Cortex Code Skills

This is a curated collection of Agent Skills for Cortex Code ("CoCo") — Snowflake's CLI for building with AI.

Each skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md that teaches CoCo a workflow, coding standard, or domain-specific best practice. CoCo already ships with 50+ bundled skills (run /skill to browse). The skills here extend that catalog with workflows contributed by Data Superheroes, Snowflake employees, and partners.

Install these skills

Open Cortex Code and ask:

Install the skills from https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/cortex-code-skills

CoCo will clone, cache, and register every skill in this repo. To pull updates later:

Sync my skills

To install a single skill rather than the whole repo:

Install the skill at https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/cortex-code-skills/tree/main/skills/

Once installed, invoke a skill by typing $ followed by your prompt. Run /skill list to see what's loaded, or $$ to verify the active session's skill set.

> Snowflake connection required. Most skills here run SQL or call Cortex services. Set your active connection with cortex connections set before invoking.

Authoring a skill

1. Start from an existing skill — pick any skill in skills/ whose shape matches what you're building (e.g. [rbac](skills/rbac) for a router skill, [dcr-v1-to-v2](skills/dcr-v1-to-v2) for a multi-step pipeline). Copy its folder and rename to your skill's name. 2. Fill in the frontmatter — name, title, summary, description with triggers, type (community | snowflake | partner), and tools you'll use. 3. Write the body — Overview, Workflow with numbered steps, Common Mistakes. Aim for under ~500 words; move reference material to references/.md, executable helpers to scripts/. 4. Pick a license — Apache 2.0 for community contributors, Snowflake license for employees. The license file lives inside the skill folder, not at the repo root. 5. Test in CoCo — load your local skill with Install the skill at and run a few sessions against representative tasks. 6. Open a PR — see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for the review checklist.

Repo structure

skills/
your-skill-name/
SKILL.md # required
LICENSE # required (Apache 2.0 or Snowflake license)
references/ # optional — additional docs loaded on demand
patterns.md
scripts/ # optional — executable helpers (Python, bash)
validate.py
assets/ # optional — templates, fixtures, sample data
example.csv

references/ and scripts/ are first-class. Use them to keep SKILL.md focused on the workflow itself; CoCo loads supporting files only when the workflow points at them.

Troubleshooting

| Problem | Fix | | ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | /skill list doesn't show a skill from this repo | Re-run the install prompt above, then run /skill sync. | | Skill triggers in unexpected sessions | Tighten the description field — keep triggers specific, list "Do NOT use for…" cases for adjacent skills. | | Skill never triggers | Trigger keywords may be too…
