Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs)

Use this skill for any bundle-related request including creating, configuring, validating, deploying, running, and managing Databricks resources through DABs.

Reference Documentation

The following reference files provide detailed guidance for specific bundle tasks:

  • Bundle Structure - Bundle structure, databricks.yml configuration, resource definitions, path resolution, variables, and multi-environment targets
  • SDP Pipelines - Spark Declarative Pipeline configurations for DABs
  • SQL Alerts - SQL Alert schemas and configuration (critical - API differs from other resources)
  • Deploy and Run - Validation, deployment, running resources, monitoring logs, and troubleshooting common issues
  • Resource Permissions - Permission levels and access control for bundle resources, per-resource-type levels, grants vs permissions

When to Use This Skill

Load this skill for any request involving:

  • Creating new bundle projects or resources
  • Configuring databricks.yml or resource YAML files
  • Setting up multi-environment deployments (dev/prod targets)
  • Deploying or running bundle resources
  • Managing permissions for bundle resources
  • Troubleshooting bundle validation or deployment errors
  • Working with specific resource types (dashboards, jobs, pipelines, alerts, volumes, apps)

General Guidelines

  • Always validate after configuration changes - Use bundle validate --strict --target <target> after any change
  • Use reference documentation - Consult the appropriate reference file for detailed patterns and examples
  • Follow naming conventions - Resource files should use <name>.<resource_type>.yml format
  • Path resolution is critical - Paths differ based on file location (see Bundle Structure reference)
  • Preserve existing structure - Keep user comments and structure when editing YAML files
  • Use variables - Parameterize catalog, schema, and warehouse for multi-environment support
