snowflake-connections is a skill for Claude Code from sfc-gh-dflippo/snowflake-dbt-demo. It costs 89 tokens per session (5,342 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for configuring connections to Snowflake, a cloud data platform, for Snowflake CLI, Streamlit, Snowpark, and dbt. It covers connection files, authentication methods, environments, and environment-variable overrides.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating connections.toml or dbt profiles.yml files, configuring SSO, key-pair, password, or OAuth login, setting up CI/CD access, rotating credentials, and troubleshooting connections.
Why use it?
It helps avoid connection and authentication errors when using different Snowflake tools or multiple environments such as development and production.

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 B, and why

snowflake-connections scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 13d 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.

Snowflake Connections

Configure and manage Snowflake connections for CLI tools, Streamlit apps, dbt, and Snowpark applications.

Configuration Files:

  • connections.toml - Used by Snowflake CLI, Streamlit, and Snowpark
  • profiles.yml - Used by dbt (different format, covered in dbt-core skill)

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when users ask about:

  • Setting up Snowflake connections for CLI, Streamlit, or Snowpark
  • Configuring connections.toml file
  • Authentication methods (SSO, key pair, username/password, OAuth)
  • Managing multiple environments (dev, staging, prod)
  • Overriding connection settings with environment variables
  • Troubleshooting authentication or connection issues
  • Rotating credentials or keys
  • Setting up CI/CD authentication

Note: For dbt-specific connection setup using profiles.yml, see the dbt-core skill. The concepts and authentication methods in this skill still apply, but dbt uses a different configuration file format.

Configuration File

This skill covers connections.toml used by Snowflake CLI, Streamlit, and Snowpark.

For dbt: Use ~/.dbt/profiles.yml instead. See the dbt-core skill for dbt configuration. The authentication methods described here apply to both files.
