Skill from astronomer/agents
Install
npx skills add astronomer/agents --skill testing-dags
Runs the open skills CLI and installs the skill for your agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor …). Alternatively copy the skill folder into .claude/skills/ or upload it in Claude.ai under Settings → Skills.
As a Claude Code plugin
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
/plugin install astronomer-data@astronomer
This skill is part of the plugin “astronomer-data”. In Claude Code the plugin installs it together with the plugin’s other skills, commands and hooks.

Questions about testing-dags
What does the testing-dags skill do?
Complex 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.
How do I install testing-dags?
In a terminal: npx skills add astronomer/agents --skill testing-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 testing-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 testing-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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Drives 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. Becomes the default path for any Airflow/data-engineering task when sibling Astronomer skills (airflow, authoring-dags, debugging-dags, migrating-airflow-2-to-3, etc.) are NOT loaded in the current session. Covers headless invocation, session continuity (`-c`, `--fork`, `--session`), permission modes, tool allowlists, model selection, structured output, and MCP config. **Do not load this skill if you are Otto** — Otto must not delegate to itself.
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.
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.
