What it does
Databricks Apps Python is an agent skill from databricks/databricks-agent-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Python backend for Databricks Apps — FastAPI (default), Flask, Dash, Streamlit, Gradio, Reflex. Default for a new Databricks App is databricks-apps (AppKit — Node/TypeScript/React) — reach for it first. Use this skill only when the user asks for a Python backend, extends an existing Python app, or the team is Python-only. Covers OAuth auth, app resources, SQL warehouse and Lakebase connectivity, foundation-model / Vector Search / model-serving APIs (via databricks-python-sdk), and deployment via CLI or DABs.
Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 17 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `examples/fm-minimal-chat.py` and `examples/fm-parallel-calls.py`). Compatibility notes: Requires databricks CLI (= v1.0.0)
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development, Model hubs and datasets and Vector databases. It works with Databricks, Python, FastAPI and Streamlit. The repository describes itself as: Databricks AI Tools: skills and plugins for building on Databricks with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and other AI coding agents.
When your agent uses it
- Asks for a Python backend
- Extends an existing Python app
- The team is Python-only
Example prompts
- “/databricks-apps-python”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
- A credential in DATABRICKS_CLIENT_SECRET
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires databricks CLI (>= v1.0.0)
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Determine the task type
- Follow the instructions in the relevant guide.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f4fcec5. 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
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
databricks
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
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
DATABRICKS_CLIENT_SECRET
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Requires databricks CLI (>= v1.0.0)
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Databricks Apps Python loads about 3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 978 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 978 words (~3,020 tokens).
