Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Consult Snowflake CREATE REPLICATION GROUP parameter reference before generating any CREATE REPLICATION GROUP DDL.Key capabilities
- →Generates replication group DDL
- →Reviews replication parameters
- →Configures account replication settings
How it works
The tool provides a reference-based guide to generate correct Snowflake DDL for replication groups, ensuring parameters match user requirements.
Inputs & outputs
When to use snowflake-create-replication-group
- →Generate replication group DDL
- →Review replication parameters
- →Configure account replication settings
About this skill
Before writing a CREATE REPLICATION GROUP statement:
- Read
references/parameters.mdto review all available parameters and their defaults. - For each parameter, decide whether the user's request implies a non-default value.
- Include only the parameters that differ from the default or that the user explicitly requested — do not bloat the DDL with unnecessary clauses.
- Never use
CREATE OR REPLACE— always useCREATE REPLICATION GROUP IF NOT EXISTS. - Use the primary group syntax when creating in the source account; use the secondary (AS REPLICA OF) syntax when creating in a target account.
OBJECT_TYPESis required — always confirm which object types the user wants to replicate.- When DATABASES is in OBJECT_TYPES,
ALLOWED_DATABASESis also required. Similarly,ALLOWED_SHARESis required when SHARES is included,ALLOWED_EXTERNAL_VOLUMESfor EXTERNAL VOLUMES, andALLOWED_INTEGRATION_TYPESfor INTEGRATIONS. ALLOWED_ACCOUNTSis required and must useorg_name.account_nameformat.- Unlike failover groups, replication groups do not support automatic failover — clarify this distinction if the user's intent is high availability.
When not to use it
- →Generating failover group DDL
- →Automating high availability failover
Limitations
- →Does not support automatic failover
- →Requires specific object type definitions
How it compares
It focuses specifically on replication group DDL generation, distinguishing it from failover group configuration.
