Databricks Data Discovery

A Databricks data-discovery workflow that routes natural-language data questions and SQL generation through Genie.

Editorial review checked 2026-10-29 against this instruction snapshot. Supporting scripts and runtime behavior remain outside this editorial review.

What it does

The source distinguishes questions about governed data from local file editing or other coding work. It uses a session label for related questions and can request the SQL behind an answer. A manual exploration path is described for cases where the preferred capability is genuinely unavailable.

Best for

Finding relevant tables or answering a bounded analytical question in an already authorized Databricks workspace.

Tradeoffs and requirements

Generated SQL and natural-language answers still need validation. Workspace permissions define the accessible data, and a missing result may reflect access limits rather than absence. Session reuse should not mix unrelated sensitive contexts or imply broader authorization.

Requires databricks CLI >= v1.9.0 for `databricks genie ask` (older CLIs fall back to the deprecated `databricks experimental genie ask` alias)

Install from the source

Inspect the pinned source snapshot and its supporting files first. The command selects this skill through the open-source skills CLI. Node.js and agent-specific setup may be required. Installation can download code; this catalog never runs it.

Suggested workflow

Select the intended profile and formulate a precise data question with time range and metric definitions. Preserve the generated query and inspect the referenced tables before relying on its result.

How to judge the result

Check filters, joins, units and aggregation grain against a known example. Reconcile important totals independently, state inaccessible or ambiguous data, and avoid treating a fluent answer as proof that the business definition or underlying query is correct.
