databricks-cost-leak-hunter
Hunt down Databricks cost leaks — wasted DBUs, idle clusters, oversized SQL warehouses, and untagged runaway spend — and produce a FinOps cost report. Use when a user asks why their Databricks bill is high, wants to find cost leaks / wasted DBUs / idle clusters, or needs a FinOps cost report. Trigger with "databricks cost", "why is my databricks bill", "find wasted spend", "cost leak".

# Databricks Cost Leak Hunter
Audits a Databricks workspace for real-dollar cost leaks — idle compute, jobs on
the wrong SKU, overprovisioned clusters, and the Photon premium paid without the
speedup — then emits a CFO-grokkable, dollar-ranked FinOps remediation report.
## Overview
This skill finds where Databricks money is leaking and how much, in dollars, per
month. Confirmed-spend figures come from the customer's own `system.billing.usage`
joined to `system.billing.list_prices` — never an estimate. Two of the four
categories (overprovisioning, Photon premium) are explicitly modeled/at-risk
amounts, labeled as such so a CFO never confuses them with recoverable spend. The
skill surfaces four named leak categories, ranks them by monthly dollar impact, and
