Databricks Docs

Use when the user asks a Databricks product question (Apps, DABs, Jobs, Lakebase, Model Serving, Pipelines, Unity Catalog, SQL Warehouses, MLflow, serverless, secrets, workflows) that databricks-core's CLI cheatsheet does not answer. Resolves a canonical URL from references/docs-index.md and fetches it with the host agent's WebFetch tool.

Databricks Docs Skill

Live docs.databricks.com lookups for Databricks product questions.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks about a Databricks product surface and the question is not about a CLI invocation. Examples:

"How do I configure a serverless model serving endpoint?"
"What's the DAB schema for a job?"
"How does Lakebase Postgres autoscaling work?"
"How do I grant a user access to a Unity Catalog schema?"

Do NOT use this skill when the user asks about CLI commands, profile management, auth, or data exploration. Those are owned by databricks-core.

How to Use

Read references/docs-index.md to find the canonical entry URL for the topic the user is asking about.
Use the host agent's WebFetch tool to fetch the entry URL with a focused prompt describing the user's question.
If the answer is not on the entry page, follow in-page links via additional WebFetch calls.

URL Pattern

Default to docs.databricks.com/aws/en/.... If the user has specified Azure or GCP, rewrite the aws segment to azure or gcp before fetching. The page structure and content are the same across all three.

Limits

Read-only. No auth, no MCP, no Databricks CLI required.
Do not synthesize answers from training-data knowledge of Databricks. Always fetch.
If the public docs site is unreachable (network failure, DNS failure), surface that to the user; do not invent an answer.

Cross-Reference

For CLI commands, profile management, authentication, and data exploration, use the databricks-core skill. The two skills are complementary; this one handles "what" and "how" questions about Databricks product surfaces, while databricks-core handles "run this CLI command" questions.
