What it does

Databricks Unstructured PDF Generation is an agent skill from databricks/databricks-agent-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Build RAG / unstructured-document evaluation datasets and demo documents (e.g. for Knowledge Assistant) on Databricks: generate synthetic PDFs locally, upload to Unity Catalog volumes, and pair each document with test questions for retrieval evaluation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/pdf_generator.py`). Compatibility notes: Requires databricks CLI (= v1.0.0)

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PDF, Quizzes and assessments and Retrieval-augmented generation. 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 PDF
  • Tasks that involve Quizzes and assessments
  • Tasks that involve Retrieval-augmented generation

Example prompts

  • “/databricks-unstructured-pdf-generation”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Write HTML Files
  2. Convert to PDF
  3. Upload to Volume
  4. Generate Test Questions

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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • databricks
    • uv
    • python
    • playwright

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Unstructured PDF Generation loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 591 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 591 words (~1,656 tokens).

“Workflow for producing synthetic PDF documents + paired test questions as a Unity Catalog-resident dataset for Demos and RAG / unstructured-document retrieval evaluation on Databricks. The PDF-generation step uses standard local HTML → PDF tooling; the Databricks-specific value is the…”
