# Databricks Cost Leak Hunter — Agent Skill

Hunt down Databricks cost leaks — wasted DBUs, idle clusters, oversized SQL warehouses, and untagged runaway spend — and produce a FinOps cost report your CFO can read.

A self-contained [Agent Skill](https://agentskills.io) for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. This is the full production skill: `SKILL.md` plus reference docs (cost-leak taxonomy, system-tables setup, DLT tier tradeoffs, CFO output format), helper scripts (spend-baseline SQL, rank-and-report), and a behavioral eval spec.

## Install

```bash
# one-command install (any agent)
npx skills add jeremylongshore/intentsolutionskills --skill databricks-cost-leak-hunter

# or as a Claude Code plugin, from the full marketplace (450+ plugins, 3,000+ skills)
/plugin marketplace add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins
```

Or copy this repo's files straight into your agent's skills directory (`.claude/skills/databricks-cost-leak-hunter/`, `.agents/skills/…`).

## What it does

- Baselines spend from Databricks system tables (`system.billing.usage`)
- Sweeps the cost-leak taxonomy: idle/oversized clusters, always-on SQL warehouses, untagged workloads, DLT tier mismatches, orphaned jobs
- Ranks leaks by monthly dollar impact and emits a severity-grouped FinOps report (engineer view + CFO one-pager format)
- Works with the `databricks` CLI and optionally the pack's workspace MCP server for live probes; guides the manual audit path without them
