Deploy and run the BvA Variance app — a full-stack Next.js web app that ships alongside this skill, for Budget vs. Actuals analysis with an embedded Cortex Chat setup agent. Use this skill whenever someone asks to deploy, install, set up, or stand up the BvA Variance app on a Snowflake account — including first-time customer installs where the user has no Snowflake CLI connection configured yet. Also covers running the app locally and understanding how its setup agent works.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Overview

This skill hosts the **BvA Variance** deploy playbook. The React application source code **ships alongside this skill** (in the bundled app source folder). This skill can drive the entire deploy for someone who has never used the Snowflake CLI before — it runs its steps against that bundled app source.

> **Path placeholder used throughout this skill:** every reference below to `<APP_SOURCE>` is the absolute path to the BvA Variance app source folder that ships with this skill (the folder containing `snowflake.yml`). Step 0 establishes this. Never leave `<APP_SOURCE>` as a literal placeholder in a shell command — always substitute the concrete path.

The app is a full-stack Next.js application (App Router) that:
- Provides a 7-step setup wizard for configuring BvA data sources
- Materializes a BvA dataset in Snowflake from user-supplied GL, budget, cost center, and ledger mapping tables
- Renders an interactive BvA Working dashboard and Expense Breakdown view
- Includes an embedded Cortex Chat agent for AI-guided setup

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add snowflake-labs/coco-skills/bva_variance_setup@sha256:183d502746267073

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
