Databricks Cluster Forensics

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Databricks Cluster Forensics skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Databricks Cluster Forensics is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.

Diagnose broken or unexplained Databricks compute — slow cold starts, failed cluster launches, Photon paying its premium without the speedup, DBR-upgrade landmines, and spot-interruption shuffle aborts — by correlating a cluster's live event stream across API surfaces. Use when a Databricks cluster won't start, died mid-run, is randomly slow to start, when planning a Databricks Runtime upgrade, or when a job keeps failing on spot loss. Trigger with "databricks cluster won't start", "cluster failed", "why is my cluster slow", "NPIP_TUNNEL_SETUP_FAILURE", "databricks runtime upgrade", "photon not helping".

How Databricks Cluster Forensics fits the catalog

Databricks Cluster Forensics sits in the General category under the general-misc sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.

Is Databricks Cluster Forensics safe to install?

A free static scan against the OWASP Agentic Skills Top 10 found no risk patterns in Databricks Cluster Forensics’s SKILL.md — no data-exfiltration, prompt-injection, or unexpected-execution signatures. The full security scan is below.

Installing & verifying

Installing Databricks Cluster Forensics writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/databricks-cluster-forensics/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — databricks-cluster-forensics should appear by name.

What Databricks Cluster Forensics needs to run

External services: The SKILL.md references pricing, quota, or rate limits — it likely calls a paid or rate-limited API. Check the source before wiring it into unattended automation.
Prerequisites: Ships its own installation / prerequisites section — it isn’t purely self-contained; read that first.
Worked code: 3 copy-paste code blocks in the body.
Depth: ~1,548 words, substantial — top of the catalog distribution.

When to reach for it

There are 10 related skills in General — a two-minute scan of the alternatives usually confirms whether Databricks Cluster Forensics is the right pick.

These notes are auto-generated from features detected in the SKILL.md file and from this catalog's structure — they aren't part of the source repository.

From the source SKILL.md

The operational SRE spine of the pack — what a Databricks engineer reaches for at 2 AM when the compute layer is broken or unexplained. It correlates a cluster's live event stream across API surfaces to name the failure with its actual error code and its version-specific mitigation, not "network problem, try again".

What this skill does

Databricks Cluster Forensics is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/databricks-cluster-forensics/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when a Databricks cluster won't start, died mid-run, is randomly slow to start, when planning a Databricks Runtime upgrade, or when a job keeps failing on spot loss. Trigger with "databricks cluster won't start", "cluster failed", "why is my cluster slow", "NPIP_TUNNEL_SETUP_FAILURE", "databricks runtime upgrade", "photon not helping".

Who uses this skill

The Databricks Cluster Forensics Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 184,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
