Unity Catalog Skills
Governed, reusable instructions that an agent can load, registered in Unity Catalog.
Why it is worth watching
Skills as a governed object rather than a prompt pasted into a notebook.
What Beta promises
Open to most customers but not for production: support runs through engineering, and the shape of it can still move. On by default on Premium, off on Enterprise.
| Who can use it | Most customers |
|---|---|
| Production use | No |
| Support | Engineering only |
| On by default | Premium yes, Enterprise no |
The definitions are Databricks' own, on its release types page. The label on this page is the one the feature's documentation states, last checked on 14 Sept 2026.
Where to read more
