airflow-state-store

Persists 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 "what's new in Airflow 3.3". Also use proactively when reading a DAG that uses Variables or XCom for intra-task coordination state — flag the anti-pattern and recommend task_state_store or asset_state_store instead. Requires Airflow 3.3+.

delegating-to-ottoDrives 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.0 installs profiling-tablesDeep-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.0 installs cosmos-dbt-coreUse when turning a dbt Core project into an Airflow DAG/TaskGroup using Astronomer Cosmos. Does not cover dbt Fusion. Before implementing, verify dbt engine, warehouse, Airflow version, execution environment, DAG vs TaskGroup, and manifest availability.0 installs tracing-downstream-lineageTrace 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.0 installs airflow-adapterAirflow 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.0 installs cosmos-dbt-fusionUse when running a dbt Fusion project with Astronomer Cosmos. Covers Cosmos 1.11+ configuration for Fusion on Snowflake/Databricks with ExecutionMode.LOCAL. Before implementing, verify dbt engine is Fusion (not Core), warehouse is supported, and local execution is acceptable. Does not cover dbt Core.0 installs

checking-freshnessQuick 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.0 installs debugging-dagsComprehensive DAG failure diagnosis and root cause analysis. Use for complex debugging requests requiring deep investigation like "diagnose and fix the pipeline", "full root cause analysis", "why is this failing and how to prevent it". For simple debugging ("why did dag fail", "show logs"), the airflow entrypoint skill handles it directly. This skill provides structured investigation and prevention recommendations.0 installs managing-astro-local-envManage 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.0 installs deploying-airflowDeploy Airflow DAGs and projects. Use when the user wants to deploy code, push DAGs, set up CI/CD, deploy to production, or asks about deployment strategies for Airflow.0 installs blueprintDefine reusable Airflow task group templates with Pydantic validation and compose DAGs from YAML. Use when creating blueprint templates, composing DAGs from YAML, validating configurations, or enabling no-code DAG authoring for non-engineers.0 installs setting-up-astro-projectInitialize 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.0 installs

Frequently asked questions about airflow-state-store

What does the airflow-state-store skill do?

How do I install the airflow-state-store skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install astronomer-airflow-state-store` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/astronomer-airflow-state-store/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does airflow-state-store work with?

airflow-state-store runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the airflow-state-store skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use airflow-state-store after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/astronomer-airflow-state-store` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the airflow-state-store skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
