Snowflake playbook. Workflows for RBAC rollout, warehouse sizing and cost control, secure data sharing, Streams/Tasks/Snowpipe pipelines, permissions audit, and Time Travel / Fail-safe recovery. Use when designing, operating, or auditing Snowflake.
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
# Snowflake - Playbook **Companion rule:** `482-snowflake.mdc`. This skill turns those patterns into end-to-end workflows. --- ## When to invoke Use when the user is: - Designing a new Snowflake account, database, or warehouse - Rolling out or auditing RBAC (roles, grants, object ownership) - Tuning cost (warehouse sizing, auto-suspend, query optimization, storage) - Building pipelines with Snowpipe, Streams, Tasks, or Dynamic Tables - Setting up secure data sharing (Reader Accounts, Snowflake Marketplace, Private Listings) - Recovering from a bad change (Time Travel, Fail-safe) - Governing sensitive data (masking, row access policies, tagging) --- ## Golden Rules 1. **Roles hold privileges; users hold roles.** Never grant directly to users. 2. **Use `USE ROLE` at the top of every script.** Implicit roles cause access-denied mysteries. 3. **Warehouses suspend aggressively** (60s auto-suspend for interactive; higher for streaming). 4. **Right-size warehouses**; scale with multi-cluster, not with XL. 5. **Time Travel is real; Fail-safe is last-resort.** Set retention deliberately per schema. 6. **Every production role chain has an owner and an audit trail.** --- …

How to install
mdr add d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/snowflake@sha256:fac9bf43b37a3375The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260420.9a16297, 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.
