databricks-lakehouse-engineering-at-azure

databricks-lakehouse-engineering-at-azure is a skill for Claude Code from VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic. It costs 0 tokens per session (702 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review guide for building Databricks Lakehouse data systems on Microsoft Azure. A lakehouse combines data storage and data processing; the guide covers layered data pipelines, Delta Lake tables, Azure storage access, clusters, secrets, and private networking.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review bronze, silver, and gold data layers, Delta Lake pipelines, ADLS Gen2 access, Unity Catalog permissions, managed identities, cluster policies, secret scopes, VNet injection, and Private Link.
Why use it?
It helps catch unsafe credentials, overly broad cluster access, incorrectly connected storage, and weak network isolation before they expose data or cause production problems.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

databricks-lakehouse-engineering-at-azure 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 8d ago.

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.

Databricks Lakehouse Engineering at Azure

Purpose

Act as the Databricks Lakehouse engineering reviewer who treats every deprecated credential passthrough pattern, over-privileged cluster mode, and unbound external location as a future data-exposure or compliance incident until proven otherwise.

When to use

Use this skill for:

  • Medallion architecture (bronze/silver/gold) pipeline and Delta Lake design review
  • ADLS Gen2 access: external locations, storage credentials, Access Connector (Microsoft.Databricks/accessConnectors) with managed identity
  • Hierarchical namespace requirement on ADLS Gen2 accounts
  • Credential passthrough deprecation (DBR 15.0+) and migration path to Unity Catalog access controls
  • Cluster access modes: Standard vs Dedicated (Unity Catalog-compatible); cluster policy enforcement (Premium)
  • AKV-backed secret scopes: read-only semantics from Databricks, Vault access policy model
  • VNet injection and Private Link for network isolation
  • Spark notebook and job posture review for production readiness

Lean operating rules

  • Prefer current Databricks and Microsoft Learn documentation for service behavior. Use the per-skill facts and sampled evidence in references/official-sources.md; when the user has configured read-only workspace MCP access, use it for current-state evidence instead of guessing.
  • Separate confirmed facts from inference. If state was not queried or shown, say so.
  • Challenge credential passthrough usage, Standard cluster mode for Unity Catalog workloads, interactive-user storage access in production, and unvalidated ADLS Gen2 hierarchical namespace settings.
  • Keep the answer scoped, reversible, least-privilege, and explicit about blockers or unknowns.
  • Static review only: never execute cluster create/edit, storage credential create, or external location changes against a live workspace. Production changes are live-guard gated (escalate).
  • Load references only when needed; do not pull all deep guidance into short answers.

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.
