• Codex
• Snowflake Cortex code
• Cursor

If you use a different AI assistant, you can clone or download the sigma-agent-skills repository and reference the skill files in skills/ manually.

Claude

To install agent skills for Sigma as a plugin for Claude Code, run the following commands:

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/sigmacomputing/sigma-agent-skills.git

/plugin install sigma-computing@sigma-computing

For more information, see Discover and install prebuilt plugins in the Claude documentation.

Codex

To use the agent skills for Sigma with OpenAI Codex, download or clone the repository so that Codex can access the skill files and AGENTS.md.

1. Clone the sigma-agent-skills repository:

   Bash

   git clone https://github.com/sigmacomputing/sigma-agent-skills.git

2. Run Codex from within the cloned sigma-agent-skills directory. Codex automatically loads AGENTS.md from the repository root and uses it as context.

For more information, see Build plugins in the Codex documentation.

Snowflake Cortex Code

To use agent skills for Sigma with Snowflake Cortex Code, run the following command in a Cortex Code session:

/skill add https://github.com/sigmacomputing/sigma-agent-skills.git

Cortex Code caches these skills locally. To update to the latest version, run:

/skill sync

For more information, see Cortex Code CLI extensibility in the Cortex Code documentation.

Use agent skills for Sigma

You can use agent skills for Sigma to support your AI assistants during common AI assistant workflows. Sigma currently provides the following agent skills:

• sigma-api
• sigma-data-models

sigma-api

The sigma-api skill provides instructions and reference materials that an AI assistant can use to authenticate against the Sigma REST API by acquiring a valid bearer token.

The sigma-api skill supports AI assistants through the authentication process by providing the following:

• Instructions for selecting the correct API base URL
• Instructions for exchanging client credentials for a bearer token
• Troubleshooting guidance for common authentication errors

sigma-data-models

The sigma-data-models skill provides instructions and reference materials that an AI assistant can use to build and manage Sigma data models from code.

To create a data model from a code representation using the Sigma REST API, you must provide a valid representation of a data model. The sigma-data-models skill supports AI assistants through the process of creating a valid representation by providing the following:

• Instructions for authenticating to the Sigma REST API
• Instructions for gathering metadata, such as locating connections, tables, and folders
• Reference materials that the AI assistant can use to structure individual elements in the representation correctly

For more information on creating data models from code, see Manage data models as code.
