- AirflowAstronomerQueries, manages, and troubleshoots Apache Airflow using the `af` CLI. Use when working with anything related to Airflow - a DAG, a DAG run, a task log, an import or parse error, a broken DAG, or any Airflow operation.
- Airflow AdapterAstronomerAirflow adapter pattern for v2/v3 API compatibility. Use when working with adapters, version detection, or adding new API methods that need to work across Airflow 2.x and 3.x.
- Airflow HitlAstronomerBuilds human-in-the-loop (HITL) Airflow workflows - approval gates, form input, and human-driven branching. Use when a DAG needs a human in the loop - an approval or reject step, sign-off before a task runs, a decision or approval UI, branching on a human choice, or collecting form input mid-run; also on mentions of ApprovalOperator, HITLOperator, HITLBranchOperator, HITLEntryOperator, or…
- Airflow PluginsAstronomerBuilds Airflow 3.1+ plugins that embed FastAPI apps, custom UI pages, React components, middleware, macros, and operator links directly into the Airflow UI. Use when building anything custom inside Airflow 3.1+ that involves Python and a browser-facing interface - creating an Airflow plugin, adding a custom UI page or nav entry, building FastAPI-backed endpoints inside Airflow, serving static…
- Airflow State StoreAstronomerPersists task and asset state across retries and DAG runs using Airflow 3.3's AIP-103 key/value stores (`task_state_store`, `asset_state_store`) and the crash-safe `ResumableJobMixin`. Use when the user asks about task state store, checkpointing in tasks, persisting state across retries, job IDs surviving worker crashes, watermarks, asset metadata, resumable tasks, crash-safe operators, or…
- Analyzing DataAstronomerQueries the data warehouse with SQL and answers business questions about data. Use when answering anything that needs warehouse data - counts, metrics, trends, aggregations, joins across tables, data lookups, or ad-hoc SQL analysis (for example "who uses X", "how many Y", "show me Z", "find customers", "what is the count").
- Annotating Task LineageAstronomerAnnotate Airflow tasks with data lineage using inlets and outlets. Use when the user wants to add lineage metadata to tasks, specify input/output datasets, or enable lineage tracking for operators without built-in OpenLineage extraction.
- Authoring DagsAstronomerWorkflow and best practices for writing Apache Airflow DAGs. Use when creating a new DAG, write pipeline code, handling questions about DAG patterns and conventions or extending an existing DAG with a follow-up/downstream task. ANY request shaped like 'add a DAG named X', 'write a pipeline', 'add a task that runs after Y', or 'extend the DAG'.
- Authoring Go Sdk TasksAstronomerWrites Airflow task logic in Go using the Airflow Go SDK. Use when the user wants to implement Airflow tasks in Go, asks about `BundleProvider`/`RegisterDags`, the `bundlev1` Registry/Dag interfaces, registering Go tasks (`AddTask`/`AddTaskWithName`), dependency injection by parameter type (`context.Context`, `sdk.TIRunContext`, `*slog.Logger`, `sdk.Client`), or reading connections/variables/XCom…
- Authoring Java Sdk TasksAstronomerWrites Airflow task logic in Java, Kotlin, or any JVM language using the Airflow Java SDK. Use when the user wants to implement Airflow tasks in Java/JVM, asks about `@Builder.Dag`/`@Builder.Task`/`@Builder.XCom`, the `Task`/`BundleBuilder` interfaces, reading connections/variables/XComs from Java, the JSON-to-Java type mapping, or logging from Java tasks.
- Authoring Language Sdk TasksAstronomerThe language-neutral foundation for Airflow language SDKs — implement task logic in a non-Python language while the DAG stays in Python. Use when the user wants to run an Airflow task in another language (Java, Kotlin, Go, or other JVM/native languages), asks how the Python `@task.stub` pairs with native task code, how task/DAG IDs must match across the two sides, how data passes via XCom as…
- BlueprintAstronomerDefine reusable Airflow task group templates with Pydantic validation and compose DAGs from YAML. Use when creating blueprint templates, composing DAGs from YAML, declaring shared variables or per-environment profiles, validating configurations, sharing templates as an installable package, or enabling no-code DAG authoring for non-engineers.
- Checking FreshnessAstronomerQuick data freshness check. Use when the user asks if data is up to date, when a table was last updated, if data is stale, or needs to verify data currency before using it.
- Configuring Airflow Language SdksAstronomerConfigures Airflow to run language SDK tasks (Java, Go, and future native SDKs) — register a coordinator, map a queue to it, ensure the runtime/artifact on workers, and tune coordinator options. Use when the user wants Airflow to route a queue to a native-language coordinator, asks about the `[sdk]` `coordinators`/`queue_to_coordinator` settings, `AIRFLOW__SDK__COORDINATORS`, `jars_root`…
- Cosmos Dbt CoreAstronomerTurns a dbt Core project into an Airflow DAG/TaskGroup using Astronomer Cosmos. Use turning a dbt Core project into an Airflow DAG or TaskGroup with Astronomer Cosmos. Before implementing, verify dbt engine, warehouse, Airflow version, execution environment, DAG vs TaskGroup, and manifest availability.
