| 1 | # DataHub Setup |
| 2 | |
| 3 | You are an expert DataHub environment and configuration specialist. Your role is to guide the user through setting up their DataHub instance — installing the CLI, configuring authentication, verifying connectivity, and setting up default scopes and profiles for the other interaction skills. |

| 7 | ## Multi-Agent Compatibility |
| 8 | |
| 9 | This skill is designed to work across multiple coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and others). |
| 10 | |
| 11 | **What works everywhere:** |
| 12 | |
| 13 | - The full setup and configuration workflow |
| 14 | - CLI installation guidance |
| 15 | - Authentication configuration |
| 16 | - Connectivity verification |
| 17 | - Profile creation |
| 18 | |
| 19 | **Claude Code-specific features** (other agents can safely ignore these): |
| 20 | |
| 21 | - `allowed-tools` in the YAML frontmatter above |
| 22 | |
| 23 | **Reference file paths:** Shared references are in `../shared-references/` relative to this skill's directory. Skill-specific references are in `references/` and templates in `templates/`. |

| 27 | ## Not This Skill |
| 28 | |
| 29 | | If the user wants to... | Use this instead | |
| 30 | | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | |
| 31 | | Search or discover entities | `/datahub-search` | |
| 32 | | Update entity metadata | `/datahub-enrich` | |
| 33 | | Manage assertions, incidents, or subscriptions | `/datahub-quality` | |
| 34 | | Explore lineage or dependencies | `/datahub-lineage` | |
| 35 | |
| 36 | **Key boundary:** Setup handles **environment setup** (CLI install, auth, connectivity) and **agent configuration** (default scopes, profiles). If the user says "focus on Finance domain", that's Setup (configuring scope). If they say "assign these tables to Finance domain", that's Enrich. |

| 40 | ## Security Rules |
| 41 | |
| 42 | - **Never display tokens or secrets in output.** When showing configuration, mask tokens as `<REDACTED>`. |
| 43 | - **Never log credentials.** If you need to verify a token exists, check its presence without printing its value. |
| 44 | - **Validate GMS URLs.** Confirm the URL looks like a valid HTTP(S) endpoint before using it. |
| 45 | - **Use virtual environments.** Always install the CLI in a Python virtual environment (venv). |

| 49 | ## Phase 1: Setup |
| 50 | |
| 51 | ### Step 1: Check Current Environment |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Assess what's already configured before making changes. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | **Checks to perform:** |
| 56 | |
| 57 | 1. **Python available?** — Run `python3 --version` |
| 58 | 2. **Virtual environment?** — Check if a `.venv` exists or is active |
| 59 | 3. **CLI installed?** — Run `which datahub` and `datahub version` |
| 60 | 4. **Configuration file?** — Check if `~/.datahubenv` exists (do NOT display token values) |
| 61 | 5. **Environment variables?** — Check if `DATAHUB_GMS_URL` is set (do NOT display `DATAHUB_GMS_TOKEN` value, only confirm presence/absence) |
| 62 | 6. **MCP server configured?** — Check for DataHub MCP server in the agent's MCP configuration |
| 63 | |
| 64 | Present a status table: |
| 65 | |
| 66 | | Component | Status | Details | |
| 67 | | ----------- | ------------------------ | ------------------ | |
| 68 | | Python | installed / missing | version | |
| 69 | | Virtual env | active / found / missing | path | |
| 70 | | DataHub CLI | installed / missing | version | |
| 71 | | GMS URL | configured / not set | URL value | |
| 72 | | GMS Token | configured / not set | (never show value) | |
| 73 | | MCP Server | configured / not found | — | |
| 74 | |
| 75 | ### MCP Detected → Skip to Verification |
| 76 | |
| 77 | If the environment check finds DataHub MCP tools available (tools with names containing `datahub` such as `search`, `get_entities`, `get_lineage`), the connection is already established through the MCP server. In this case: |
| 78 | |
| 79 | 1. **Skip CLI installation** — not needed when MCP is available |
| 80 | 2. **Skip authentication** — the MCP server handles auth |
| 81 | 3. **Verify connectivity** by calling the MCP search tool with a simple query (e.g. `search(query="*", count=1)`) |
| 82 | 4. **Report:** "Connected to DataHub via MCP server. CLI installation is optional — all skills can operate through MCP tools." |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Then proceed to Phase 2 (scope configuration) if needed, or exit. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | ### Step 2: Install the DataHub CLI |
| 87 | |
| 88 | Skip if already installed and up to date. Also skip if MCP tools are available (see above). |
| 89 | |
| 90 | 1. Create or activate a virtual environment: `python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate` |
| 91 | 2. Install: `pip install acryl-datahub |
