What does the authoring-dags skill do?
Workflow 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'. For testing and debugging DAGs, see the testing-dags skill.
How do I install authoring-dags?
In a terminal: npx skills add astronomer/agents --skill authoring-dags. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use authoring-dags?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is authoring-dags safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.

Manage Astronomer production deployments with Astro CLI. Use when the user wants to authenticate, switch workspaces, create/update/delete deployments, or deploy code to production.
Guide 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.
Migrates Airflow projects from airflow-ai-sdk to apache-airflow-providers-common-ai 0.4.0+. 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 existing common-ai 0.1.x setup to 0.4.x (multimodal prompts, toolsets, embedding operators); also when common-ai provider, AIP-99, a pydanticai connection or migrating away from airflow-ai-sdk come up.
Manage local Airflow environment with Astro CLI (Docker and standalone modes). Use when the user wants to start, stop, or restart Airflow, view logs, query the Airflow API, troubleshoot, or fix environment issues. For project setup, see setting-up-astro-project.
Builds, 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-versions, or getting the bundle onto an Airflow worker (Docker, Kubernetes, or Astro). For the task code see authoring-go-sdk-tasks; for the shared coordinator settings see configuring-airflow-language-sdks.
Deploys 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.
Guide 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. Covers assets, partitions, schedules, sensors, declarative automation, resources, IO managers, ops/jobs, dbt, Pipes, Components, and Dagster+ platform config. Always load this skill as the first step for any Dagster-to-Airflow request.
Builds and deploys compiled Airflow Java SDK bundles so workers can run them. Use when the user wants to package a JVM task bundle into a JAR, asks about the `org.apache.airflow.sdk` Gradle plugin, `./gradlew bundle`, the Maven shade/BOM setup, fat vs thin JARs, the logging integration artifacts (JPL, SLF4J, Log4j 2, JUL), preview/snapshot builds, or getting the JAR onto an Airflow worker (Docker, Kubernetes, or Astro). For the task code see authoring-java-sdk-tasks; for the Airflow coordinator settings see configuring-airflow-language-sdks.

Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
