At a glance

Create charts, graphs, and map visualizations in Databricks Apps.

  • The user wants to display data as bar charts
  • SKILL.md covers Recipes, Resources, Permissions and Dependencies, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Interactive maps in Streamlit

What it does

Cookbook Visualizations is an agent skill from databricks-solutions/databricks-apps-cookbook. Create charts, graphs, and map visualizations in Databricks Apps. Use when the user wants to display data as bar charts, line charts, area charts, or interactive maps in Streamlit, Dash, or Reflex apps.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data visualization. It works with Databricks, Streamlit, SQL and pandas. The repository describes itself as: Ready-to-use code snippets for building interactive Databricks Apps.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to display data as bar charts
  • Interactive maps in Streamlit

Example prompts

  • “/cookbook-visualizations”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4018368. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.databricks.com
    • plotly.com
    • python-visualization.github.io

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cookbook Visualizations loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 138 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 138 words (~1,123 tokens).

“Create charts, graphs, and interactive maps in your Databricks App using data from Unity Catalog tables.”
