effort-estimate

effort-estimate is a skill for Claude Code from sfc-gh-dflippo/snowflake-dbt-demo. It costs 36 tokens per session (366 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A migration planning tool that estimates effort for database objects by grouping them into complexity bands and applying rates for SQL Server or Redshift workloads. It writes the estimate for use in a larger assessment report.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps estimate migration effort for SQL Server and Redshift database objects and produce a JSON result for the assessment report.
Why use it?
Migration teams need a consistent way to turn technical complexity into an effort estimate. This tool provides that estimate from SnowConvert reports instead of requiring manual calculation.

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

effort-estimate 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Effort Estimates

Thin wrapper over scai assessment effort-estimate. SCAI reads SnowConvert reports, bands every object by complexity, prices each band against the dialect's rate card, and writes one timestamped JSON the parent assessment multi-report consumes.

  • Supported dialects: SQL Server, Redshift. Any other dialect aborts with ASM0031 — report skipped, not an error.

Run

scai assessment effort-estimate

Writes <project_dir>/artifacts/assessment/effort-estimates-YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.json. Return that path to the parent; the multi-report auto-discovers it from --project-dir. Never parse or rewrite the file.

Sub-agent contract

On entry, call configure with project_dir from the parent's context block. Take no user prompts. On completion return JSON only:

{
  "sub_skill": "effort-estimate",
  "status": "ok",
  "output_json": "<abs path to effort-estimates-*.json>",
  "summary": "<one-line: ddl_objects, total_estimated_hours>",
  "error": null
}
  • Unsupported dialect (ASM0031): status "skipped", output_json null, error null.
  • Any other failure: status "error", output_json null, error "<message>".

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.

effort-estimate is a skill published in the GitHub repository sfc-gh-dflippo/snowflake-dbt-demo (33 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 366 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-10.
