databricks-synthetic-data-genGenerate realistic synthetic data using Spark + Faker (strongly recommended). Supports serverless execution, multiple output formats (Parquet/JSON/CSV/Delta), and scales from thousands to millions of rows. For small datasets (<10K rows), can optionally generate locally and upload to volumes. Use when user mentions 'synthetic data', 'test data', 'generate data', 'demo dataset', 'Faker', or 'sample data'.0 installsdatabricks-coreDatabricks CLI operations and the parent/entry-point skill for Databricks CLI use: authentication, profile selection, and bundles. Load this first for CLI, auth, profile, and bundle tasks, then load the matching product skill. For finding or exploring data, answering questions about the data, or generating SQL, load the databricks-data-discovery skill (it routes to Genie One). Contains up-to-date guidelines for Databricks-related CLI tasks.0 installsdatabricks-zerobus-ingestBuild Zerobus Ingest clients for near real-time data ingestion into Databricks Delta tables via gRPC. Use when creating producers that write directly to Unity Catalog tables without a message bus, working with the Zerobus Ingest SDK in Python/Java/Go/TypeScript/Rust, generating Protobuf schemas from UC tables, or implementing stream-based ingestion with ACK handling and retry logic.0 installsdatabricks-ai-runtimeDatabricks AI Runtime (`air`) CLI — the command-line tool for submitting and managing GPU training workloads on Databricks serverless compute. Use for: running `air` workloads, custom Docker image setup, environment configuration, and troubleshooting `air` jobs.0 installsdatabricks-ai-functionsUse Databricks built-in AI Functions (ai_classify, ai_extract, ai_summarize, ai_mask, ai_translate, ai_fix_grammar, ai_gen, ai_analyze_sentiment, ai_similarity, ai_parse_document, ai_query, ai_forecast) to add AI capabilities directly to SQL and PySpark pipelines without managing model endpoints. Also covers document parsing and building custom RAG pipelines (parse → chunk → index → query).0 installsdatabricks-dbsqlDatabricks SQL (DBSQL) advanced features and SQL warehouse capabilities. This skill MUST be invoked when the user mentions: "DBSQL", "Databricks SQL", "SQL warehouse", "SQL scripting", "stored procedure", "CALL procedure", "materialized view", "CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW", "pipe syntax", "|>", "geospatial", "H3", "ST_", "spatial SQL", "collation", "COLLATE", "ai_query", "ai_classify", "ai_extract", "ai_gen", "AI function", "http_request", "remote_query", "read_files", "Lakehouse Federation", "recursive CTE", "WITH RECURSIVE", "multi-statement transaction", "temp table", "temporary view", "pipe operator". SHOULD also invoke when the user asks about SQL best practices, data modeling patterns, or advanced SQL features on Databricks.0 installs

databricks-icebergApache 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 tables0 installsdatabricks-apps-pythonBuilds Databricks applications. Prefers AppKit (TypeScript + React SDK) for new apps; falls back to Python frameworks (Dash, Streamlit, Gradio, Flask, FastAPI, Reflex) when Python is required. Handles OAuth authorization, app resources, SQL warehouse and Lakebase connectivity, model serving, foundation model APIs, and deployment. Use when building web apps, dashboards, ML demos, or REST APIs for Databricks, or when the user mentions AppKit, Streamlit, Dash, Gradio, Flask, FastAPI, Reflex, or Databricks app.0 installsdatabricks-appsBuild apps on Databricks Apps platform. Use when asked to create data apps, analytics tools, or custom interactive visualizations. A plain "create a dashboard" request means a managed AI/BI (Lakeview) dashboard → use databricks-aibi-dashboards, not this skill. Evaluates data access patterns (analytics vs Lakebase synced tables) before scaffolding. Invoke BEFORE starting implementation.0 installsdatabricks-dabsCreate, configure, validate, deploy, run, and manage Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs, formerly Databricks Asset Bundles). Use when working with Databricks resources via DABs including dashboards, jobs, pipelines, alerts, volumes, and apps.0 installsdatabricks-app-designDesign the UX of custom-code Databricks Apps (AppKit/React) data screens — KPI/overview pages, reports, charts, tables, and Genie/chat data assistants — mapped to concrete AppKit components. Use when BUILDING or reviewing the UI of an AppKit/React app that displays data or answers data questions: choosing genre, layout, charts, KPIs, semantic color, required states (loading/empty/error), IBCS notation, and AI-result trust (showing generated SQL/sources for Genie/chat). A plain "create a dashboard" request means a managed AI/BI (Lakeview) dashboard → use databricks-aibi-dashboards, NOT this skill. Also NOT for non-data frontend (forms, settings, auth, marketing) or scaffolding/build/deploy (→ databricks-apps). Complements databricks-apps; use it alongside whenever a custom app has a chart, table, KPI, report, or Genie/chat/AI surface.0 installsdatabricks-mlflow-evaluationMLflow 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.0 installs

Frequently asked questions about databricks-data-discovery

What does the databricks-data-discovery skill do?

Discover, explore, and query Databricks data via Genie — the CLI equivalent of the Genie One MCP. MUST be invoked whenever the user asks to find or locate data ('what tables are in X', 'where does X live', 'which catalog/schema has Y'), explore or profile a table, answer a natural-language question about the data, or write a SQL query. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the databricks-data-discovery skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install databricks-databricks-data-discovery` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/databricks-databricks-data-discovery/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does databricks-data-discovery work with?

databricks-data-discovery runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the databricks-data-discovery skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use databricks-data-discovery after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/databricks-databricks-data-discovery` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the databricks-data-discovery skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
