Checked
astronomer·vlatest·data·Apache-2.0

This skill generates directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to visualize and automate complex workflows, streamlining processes and boosting efficiency.

Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add astronomer/agents --skill authoring-dags -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned astronomer/agents at cbe1141f54.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The authoring-dags skill enables AI agents to create and manage Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), which are used in workflow orchestration systems like Apache Airflow. It allows users to define tasks, set dependencies between them, and schedule workflows for execution.

When to use it

  • Automating data pipelines with complex task dependencies
  • Scheduling recurring batch jobs or ETL processes
  • Building modular and reusable workflow components

Key capabilities

  • Define DAGs using code or visual interfaces
  • Set up task dependencies and scheduling intervals
  • Integrate with external systems for execution and monitoring

Example prompts

  • "Create a DAG that runs data ingestion tasks every day at midnight."
  • "Define a workflow with three dependent tasks: extract, transform, load."
  • "Generate a DAG template for batch processing of user activity logs."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your environment supports DAG execution frameworks like Apache Airflow.
  • Use version control to track changes in DAG definitions and avoid conflicts.
