Top use cases
Save the prompts you reuse and regenerate diagrams every time your stack changes.
Show compute warehouses mapped to workloads and SLAs
Document data sharing, replication, and failover zones
Illustrate role-based access and masking policies
Highlight cost levers like warehouse sizing and caching
Workflow that ships
List warehouses, sizes, and workloads. Include schedules and multi-cluster policies.
Add databases, schemas, and data products. Call out replication and sharing.
Ask AI to render access paths with roles, masking, and row access policies.
Export a runbook view that links to monitoring and cost dashboards.
Prompt recipes
Copy, tweak, and save in your repo so regenerations stay consistent.
"Diagram Snowflake with ETL warehouse, BI warehouse, ML warehouse, replication to DR region, and secure data sharing to partners."
"Show RBAC with roles for finance, marketing, and data science. Include masking and row access policies."
"Visualize cost controls: warehouse auto-suspend, result cache, and query tagging for chargeback."
Quality checklist
Warehouses show size, scaling policy, and schedule.

FAQ
How do I show data sharing without exposing PII?
Use abstracted tables and note applied masking policies. Highlight consumer orgs and SLAs instead of raw schemas.
What about failover?
Add a DR lane with replication cadence and cutover steps. Keep it concise so reviewers see the blast radius quickly.
Can AI help with cost reviews?
Yes. Include warehouse tags and workload types in your prompt so AI highlights optimization targets.
