Cortex Code is Snowflake's AI-driven coding agent that consolidates data engineering workflows into a single interface. This guide covers enabling it in a Snowflake account (cross-region inference setup, role grants), monitoring costs via CORTEX_AGENT_USAGE_HISTORY, and choosing between the Snowsight UI (for exploration, ad-hoc SQL, demos) versus the CLI (for dbt projects, local file editing, git workflows, and CI/CD). A hybrid approach is recommended: start in Snowsight for exploration, then move to the CLI when local file persistence or git integration is needed.
