Subagent Cortex Code

Cortex Code Skill

This skill routes Snowflake-related operations to Cortex Code CLI, enabling coding agents to leverage specialized Snowflake expertise in headless mode.

Quick Install

Choose your coding agent:

Prerequisite for all: Cortex Code CLI installed and configured.

Also works out of the box with many other agents

When you run npx skills add snowflake-labs/subagent-cortex-code --copy --global, the skill is automatically installed for every "universal" agent the skills CLI knows about. No extra steps required — just restart the agent.

Universal agents (installed to ~/.agents/skills/cortex-code/, always included):

- Amp
- Antigravity
- Cline
- Deep Agents
- Firebender
- Gemini CLI
- Kimi Code CLI
- OpenCode
- Warp

For the full list of 40+ supported agents (including optional opt-in ones like Continue, Goose, OpenHands, Roo Code, etc.) see the skills CLI agents catalog. The interactive npx prompt lets you select additional targets per install.
