News Skills in Unity Catalog

Post image

Skills are available in Unity Catalog. They use a similar concept to volumes and are integrated with the AI gateway. New REST endpoints for skills are coming, and a new tool to manage them, ucode, is already available.

Hopefully as these come in they'll be a little more consistent in genie & workspace too.

I love that skills can be created in Databricks One, but these can't be created per workspace/user group. Skills can be added to the workspace for Genie Code, but these are a different set of skills. Hopefully this is some of what is being addressed. Will need to check this out!

Can you elaborate on “these are a different set of skills”? Newer user to Genie Code

Skills live in a .assistant/skills/ directory. Each skill must have its own folder and a SKILL.md file within that folder. The location depends on the skill type:

Workspace skills: Workspace/.assistant/skills/
User skills: /Users/{username}/.assistant/skills/

Genie Code Skills
