SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps database teams design, create, and validate Snowflake semantic views (CREATE/ALTER SEMANTIC VIEW), ensuring correct DDL before deployment and preventing semantic-layer inconsistencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic view creation and alteration: Draft and validate DDL against Snowflake, including necessary synonyms and comments for dimensions, facts, and metrics.
  • Validation and safety: Use a temporary validation name and perform a live Snowflake CLI validation before applying the final semantic view.
  • Operational guidance: Provides end-to-end workflow for semantic view requests, from target database/schema to final deployment and cleanup.

Quick Start

Example: draft a semantic view for the analytic layer, then validate and apply it using the Snowflake CLI.
