Summary
The upgrade process requires creating a new authentication profile, setting up a Python virtual environment with the version matching your cluster, and allowing the extension to read connection details from databricks.yml. Once configured, the extension enables running notebooks as workflows, uploading and executing files, and using databricks-connect for interactive step-by-step execution.

NewsAI Dev Kit 2.0: Databricks AI Tools
AI DevKit 2.0 moves Databricks' agentic coding tools from standalone installation to the official Databricks Agent Skills repository, now installed via the Databricks CLI with improved features and consolidated skills. Users must uninstall the old AI DevKit version and reinstall from the new location, with the MCP server available as a separate optional component.
TutorialsDatabricks AI Dev Kit: Install for Copilot + VS Code
The video demonstrates how to install the Databricks AI Dev Kit for Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot on Windows, guiding users through the installation script, profile configuration, and skill selection. It then shows how to enable the Databricks tools in Copilot chat and tests its functionality by generating code and executing SQL queries against a Databricks workspace.
TutorialsDatabricks AI Dev Kit Demo - Install, DataGen, SDP, Dashboard
The video demonstrates installing the Databricks AI Dev Kit on a Mac, then uses it to generate synthetic data, create serverless Spark declarative pipelines for a medallion architecture, and build a Databricks dashboard based on the generated data. It highlights how the AI Dev Kit leverages skills and an MCP server to automate these development tasks.
ReleasesIntroducing Databricks AI Dev Kit - Skills, MCP server, Builder App
The Databricks AI Dev Kit provides agent skills, an MCP server, and a Builder App to enhance AI-driven development on Databricks.

NewsAI-Driven Development
AI-driven development is a workflow where AI is the primary engine for generating, validating, and maintaining code, shifting the developer's role to directing the AI. Key concepts include the context window (the amount of text an AI model can consider), tokens (processing units for text), and tool use (AI invoking external functions).
NewsClaude Code: 5 Essentials for Data Engineering
The video introduces five essential concepts for using Claude Code in data engineering: the cloud.mmd file for core project information, skills for packaging expertise, commands for predefined prompts, sub-agents for focused tasks, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) for standardized tool interaction. These components help manage context and memory for effective AI-enhanced development.
