The `/armor:connect` skill helps you connect new data sources to AnomalyArmor.

## Usage

```
/armor:connect
```

Or ask naturally:

* "Connect my Snowflake warehouse"
* "Add a new PostgreSQL database"
* "Set up BigQuery connection"

## Example Usage

```
You: Connect my Snowflake warehouse

Claude: I'll help you connect Snowflake. I need a few details:

1. Account identifier (e.g., xy12345.us-east-1)
2. Warehouse name
3. Database to monitor
4. Authentication method (password or key pair)

What's your Snowflake account identifier?

You: xy12345.us-east-1

Claude: Great! Creating connection...

Connection created:
- Name: snowflake-prod
- Account: xy12345.us-east-1
- Status: Testing connection...

Connection successful! Starting asset discovery...
Found 156 tables across 12 schemas.

Next: Use /armor:monitor to set up freshness monitoring.
```

## Common Questions

### Which data warehouses and databases can I connect with this skill?

Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, Redshift, and Databricks. See [data sources](/data-sources/overview) for the full list and the credentials each connector needs.

### Where are my warehouse credentials stored after I connect?

Credentials are encrypted at rest and used only by the [Query Gateway](/security/query-gateway) to run metadata queries. They are never exposed to the agent or included in logs.
