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
  • databricks-python-sdk - SDK patterns for programmatic Databricks access
  • databricks-pipelines - DLT / Lakeflow pipeline workflows
  • databricks-unity-catalog - Governance and catalog management
  • databricks-model-serving - Serving endpoints and model deployment
  • databricks-mlflow-evaluation - MLflow 3 GenAI evaluation workflows