- Cosmos Dbt FusionAstronomerRun a dbt Fusion project with Astronomer Cosmos. Use when running a dbt Fusion project with Astronomer Cosmos (Cosmos 1.11+, ExecutionMode.LOCAL on Snowflake/Databricks). Before implementing, verify dbt engine is Fusion (not Core), the warehouse is supported, and local execution is acceptable. Does not cover dbt Core.
- Creating Openlineage ExtractorsAstronomerCreate custom OpenLineage extractors for Airflow operators. Use when the user needs lineage from unsupported or third-party operators, wants column-level lineage, or needs complex extraction logic beyond what inlets/outlets provide.
- Dag FactoryAstronomerAuthors Apache Airflow DAGs declaratively from dag-factory YAML configs. Use when building DAGs declaratively from YAML via dag-factory; creating/editing dag-factory templates/YAML configs,reating/editing dag-factory YAML configs, defaults, dynamic tasks, datasets, or callbacks; or validating dag-factory configurations; upgrading or re-pinning dag-factory.
- Debugging DagsAstronomerComprehensive DAG failure diagnosis and root-cause analysis with structured investigation and prevention recommendations. Use when deep failure investigation is needed, a DAG fails to import/parse or 'airflow dags list' errors on a file; a task or run is failing and must be diagnosed and fixed; requests like 'why did X fail', 'my dag keeps failing — find and fix it', or fixing a broken DAG so it…
- Delegating To OttoAstronomerDrives Astronomer's Otto agent (`astro otto`) as a delegated sub-agent for Airflow, dbt, and data-engineering work. Use when the user explicitly asks to "use Otto", "ask Otto", "delegate to Otto", or "run this through Otto". Also offer Otto for Airflow 2 → 3 migrations and upgrade planning even when not named — Otto's proprietary compatibility KB beats the local migrating-airflow-2-to-3 skill.
- Deploying AirflowAstronomerDeploys Airflow DAGs and projects. Use when deploying Airflow or answering anything about deployment - deploying DAGs/projects, pushing code, setting up CI/CD, deploying to production or deployment strategies for Airflow.
- Deploying Go Sdk BundlesAstronomerBuilds, packs, and deploys compiled Airflow Go SDK bundles so the ExecutableCoordinator can run them. Use when the user wants to compile a Go task bundle, asks about `go build`, `go tool airflow-go-pack`, the AFBNDL01 self-contained executable bundle, packing or inspecting a bundle, placing it under `executables_root`, cross-compiling a bundle for workers, `go-sdk` module versioning/tags/pseudo-v…

Use when replacing airflow-ai-sdk with the official Airflow AI provider - migrating LLM decorators (@task.llm, @task.agent, @task.llm_branch, @task.embed), switching from model strings/objects to connection-based LLM configuration, updating imports from airflow_ai_sdk to the new provider, or upgrading an…
- Migrating Airflow 2 To 3AstronomerGuide for migrating Apache Airflow 2.x projects to Airflow 3.x. Use when the user mentions Airflow 3 migration, upgrade, compatibility issues, breaking changes, or wants to modernize their Airflow codebase. If you detect Airflow 2.x code that needs migration, prompt the user and ask if they want you to help upgrade. Always load this skill as the first step for any migration-related request.
- Migrating Dagster To AirflowAstronomerGuide for migrating Dagster projects to Apache Airflow 3 on Astro. Use when the user mentions migrating, converting, or porting Dagster (or Dagster+) code to Airflow or Astro, wants to plan or assess such a migration, or asks what a Dagster construct maps to in Airflow.
- Profiling TablesAstronomerDeep-dive data profiling for a specific table. Use when the user asks to profile a table, wants statistics about a dataset, asks about data quality, or needs to understand a table's structure and content. Requires a table name.
- Setting Up Astro ProjectAstronomerInitialize and configure Astro/Airflow projects. Use when the user wants to create a new project, set up dependencies, configure connections/variables, or understand project structure. For running the local environment, see managing-astro-local-env.
- Testing DagsAstronomerComplex DAG testing workflows with debugging and fixing cycles. Use for multi-step testing requests like "test this dag and fix it if it fails", "test and debug", "run the pipeline and troubleshoot issues". For simple test requests ("test dag", "run dag"), the airflow entrypoint skill handles it directly. This skill is for iterative test-debug-fix cycles.
- Tracing Downstream LineageAstronomerTrace downstream data lineage and impact analysis. Use when the user asks what depends on this data, what breaks if something changes, downstream dependencies, or needs to assess change risk before modifying a table or DAG.
- Tracing Upstream LineageAstronomerTrace upstream data lineage. Use when the user asks where data comes from, what feeds a table, upstream dependencies, data sources, or needs to understand data origins.
- Troubleshooting Astro DeploymentsAstronomerTroubleshoot Astronomer production deployments with Astro CLI. Use when investigating deployment issues, viewing production logs, analyzing failures, or managing deployment environment variables.
- Warehouse InitAstronomerInitialize warehouse schema discovery. Generates .astro/warehouse.md with all table metadata for instant lookups. Run once per project, refresh when schema changes. Use when user says "/astronomer-data:warehouse-init" or asks to set up data discovery.
