What is databricks-ads-session?

A guided design conversation for planning systems on Azure Databricks, a Microsoft platform for data processing, analytics, and machine learning. It gathers requirements and produces a Databricks-focused architecture diagram.

Use it to plan migrations, data warehouses, IoT systems, streaming pipelines, machine-learning projects, or generative-AI applications on Azure Databricks.

It helps turn an unclear data or AI project into a documented solution covering areas such as data engineering, analytics, machine learning, streaming, and governance.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00136	$0.02341
Opus 5.5	$0.00054	$0.00936
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00027	$0.00468
Haiku 4.5	$0.00014	$0.00234

Security

Grade A, and why

databricks-ads-session scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (databricks-ads-session/scripts/generate_architecture.py, scripts/generate_architecture.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Azure Databricks ADS Session

This skill provides domain-specific knowledge for Azure Databricks to be used within an Architecture Design Session. The ADS methodology (persona, pacing, session structure, decision narration, trade-off framework, self-critique) is defined in the runtime system prompt — this skill supplies the Databricks-specific questions, patterns, components, and references that the methodology operates on.

Domain: Azure Databricks

This skill covers the Azure Databricks data platform including:

Data Engineering: LakeFlow Connect, LakeFlow Jobs, LakeFlow Spark Declarative Pipelines (DLT), Auto Loader, Structured Streaming, Apache Flink, Delta Lake
Data Warehousing: SQL Warehouse (Serverless/Pro/Classic), Lakehouse Federation, dbt integration, materialized views
AI/ML: Mosaic AI (Model Serving, Feature Store, AI Gateway), MLflow 3.0, serverless GPU compute, distributed training
GenAI: Mosaic AI Agent Framework, Agent Bricks, Vector Search, MCP Servers, AI Gateway with guardrails
Governance: Unity Catalog, Delta Sharing, ABAC, column-level masking, data lineage, Compatibility Mode
Infrastructure: Serverless Workspace, Classic VNet-injected workspace, ADLS Gen2, Azure Key Vault, Microsoft Entra ID

Phase-Specific Databricks Questions

Phase 1: Context Discovery

Ask about:

Business problem or opportunity driving this initiative
Industry and regulatory context
Greenfield project vs. migration from existing system
Key stakeholders and decision-makers
Timeline and budget constraints
Success criteria (what does "done" look like?)
KPIs, latency targets, and cost envelope

Adapt: If user mentions migration, read references/migration-patterns.md. If user names a specific industry, read references/industry-templates.md for starter context.

Phase 2: Current Landscape

Ask about:

Data sources (databases, APIs, files, streams, SaaS platforms)
Current data platform (if migrating: Hadoop, Snowflake, on-prem SQL, etc.)
Data volumes and growth rate
Real-time vs. batch requirements
Data governance and cataloging needs (Unity Catalog considerations)
Sensitive data classification (PII, PHI, financial)
Unstructured data (documents, PDFs, images, audio) for AI processing

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
