At a glance

Previews, provisions, or diagnoses a uv-managed local Python .venv with databricks environments setup-local.

  • Works in 6 steps: Check CLI and authentication → Confirm the project directory → Select one target → …
  • The user wants to set up
  • Calls databricks and uv; needs TASK_KEY
  • Fix one for Databricks Connect

What it does

Databricks Setup Local is an agent skill from databricks/databricks-agent-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Previews, provisions, or diagnoses a uv-managed local Python .venv with databricks environments setup-local. Use when the user wants to set up or fix one for Databricks Connect, cluster or serverless compute, --job-task, or a bundle target, or when setup-local fails.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/examples.md` and `references/json-output.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires databricks CLI (= v1.16.0) and uv

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Serverless. It works with Databricks and Python. 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

  • The user wants to set up
  • Fix one for Databricks Connect
  • Serverless compute
  • A bundle target

Example prompts

  • “/databricks-setup-local”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in TASK_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires databricks CLI (>= v1.16.0) and uv

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check CLI and authentication
  2. Confirm the project directory
  3. Select one target
  4. Preview
  5. Obtain approval and apply
  6. Handle the result

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • databricks
    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • TASK_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Requires databricks CLI (>= v1.16.0) and uv

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Databricks Setup Local loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 603 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

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 603 words (~1,570 tokens).

“REQUIRED FIRST: Use databricks-core for CLI, authentication, and profile selection. Never use a default profile. For an existing environment, use databricks-execution-compute.”
