repository first, selects the smallest documented inference or evaluation target, coordinates intake, setup, trusted execution, optional trusted training, optional repository analysis, and optional paper-gap resolution, enforces conservative patch rules, records evidence assumptions deviations and human decision points, and writes the standardized `repro_outputs/` bundle. Do not use for paper summary, generic environment setup, isolated repo scanning, standalone command execution, silent protocol changes, score chasing, or broad research assistance outside repository-grounded reproduction.
Rigor Train skill for deep learning research repositories. Use when a documented or selected training command should be run conservatively for startup verification, short-run verification, full kickoff, or resume, with command, config, seed, log, checkpoint, status, and metric evidence written to standardized `train_outputs/`. Do not use for environment setup, exploratory sweeps, speculative idea implementation, or end-to-end orchestration.
Rigor Improve / Rigor Explore run leaf skill for bounded exploratory evidence in deep learning research repositories. Use when the researcher explicitly authorizes exploratory runs such as small-subset validation, short-cycle guess-and-check, batch sweeps, idle-GPU search, or quick transfer-learning trials, with fair-comparison caveats and no-overclaim summaries in `explore_outputs/`. Do not use for end-to-end exploration orchestration on top of `current_research`, trusted baseline execution, conservative training verification, default routing, verified SOTA claims, or implicit experimentation.
Search, scrape, crawl, extract structured data, and monitor web pages via the ScrapeGraph AI CLI. Use when the user asks to search the web, scrape a webpage, grab content from a URL, extract JSON from a site, crawl documentation or site sections, monitor a page for changes, inspect request history, check ScrapeGraph credits, or validate API setup.
When the user wants to create sales collateral, pitch decks, one-pagers, objection handling docs, or demo scripts. Also use when the user mentions 'sales deck,' 'pitch deck,' 'one-pager,' 'leave-behind,' 'objection handling,' 'deal-specific ROI analysis,' 'demo script,' 'talk track,' 'sales playbook,' 'proposal template,' 'buyer persona card,' 'battle card,' 'battlecard,' 'competitive one-pager,' 'win-loss analysis,' 'why are we losing deals,' 'loss reasons,' 'how do I respond to this objection,' 'prospect just said,' 'help my sales team,' 'sales materials,' or 'what should I give my sales reps,' 'cold call script,' or 'voicemail script.' Use this for any document or asset that helps a sales team close deals. For public competitor comparison pages, see competitors. For running buyer interviews or churn research, see customer-research. For marketing website copy, see copywriting. For cold outreach emails, see cold-email. For the offer being sold (bonuses, guarantees, pricing structure), see offers.
