Deploy agent to Databricks Apps using DAB (Databricks Asset Bundles). Use when: (1) User says 'deploy', 'push to databricks', or 'bundle deploy', (2) 'App already exists' error occurs, (3) Need to bind/unbind existing apps, (4) Debugging deployed apps, (5) Querying deployed app endpoints.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a strong skill description that clearly defines its scope (Databricks Apps deployment via DAB), lists concrete actions, and provides explicit trigger conditions covering user phrases, error scenarios, and specific use cases. The description is concise yet comprehensive, making it easy for Claude to distinguish this skill from others.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: deploying agents, using DAB (Databricks Asset Bundles), binding/unbinding existing apps, debugging deployed apps, and querying deployed app endpoints. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (deploy agent to Databricks Apps using DAB) and 'when' with an explicit 'Use when:' clause listing five specific trigger scenarios including user phrases and error conditions. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'deploy', 'push to databricks', 'bundle deploy', 'App already exists' error, 'bind/unbind', 'debugging deployed apps', 'querying deployed app endpoints'. Good coverage of both commands and error scenarios. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly specific niche targeting Databricks Apps deployment via DAB with distinct triggers like 'bundle deploy', 'App already exists' error, and Databricks-specific terminology. Unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a strong, highly actionable deployment skill with excellent workflow clarity, particularly in handling the common 'App Already Exists' error scenario with explicit validation steps and decision points. The content is well-structured with clear sections, executable commands, and practical troubleshooting guidance. Minor weaknesses include some redundancy (app naming mentioned twice, 302 error covered in two places) and the file being somewhat long for a single SKILL.md, though the content density is generally justified.
Suggestions
Consider moving the FAQ and Troubleshooting table into a separate DEPLOY-TROUBLESHOOTING.md file referenced from the main skill to reduce the token footprint of the primary skill file.
Remove the duplicate mention of the app naming convention (covered in both 'App Naming Convention' section and 'Important Notes') and consolidate the 302 redirect guidance to one location.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is mostly efficient and provides necessary deployment-specific knowledge Claude wouldn't have. However, some sections are slightly verbose—e.g., the explanatory notes after steps could be tightened, and the 'Important Notes' section partially repeats information already covered (app naming convention is mentioned twice). The FAQ section adds useful but somewhat redundant content (302 redirect is covered in both the query section and FAQ). | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides fully executable bash commands, concrete YAML configuration snippets, specific curl examples with headers and payloads, and Python code for OBO authentication. Every step has copy-paste ready commands with clear parameters. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Multi-step processes are clearly sequenced with numbered steps and explicit validation checkpoints (pre-flight check, bundle validate before deploy, checking if already bound before binding). The 'App Already Exists' flow includes a decision point asking the user, followed by two clearly delineated options with step-by-step instructions. Error recovery is addressed (e.g., 'If bind fails with Resource already managed by Terraform, skip to Step 5'). The deploy sequence explicitly warns that `bundle run` is required after `bundle deploy`. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references external files (`.claude/skills/add-tools/examples/lakebase-autoscaling.yaml`, other skills like 'add-tools' and 'lakebase-setup') and external documentation, which is good. However, the SKILL.md itself is quite long (~180 lines of substantive content) and some sections like the detailed bind workflow, FAQ, and troubleshooting table could potentially be split into separate reference files. The structure is well-organized with clear headers, but it's borderline monolithic for a single skill file. | 2 / 3 |
