Finds and ranks expensive Snowflake queries by cost, time, or data scanned. Use when: (1) User asks to find slow, expensive, or problematic queries (2) Task mentions "query history", "top queries", "most expensive", or "slowest queries" (3) Analyzing warehouse costs or identifying optimization candidates (4) Finding queries that scan the most data or have the most spillage Returns ranked list of queries with metrics and optimization recommendations.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'finding-expensive-queries' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'finding-expensive-queries' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named finding-expensive-queries already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/AltimateAI/data-engineering-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd6a2faa14b32da613366856b44811138b8e26127' -- 'skills/snowflake/finding-expensive-queries' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/snowflake/finding-expensive-queries' ~/.agents/skills/'finding-expensive-queries' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'finding-expensive-queries' ~/.claude/skills/'finding-expensive-queries' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
