Databricks Core
This is your foundation for working with Databricks CLI across workspaces. It handles authentication, profile management, and basic resource exploration before you reach for the specialized skills like databricks-jobs or databricks-apps. The skill is strict about a few things: it won't auto-select profiles (you always choose), it won't let you proceed with outdated CLI versions, and it pushes you toward the AI-powered data exploration tools instead of manually navigating Unity Catalog. Worth noting that some commands use positional arguments rather than flags, which trips people up. If you're doing anything beyond basic CLI operations, you'll want one of the product-specific skills alongside this one.

Product Skills
For specific products, use dedicated skills:
- databricks-jobs - Lakeflow Jobs development and deployment
- databricks-pipelines - Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines (batch and streaming data pipelines)
- databricks-serverless - Compute choice for jobs and pipelines (serverless, performance mode, classic fallback)
- databricks-apps - Full-stack TypeScript app development and deployment
- databricks-lakebase - Lakebase Postgres Autoscaling project management
- databricks-model-serving - Model Serving endpoint management and inference
For data discovery, exploration, and query generation — finding tables, answering natural-language questions about the data, or generating SQL — use databricks-data-discovery (it asks Genie One first, then falls back to manual exploration). If it isn't installed, use the AI-tool commands below and Manual Data Exploration.
