worker-k8s-external

worker-k8s-external is a skill for Claude Code from sfc-gh-dflippo/snowflake-dbt-demo. It costs 56 tokens per session (2,304 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A deployment workflow for running a Data Exchange Worker on an externally managed Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes is software that runs and manages containers across a group of machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select the version pinned to the scai CLI, create the required secrets, generate a Deployment manifest, and verify the worker in the cluster.
Why use it?
It provides the worker's container version and deployment configuration while keeping source-database and Snowflake credentials in Kubernetes Secrets instead of embedding them in the deployment.

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

worker-k8s-external 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.

Worker Kubernetes Setup — External Cluster

Deploy the Data Exchange Worker as a Kubernetes Deployment on a customer-managed cluster. Unlike SPCS, there is no injected Snowflake token — both source database and Snowflake credentials are supplied explicitly via Kubernetes Secrets.

Step 1 — Image Version

The worker image version is pinned to your scai CLI release — do not use SHOW IMAGES to pick the latest tag, as it may be incompatible with this version of the CLI.

Get the pinned version by running:

scai data worker setup --compute-pool <any-pool>

The CLI logs: Using pinned Data Exchange Worker image: /snowflake/images/snowflake_images/data-exchange-worker:<version>

Record that exact version tag (e.g., 1.11.1). Use it as <version> in all subsequent steps. You can cancel the setup command once you have the version — this step is only needed to read the tag from CLI output. Upgrading the version later requires re-running this skill from the beginning.

Note: The image tag is a version number (e.g., 1.12.0), not a platform identifier. The source type is controlled by the DATA_SOURCE_TYPE environment variable. Read it from the project's scai source connection:

Source system DATA_SOURCE_TYPE
SQL Server sqlserver
Redshift redshift
Oracle oracle
Teradata teradata
PostgreSQL postgresql

Step 2 — Affinity Label

In all steps below, substitute every <placeholder> token with its actual value — never output a literal <placeholder> string. Key substitutions:

  • <label> — the affinity label confirmed in this step
  • <version> — the image version from Step 1
  • <source_type>, <host>, <port>, <database> — from the project's scai source connection
  • <replica_count> — the count the user provides in Step 3
  • <source_username>, <source_password> — source database credentials from the project's scai source connection; do not ask the user to type these in the chat — instruct them to fill them directly into the command
  • <snowflake_account>, <snowflake_user>, <snowflake_password>, <warehouse> — Snowflake credentials collected from the user in Step 4; do not ask the user to say passwords in the chat — instruct them to fill them directly into the command

worker-k8s-external 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 56 tokens to every session and 2,304 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 2026-09-10.
