Unity Gateway Skills (formerly Unity Catalog Skills)

Agent skills that follow the SKILL.md specification, registered once as Unity Catalog securables (catalog.schema.skill) and governed by Unity Gateway with the same permissions, tags and audit as tables, so coding agents download published skills or load them live over MCP. In Beta since August 28, 2026, when Databricks announced it as Unity Catalog Skills; a workspace admin turns on Unity Gateway skills in Genie from the Previews page. Genie One can publish a skill to the team since October 5, 2026 (Beta, also behind the Enhanced Unity AI Gateway account preview), a Skills REST API with CLI and SDK support followed in Beta on October 12, 2026, and since October 30, 2026 audit logs (aiGatewaySkills service) and the usage dashboard's Skills tab track skill use.
