Introduce a top-level `databricks quickstart` command that prints a short introduction to the CLI: authentication, profile selection, building with Databricks Asset Bundles, and where to go next. It prints a human-friendly guide by default and a denser, agent-oriented version when run in a non-interactive terminal (for example, when invoked by a coding agent). The detection uses cmdio.IsPromptSupported and is intentionally simple for now, leaving room for smarter agent detection later. Co-authored-by: Isaac

Why
Someone running the Databricks CLI for the first time has no built-in starting point. They have to go find docs, work out auth and profiles, and guess at how to actually build something.
databricks quickstartgives them a short, opinionated introduction right in the terminal.It serves coding agents too: an agent with no Databricks skill loaded can run
databricks quickstartto orient itself (auth, profiles, building with Asset Bundles) before attempting work.Changes
