Build governed apps in minutes with code-backed Sigma and a coding agent

Sigma describes using its private-beta Workbooks as Code feature, a YAML-based workbook representation, with coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, and Snowflake CoCo to create governed data applications from natural-language workflow descriptions. By supplying agents with examples of established workbooks and configurable Sigma Skills that ask about approvals, editable fields, scenarios, and AI-agent needs, the author reports building a tested FP&A scenario-planning app with writeback, approval flows, AI summaries, audit capabilities, and a Sigma Agent in eight minutes rather than several hours. The approach is also presented as a way to modernize legacy BI dashboards by interpreting their data and workflows and proposing app-based replacements rather than simply recreating them. Although Sigma’s governance, permissions, data models, and warehouse writeback are intended to apply automatically, people must still determine access rights, approval requirements, scope, and acceptable agent behavior. Workbooks as Code remains available only to selected private-beta customers, while apps can still be built through Sigma’s standard user interface.
