This reference skill gives the assistant access to the complete Databricks documentation directory via https://docs.databricks.com/llms.txt. It covers sections for Delta Lake and Unity Catalog governance alongside developer tooling.
The skill handles lookups rather than actions. The assistant downloads the index file, navigates directly to the relevant documentation page, and applies the extracted concepts when drafting terminal commands or Python scripts.
Your environment needs databricks CLI version 1.0.0 or higher to run associated operations. For executing deployment tasks, Databricks recommends combining this reference with dedicated workflow skills such as databricks-python-sdk.

- look up Databricks REST API and SDK configuration options

- verify model serving settings for MLflow deployments
