Databricks playbook. Workflows for workspace bootstrap, Unity Catalog migration, Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines (formerly Delta Live Tables / DLT), Declarative Automation Bundles (formerly Databricks Asset Bundles), cluster policies/access modes, serverless SQL and jobs, Photon and cost tuning, governance audit, Mosaic AI/MLflow, and recovery via Delta time travel. Use when designing, operating, or auditing Databricks.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Databricks - Playbook **Companion rule:** [481-databricks.mdc](../../rules/481-databricks.mdc). This skill turns those patterns into end-to-end workflows. > [!NOTE] > Current Databricks names: **Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines** is the current name for Delta Live Tables (DLT). **Declarative Automation Bundles** is the current name for Databricks Asset Bundles (DABs). Existing DLT/DAB code and docs still work, but new guidance should use the current names and mention the former names for searchability. --- ## When to invoke Use when the user is: - Bootstrapping a new Databricks workspace or account - Migrating to Unity Catalog (from Hive metastore or no-governance state) - Designing or reviewing a Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipeline (formerly DLT) - Deploying jobs, notebooks, and pipelines with Declarative Automation Bundles - Setting cluster policies or rolling out Serverless / SQL Warehouses - Tuning cost (cluster sizing, Photon, spot, job compute vs all-purpose) - Governing data (Unity Catalog, tags, access control, lineage) - Recovering from a bad change (Delta time travel / `RESTORE`) - Hardening access (SCIM, SSO, service principals, OAuth tokens) --- …

How to install
mdr add d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/databricks@sha256:cab0dd5b2c6f21caThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260621.066c7a8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
