Promote devops-guidance from Snowflake-Solutions

[jdanielmyers]

Summary

Promotes the devops-guidance skill from the internal Snowflake-Solutions/cortex-code-skills repo to public Labs, rewritten for an external builder audience (developers, data engineers).

Run through the v1.1.0 audit pipeline:

• Holistic LLM rewrite for builder audience
• All internal Snowflake references substituted with public equivalents (e.g., Snowhouse -> ACCOUNT_USAGE)
• audience.no_internal_refs check passes

Test plan

• Audit blocking_failures == 0
• audience.no_internal_refs passes
• Frontmatter matches Labs conventions (snowflake-docs / manage-zerocopy-sapbdc precedents)
• LICENSE present (Snowflake)
• No Snowflake-Solutions repo path leakage

Audit Report: devops-guidance

Re-audit (post-v1.1.1 + critical fixes). Original report superseded.

Summary

Category	🔴	🟡	🟢
Frontmatter	0	0	0
Structure	0	0	0
Workflow	0	0	1

Critical 🔴

None — all critical findings from the original audit have been addressed.

Warnings 🟡

None.

Suggestions 🟢

1. Good use of "core positions" as numbered opinionated stances — this prevents the agent from waffling. The advisory nature (no destructive operations) correctly leads to soft checkpoints rather than hard stopping points.

Verdict

Ready to merge — Advisory skill with clear opinionated positions, proper tool recommendation matrix, and appropriate soft stopping points for ambiguity and user-disagreement scenarios.
