Enterprise-wide standards for Databricks asset naming, SQL comments, and cost/governance tagging.

Essential Rules (Retain in Working Memory)

After reading this skill, retain these 5 rules and release the full content:

1. snake_case everywhere — all object names: tables, columns, functions, schemas
2. dim_/fact_ prefixes — Gold tables prefixed by entity type; Bronze/Silver by layer
3. Dual-purpose COMMENT pattern — [Definition]. Business: [context]. Technical: [details].
4. Mandatory tags — layer, domain, PII (via class.* governed tags) on every table; team, cost_center, environment on every workflow
5. Budget policy tag — all serverless resources must use approved budget policies
