Questions about databricks-serverless
What does the databricks-serverless skill do?
Serverless compute for Databricks jobs, Lakeflow pipelines and Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs), with STANDARD or PERFORMANCE_OPTIMIZED and classic only where serverless cannot run the workload. Use when creating, deploying, scheduling or editing a job or pipeline, or deciding its compute. Invoke BEFORE writing a job spec. For migrating existing classic workloads, use databricks-serverless-migration.
How do I install databricks-serverless?
In a terminal: npx skills add databricks/databricks-agent-skills --skill databricks-serverless. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use databricks-serverless?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is databricks-serverless safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.
Which tool is databricks-serverless for?
databricks-serverless comes from the makers of Databricks and helps your agent work with it.

Databricks Sandbox: on-demand serverless compute for running untrusted or agent-generated code and background tasks. Create/start/stop/delete sandboxes, run commands (synchronous execute_command_sync in all SDKs; streaming execute_command in the Python SDK only), and manage files through the Databricks SDK (Python, Java, Go, JavaScript). Use for Databricks Sandbox, serverless code-execution environments, or coding-agent runtimes.

Databricks Model Serving endpoint lifecycle and ops. Use when asked to: CRUD serving endpoints (CLI or MLflow Deployments client); configure traffic routing for A/B / canary deploys and zero-downtime version swaps; retrieve OpenAPI schemas; inspect logs, metrics, or permissions; manage legacy AI Gateway rate limits (not Unity Gateway); discover Foundation Model API endpoints at runtime; integrate endpoints into Databricks Apps; or stream from off-platform clients (Vercel AI SDK v6, standalone Node.js). NOT for: Unity Gateway CRUD and management (databricks-unity-gateway), training, MLflow autologging, UC registration, custom PyFunc/ResponsesAgent authoring (databricks-ml-training); no-code document / data agents incl. legacy Knowledge Assistants & Supervisor Agents (databricks-genie-agents); MLflow evaluation (databricks-mlflow-evaluation).
Train ML models on Databricks. Use for: classification/regression/deep-learning (XGBoost, scikit-learn, LightGBM, PyTorch) with Optuna, @prod/@challenger aliases, batch scoring (spark_udf for plain models, fe.score_batch for feature-store-backed), custom PyFunc, custom ResponsesAgent (LangGraph + UC Function/Vector Search); UC feature tables + FeatureLookup + point-in-time joins + Lakebase online store; declarative Feature Views (create_feature, DeltaTableSource, RollingWindow/SlidingWindow/TumblingWindow, materialize_features, streaming Kafka features). NOT for: endpoint ops (databricks-model-serving), MLflow evaluation (databricks-mlflow-evaluation).
Unity Catalog metric views: define, create, query, and manage governed business metrics in YAML. Use when building standardized KPIs, revenue metrics, order analytics, or any reusable business metrics that need consistent definitions across teams and tools.
Migrate Databricks workloads from classic compute to serverless compute. Use when migrating notebooks, jobs, pipelines, or Scala JARs (`spark_jar_task`) from classic clusters to serverless, checking if existing code is serverless-compatible, or writing new serverless-compatible code. Provides concrete fixes for the serverless Spark Connect architecture and guides the full migration. Not for classic DBR version upgrades or cluster configuration changes within classic compute.
