Databricks Docs

Databricks Documentation Reference

This skill provides access to the complete Databricks documentation index via llms.txt - use it as a reference resource to supplement other skills.

Role of This Skill

This is a reference skill, not an action skill. Use it to:

• Look up documentation when other skills don't cover a topic
• Get authoritative guidance on Databricks concepts and APIs
• Find detailed information to inform CLI commands and SDK usage
• Discover features and capabilities you may not know about

Always prefer using CLI/SDK for actions and load specific skills for workflows (databricks-python-sdk, databricks-spark-declarative-pipelines, etc.). Use this skill when you need reference documentation.

How to Use

Fetch the llms.txt documentation index:

URL: https://docs.databricks.com/llms.txt

Use WebFetch to retrieve this index, then:

• Search for relevant sections/links
• Fetch specific documentation pages for detailed guidance
• Apply what you learn using the appropriate CLI commands or SDK

Documentation Structure

The llms.txt file is organized by category:

• Overview & Getting Started - Basic concepts and tutorials
• Data Engineering - Lakeflow, Spark, Delta Lake, pipelines
• SQL & Analytics - Warehouses, queries, dashboards
• AI/ML - MLflow, model serving, GenAI
• Governance - Unity Catalog, permissions, security
• Developer Tools - SDKs, CLI, APIs, Terraform

Example: Complementing Other Skills

Scenario: User wants to create a Delta Live Tables pipeline

• Load databricks-spark-declarative-pipelines skill for workflow patterns
• Use this skill to fetch docs if you need clarification on specific DLT features
• Use databricks pipelines create CLI command to create the pipeline

Scenario: User asks about an unfamiliar Databricks feature

• Fetch llms.txt to find relevant documentation
• Read the specific docs to understand the feature
• Determine which skill/tools apply, then use them
