At a glance

Runs the Airbyte protocol sweep for a source-snowflake image against the shared Snowflake integration account, in an isolated per-run schema.

  • Verifying a source-snowflake connector image against a real Snowflake account
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Layout, Isolation model and Cursor upper-bound canary, plus 1 more section
  • Runs Shell and Python scripts from its folder
  • Proving a fix by comparing a control and a target connector version

What it does

This is an end-to-end harness for the source-snowflake connector. Every run uses a fresh schema named PROVEFIX_ plus the run id in the shared Snowflake integration account. It needs Docker, uv, jq, a gcloud login that can read the secret holding the Snowflake config (or an existing SNOWFLAKE_CONFIG_FILE) and a clone of the airbyte repository.

Isolation is strict. Each run asserts that its schema is absent before the control and target runs, refuses pre-existing schemas that lack the run's marker, drops the schema in an exit trap, and never touches schemas outside PROVEFIX_. scripts/sweep-orphans.sh lists or drops old PROVEFIX_ schemas, defaulting to four hours. Only sf.py talks to Snowflake, and only configs the scripts fetched are removed at teardown, so a config you supply survives.

The cursor upper-bound canary compares fixed version 1.1.1 with control 1.1.0. After an initial sync on the control image, it inserts a sub-microsecond boundary row and replays the saved state on both versions: 1.1.0 loses the row because it floors the upper bound, while 1.1.1 emits it. Snowflake uppercases identifiers, so cursor and stream names must be given in capitals. The excerpt is cut off where the gotchas begin.

When your agent uses it

  • Verifying a source-snowflake connector image against a real Snowflake account
  • Proving a fix by comparing a control and a target connector version
  • Running the cursor upper-bound canary
  • Cleaning up leftover PROVEFIX schemas from earlier runs

Example prompts

  • “Run the source-snowflake end-to-end sweep for the new connector tag and compare it with the control.”
  • “Run the cursor upper-bound canary and tell me whether the boundary row is emitted.”
  • “List the PROVEFIX schemas older than the default window and drop them.”

Requirements

  • Docker, uv and jq
  • gcloud with read access to the Snowflake config secret, or a SNOWFLAKE_CONFIG_FILE
  • A clone of the airbyte repository

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8dbd366. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 9 files in scripts/ (Shell and Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.astral.sh

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Source Snowflake E2E Tests loads about 918 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 362 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~918

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 362 words (~918 tokens).

“Remote end-to-end harness for source-snowflake. The shared db-harness-lib orchestration runs protocol commands against a per-run schema in the shared Snowflake integration account.”
