What coding agents get wrong in Apache Airflow

Agents put heavy code at the top level of DAG files, which the scheduler runs on every parse. They pass large data through XCom, skip retries, and mix Airflow 2 and Airflow 3 imports.

Skills that help

Astronomer's skills for DAG authoring, lineage and Airflow 3 features, plus skills for DAG patterns and scheduler troubleshooting.

How we count

We match project tags against 99,639 skills from 7,206 public GitHub repos (refreshed 2026-10-18). A skill built for another framework or language is left out, and so is a skill below our relevance floor. The picks on this page come from the ranked list for these tags. We favor broad practice skills over single-task ones. Licenses are shown as each repo declares them. Read a skill before you install it.
