Snowflake Create Replication Group

What it does

This skill provides prescriptive, parameter-aware guidance for generating Snowflake CREATE REPLICATION GROUP statements. It directs an agent to consult the parameter reference, decide when non-default values are required, and produce minimal, correct DDL using CREATE REPLICATION GROUP IF NOT EXISTS semantics. The skill emphasizes required fields (OBJECT_TYPES, ALLOWED_ACCOUNTS) and correct patterns for primary vs. replica group creation.

When to use it

Use this skill when a user asks the agent to create or scaffold Snowflake replication group DDL, or when converting high-level replication requirements into concrete SQL statements. It's intended for cases where correctness and least-surprise behavior matter (avoid unnecessary clauses and do not use CREATE OR REPLACE).

What's included

• Scripts: none (has_scripts=false)
• References: references/parameters.md which lists all configurable parameters and defaults; the agent must consult this before emitting DDL.
• Instructions: stepwise checklist—review parameters, include only non-defaults or explicitly requested parameters, use IF NOT EXISTS, ensure OBJECT_TYPES and corresponding ALLOWED_* lists are present, and prefer primary/secondary syntax depending on account role.

Compatible agents

Best used by SQL-capable coding assistants and agents with Snowflake knowledge (Copilot-style code helpers, SQL LLM prompts, or internal DB automation tools).
