+## Skills
+
+Databricks skills are distributed via the Databricks CLI from [`databricks/databricks-agent-skills`](https://github.com/databricks/databricks-agent-skills) — install them directly, no clone of this repo required:
+
+```bash
+# All stable skills
+databricks aitools install
+
+# All stable + experimental skills
+databricks aitools install --experimental
+
+# One specific skill (stable or experimental)
+databricks aitools install <name> [--experimental]
+```
+
+Requires **Databricks CLI v1.0.0+**. The CLI detects which coding agents are installed (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, Antigravity) and writes skills into the right per-agent directory. For Genie Code workflows, the same command installs into the user's workspace assistant directory.

+File issues and PRs against [`databricks/databricks-agent-skills`](https://github.com/databricks/databricks-agent-skills). The `databricks-skills/` directory in this repo contains tombstone redirects so old links still resolve; see [`databricks-skills/README.md`](databricks-skills/README.md) for the per-skill mapping.

 ## Quick Start
 
 ### Prerequisites
 
 - [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) - Python package manager
-- [Databricks CLI](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/cli/) - Command line interface for Databricks
+- [Databricks CLI](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/cli/) **v1.0.0+** — skills install via `databricks aitools install`, which requires v1.0.0 or newer
 - AI coding environment (one or more):
   - [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)
   - [Cursor](https://cursor.com)

-## Genie Code Skills
-
-Install skills into `./.claude/skills` (relative to the directory where you run the script), then upload them to your workspace at `/Workspace/Users/<you>/.assistant/skills` so Genie Code can use them in the UI. Requires the [Databricks CLI](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/cli/) authenticated for your workspace.
-
-**Always run from the project directory** where you want `.claude/skills` created (for example your repo root or `ai-dev-kit`).
-
-**From this repo (recommended if you have a clone):**
-
-```bash
-# Databricks skills from this checkout + upload (DEFAULT CLI profile)
-./databricks-skills/install_skills.sh --local --install-to-genie
-
-# Download all skills from GitHub, then upload
-./databricks-skills/install_skills.sh --install-to-genie
-
-# Explicit Databricks CLI profile
-./databricks-skills/install_skills.sh --install-to-genie --profile YOUR_PROFILE
-```
-
-**Without cloning** (run from the directory that should contain `.claude/skills`):
-
-```bash
-curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/databricks-solutions/ai-dev-kit/main/databricks-skills/install_skills.sh | bash -s -- --install-to-genie
-```
-
-Combine `--profile`, `--local`, specific skill names, `--mlflow-version`, etc. as needed; see `./databricks-skills/install_skills.sh --help` or [databricks-skills/README.md](databricks-skills/README.md).
-
-**From a Databricks notebook** (no local terminal needed):
-
-Import [`databricks-skills/install_genie_code_skills.py`](databricks-skills/install_genie_code_skills.py) into your workspace as a notebook and run it. It downloads skills from GitHub and uploads them to your workspace using the Databricks SDK. This works on any compute, including serverless.
-
-**Skill modification or Custom Skill**
-
-After the script successfully installs the skills to your workspace, you may find the skills under `/Workspace/Users/<your_user_name>/.assistant/skills`.
-
-This directory is customizable if you wish to only use certain skills or even create custom skills that are related to your organization to make Genie Code even better.  You can modify/remove existing skills or create new skills folders that Genie Code will automatically use in any session.
