README

Databricks Agentic Engineering Rails

**Get a coding agent set up on your own laptop — governed through Unity AI Gateway, with permission tiers you have watched refuse something — in about thirty minutes.**

![Ten navy ceramic blocks lie scattered at random angles on an oat surface to the left of a pair of glossy lava-red rails; between the rails the same blocks form a single evenly spaced procession climbing to a stack of four smoked-glass slabs on brushed posts](docs/assets/img/hero-on-rails.jpg)

You have a laptop, a harness you already like, and a Databricks workspace. This repository gets you from that to a session whose model spend is attributable, whose tools are governed by Unity Catalog, and which will not force-push to a shared branch because a file it read told it to.

**It is a guide, not a framework.** Everything that governs a session here is either a Databricks tool (`ug`, the CLI) or a configuration file your harness already reads. There is nothing to install into your own project, no wrapper to keep in step with five upstreams, and no code of ours between you and your harness. That is a deliberate reversal of an earlier design, recorded in [decision 0006](docs/DECISIONS/0006-guidance-over-machinery.md).

git clone https://github.com/althrussell/databricks-agentic-engineering-rails
cd databricks-agentic-engineering-rails
./scripts/doctor.sh                       # is this laptop ready

Then open your harness's setup page. That is the whole path.
