SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures all your Databricks assets adhere to enterprise-wide naming conventions, use standardized comment formats, and are tagged correctly for governance and cost allocation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Naming Conventions: Enforces snake_case, dim_/fact_ prefixes, and approved abbreviations for tables, columns, and functions.
  • Comment Standards: Mandates dual-purpose comments for tables and columns, and structured comments for TVFs and Metric Views.
  • Tagging: Manages workflow tags (team, cost_center), Unity Catalog governed tags (data_owner, data_classification), and PII classification (class.*). It intelligently scans context/ for customer standards or derives smart defaults.
  • Use Case: When creating a new Gold table, this Skill automatically applies the correct dim_ or fact_ prefix, adds a detailed dual-purpose comment, and assigns mandatory tags like team, cost_center, and data_classification based on your project's configuration or sensible defaults.

Quick Start

Ensure all new tables follow the defined naming, comment, and tagging standards.

How do I standardize table and column comments in Databricks for governance?

Standardizing table and column comments in Databricks requires mandating dual-purpose comment formats for tables and columns, and structured comments for TVFs and metric views. This provides clear documentation for enterprise data governance.

Can I automatically generate cost allocation and workflow tags for Databricks tables?

Yes, you can automatically generate cost allocation and workflow tags for Databricks tables. By scanning project context for customer standards or deriving smart defaults, the system assigns mandatory tags like team and cost_center.

Does this tagging and naming convention approach work with Unity Catalog governed tags?
