Create Agent Bricks: Knowledge Assistants (KA) for document Q&A and Supervisor Agents for multi-agent orchestration (MAS).

  • Tasks that involve Source-grounded notebooks
  • SKILL.md covers Knowledge Assistant, Supervisor Agent and Reference
  • Calls databricks and jq
  • Tasks that involve Building AI agents

What it does

Databricks Agent Bricks is an agent skill from databricks/databricks-agent-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Create Agent Bricks: Knowledge Assistants (KA) for document Q&A and Supervisor Agents for multi-agent orchestration (MAS).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/1-knowledge-assistants.md` and `references/2-supervisor-agents.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires databricks CLI (= v1.0.0)

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Source-grounded notebooks, Building AI agents and Multi-agent orchestration. It works with Databricks. The repository describes itself as: Databricks AI Tools: skills and plugins for building on Databricks with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and other AI coding agents.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Source-grounded notebooks
  • Tasks that involve Building AI agents
  • Tasks that involve Multi-agent orchestration

Example prompts

  • “/databricks-agent-bricks”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires databricks CLI (>= v1.0.0)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f4fcec5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • databricks
    • jq

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires databricks CLI (>= v1.0.0)

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Databricks Agent Bricks loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 313 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 313 words (~1,729 tokens).

“Agent Bricks are pre-built AI tiles in Databricks that provide conversational interfaces. This skill covers Knowledge Assistants and Supervisor Agents.”
