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 and inform your use of MCP tools.

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 how you use MCP tools

• Discover features and capabilities you may not know about

Always prefer using MCP tools for actions (execute_sql, create_or_update_pipeline, etc.) 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 MCP tools

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 create_or_update_pipeline MCP tool to actually 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
