databricks-agent-skills

Execute code and manage compute on Databricks: run Python/Scala/SQL/R via serverless, classic, or interactive clusters, and create/resize/delete clusters and SQL warehouses.

Create, manage, and query Databricks Genie Agents — curated, per-data natural-language agents (formerly Genie Spaces): build, export/import, migrate across workspaces, and ask questions of a *specific* Agent via the Conversation API. For general data questions or finding data across your workspace, use databricks-data-discovery (Genie One) instead.

Apache Iceberg tables on Databricks — Managed Iceberg tables, External Iceberg Reads (fka Uniform), Compatibility Mode, Iceberg REST Catalog (IRC), Iceberg v3, Snowflake interop, PyIceberg, OSS Spark, external engine access and credential vending. Use when creating Iceberg tables, enabling External Iceberg Reads (uniform) on Delta tables (including Streaming Tables and Materialized Views via compatibility mode), configuring external engines to read Databricks tables via Unity Catalog IRC, integrating with Snowflake catalog to read Foreign Iceberg tables

Develop and deploy Lakeflow Jobs on Databricks via DABs, Python SDK, or the CLI. Use when creating data engineering jobs with notebooks, Python wheels, SQL, dbt, or pipelines. Invoke BEFORE starting implementation.

Databricks Lakebase Postgres: projects, scaling, connectivity, Lakebase synced tables, and Data API. Use when asked about Lakebase databases, OLTP storage, or connecting apps to Postgres on Databricks.

Build managed ingestion pipelines into Databricks using Lakeflow Connect. Use when ingesting from SaaS apps (Salesforce, Workday Reports, ServiceNow, Google Analytics 4, HubSpot, Confluence) or databases (SQL Server cloud and on-prem; PostgreSQL/MySQL CDC in PuPr) into Unity Catalog with serverless pipelines.

Unity Catalog metric views: define, create, query, and manage governed business metrics in YAML. Use when building standardized KPIs, revenue metrics, order analytics, or any reusable business metrics that need consistent definitions across teams and tools.

MLflow 3 GenAI agent evaluation. Use when writing mlflow.genai.evaluate() code, creating @scorer functions, using built-in scorers (Guidelines, Correctness, Safety, RetrievalGroundedness), building eval datasets from traces, setting up trace ingestion and production monitoring, aligning judges with MemAlign from domain expert feedback, or running optimize_prompts() with GEPA for automated prompt improvement.

Train ML models on Databricks. Use for: classification/regression/deep-learning (XGBoost, scikit-learn, LightGBM, PyTorch) with Optuna, @prod/@challenger aliases, batch scoring (spark_udf for plain models, fe.score_batch for feature-store-backed), custom PyFunc, custom ResponsesAgent (LangGraph + UC Function/Vector Search); UC feature tables + FeatureLookup + point-in-time joins + Lakebase online store; declarative Feature Views (create_feature, DeltaTableSource, RollingWindow/SlidingWindow/TumblingWindow, materialize_features, streaming Kafka features). NOT for: endpoint ops (databricks-model-serving), MLflow evaluation (databricks-mlflow-evaluation).

Databricks Model Serving endpoint lifecycle and ops. Use when asked to: CRUD serving endpoints (CLI or MLflow Deployments client); configure traffic routing for A/B / canary deploys and zero-downtime version swaps; retrieve OpenAPI schemas; inspect logs, metrics, or permissions; manage legacy AI Gateway rate limits (not Unity Gateway); discover Foundation Model API endpoints at runtime; integrate endpoints into Databricks Apps; or stream from off-platform clients (Vercel AI SDK v6, standalone Node.js). NOT for: Unity Gateway CRUD and management (databricks-unity-gateway), training, MLflow autologging, UC registration, custom PyFunc/ResponsesAgent authoring (databricks-ml-training); Knowledge Assistants/Supervisor Agents (databricks-agent-bricks); MLflow evaluation (databricks-mlflow-evaluation).

Develop Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines (formerly Delta Live Tables) on Databricks. Use when building batch or streaming data pipelines with Python or SQL, including Auto CDC from event streams or periodic complete snapshots. Invoke BEFORE starting implementation.

Databricks development guidance including Python SDK, Databricks Connect, CLI, and REST API. Use when working with databricks-sdk, databricks-connect, or Databricks APIs.

Serverless compute for Databricks jobs, Lakeflow pipelines and Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs), with STANDARD or PERFORMANCE_OPTIMIZED and classic only where serverless cannot run the workload. Use when creating, deploying, scheduling or editing a job or pipeline, or deciding its compute. Invoke BEFORE writing a job spec. For migrating existing classic workloads, use databricks-serverless-migration.

Migrate Databricks workloads from classic compute to serverless compute. Use when migrating notebooks, jobs, pipelines, or Scala JARs (`spark_jar_task`) from classic clusters to serverless, checking if existing code is serverless-compatible, or writing new serverless-compatible code. Provides concrete fixes for the serverless Spark Connect architecture and guides the full migration. Not for classic DBR version upgrades or cluster configuration changes within classic compute.

Previews, provisions, or diagnoses a uv-managed local Python .venv with `databricks environments setup-local`. Use when the user wants to set up or fix one for Databricks Connect, cluster or serverless compute, `--job-task`, or a bundle target, or when setup-local fails.
