Hi  , @michael365 

Before diving into the answer, it would help to clarify what you're referring to — the terminology can be a bit ambiguous.

If you're talking about AI/BI Genie spaces, skills from the .assistant/skills/ directory don't apply here. A Genie space is extended exclusively through its Instructions panel — text instructions, example SQL queries, and SQL functions (Trusted Assets registered in Unity Catalog). There's no concept of "skills" in a Genie space.

If you're talking about Databricks Assistant in agent mode (which does support the .assistant/skills/ directory), then yes, skills are a thing — but they are personal by default since they live under /Users/{username}/. To share them with others, the recommended approach is to move them to a shared workspace path or use a Service Principal.

So the key question is: are you working with a Genie space or with Databricks Assistant in agent mode? The answer changes the solution completely.
