snowflake

A guide for writing Snowflake queries, which are SQL requests sent to Snowflake, a cloud data platform. It covers analytics endpoints in the Self Serve backend and the shared connection pool used to run them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing analytics endpoints, SQL files, Snowflake service code, or query parameters. It also helps investigate missing rows, incorrect counts, and connection failures.
Why use it?
It focuses on matching each SQL placeholder with the correct input value, a common cause of wrong results or failed queries. It also keeps new code on the project's shared database connection.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

snowflake scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Self Serve Snowflake Skill

You are writing or modifying SQL that runs against Snowflake through Self Serve's singleton connection pool. SQL bind alignment is the most common Critical bug in this area.

When to use

  • Adding a new analytics endpoint (Snowflake-backed) under apps/lfx-one/src/server/.
  • Modifying a query that touches snowflake.service.ts directly.
  • Adding a new SQL file or modifying an existing one that uses ? placeholders.
  • Investigating dropped rows, wrong counts, or "snowflake disconnected" errors.

Workflow

  1. Re-read docs/architecture/backend/snowflake-integration.md (the reference linked below). It documents the singleton pool, query deduplication, warehouse selection, and result-set handling.
  2. Bind discipline — every ? placeholder in the SQL must have a corresponding value in the binds array, in the correct order. Bind mismatch is always Critical (the reviewer will flag it). Walk left-to-right through the SQL and count ?; the binds array length must equal that count.
  3. Do not bypass the singleton pool. snowflake.service.ts is a protected file. New consumers go through it; new query methods extend it under code-owner review.
  4. Parameterize, never interpolate. No string concatenation of user input into SQL.
  5. For project- or persona-scoped queries, filter by the right Snowflake column up front; do not over-fetch and filter in JS.
  6. Log via the logger service (not serverLogger). Use logger.debug for query tracing, logger.warning for empty results when a result was expected.
  7. For known-false-positive patterns (e.g., empty result sets that are valid), check docs/reviews/knowledge-base/data-and-snowflake.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

snowflake is a skill published in the GitHub repository linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve (11 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 609 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
