New Snowflake users need clear steps for access, keys, and first connections. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through SnowTower onboarding and common fixes.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "snowtower-user" from https://skillstore.io/skills/database-tycoon-snowtower-user.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/database-tycoon-snowtower-user/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "snowtower-user". How do I request Snowflake access?
Expected outcome:
The assistant explains the three-step flow: generate RSA keys locally, submit the GitHub access request with the public key, then connect after approval.
Using "snowtower-user". Authentication failed when I used Snow CLI.
Expected outcome:
The assistant checks approval status, account identifier, username, private key path, key permissions, and whether the submitted public key matches.
Using "snowtower-user". What should I do after my account is approved?
Expected outcome:
The assistant describes using the assigned username, account identifier, default role, and warehouse, then running first-session Snowflake checks.
Security Audit
SafeStatic analysis flagged many security patterns, but review found they are legitimate documentation examples for Snowflake onboarding. The skill does not contain prompt injection, secret exfiltration, hidden execution, or instructions to share private keys.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Onboard a new analyst
Walk a new data analyst through key generation, access request submission, and first Snowflake login.

Help an engineer choose RSA key authentication and configure Snow CLI or Python connector settings.
Resolve first-login issues
Guide a user through common Snowflake authentication, role, privilege, and warehouse troubleshooting steps.
Try These Prompts
I need Snowflake access through SnowTower. Walk me through what I need to do before I submit the request.
Help me generate the RSA key pair for Snowflake and identify exactly which public key text I should include in my access request.
My SnowTower access was approved. Show me how to connect with Snow CLI and verify my current user, role, and warehouse.
I cannot connect to Snowflake or I get insufficient privileges. Help me diagnose key permissions, account settings, role selection, and access gaps.
Best Practices
- Paste only the public key into access requests, never the private key.
- Replace every placeholder account, role, warehouse, and username before connecting.
- Start with a simple current-user query before running larger workloads.
Avoid
- Do not share the private RSA key in tickets, chat, or prompts.
- Do not use the web UI password for scripts or automated jobs.
- Do not request broad data access without a clear business justification.
