Apache Airflow is a platform for defining, scheduling, and monitoring workflows as code, with a scheduler assigning dependent tasks to workers. Teams use it to orchestrate automated data and software pipelines and inspect their progress through a user interface. Its catalogue skills and instructions help agents work with Airflow.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00047 | $0.02689 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.01076 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00538 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00269 |
Grade A, and why
airflow-publish-changes scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 19d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 240 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Publish Airflow changes
For a plan, describe the steps without executing publication. For authorized
publication, preserve existing approval and confirmation boundaries.
Use the sections below for remote setup, existing PR checks, publication and
issue tracking. Follow root AGENTS.md for the applicable
test conventions and generated check commands; for contribution text, use
Draft Airflow contribution text.
Git remote naming conventions
Airflow standardises on two git remote names, and the rest of this file, the contributing docs, and the release docs all assume them:
upstream— the canonicalapache/airflowrepository (fetch from here).origin— the contributor's fork ofapache/airflow(push PR branches here).
Always push branches to origin. Never push directly to upstream (and never
push directly to main on either remote).
Before running any remote-based command, run git remote -v and verify the
names match this convention. If they do not — for example, the upstream remote
is called apache, or origin points at apache/airflow with the fork under a
different name like fork — do not silently go along with the existing
names. Surface the mismatch to the user and propose the exact rename commands
to bring the checkout in line with the convention, then ask the user to confirm
before running them. Examples:
-
Upstream is named
apache, fork isorigin(common legacy layout):git remote rename apache upstream -
originpoints atapache/airflowand the fork is namedfork(release-manager / "cloned upstream directly" layout):git remote rename origin upstream git remote rename fork origin -
Upstream is missing entirely:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/apache/airflow.git # or, for SSH: git remote add upstream [email protected]:apache/airflow.git
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

airflow-publish-changes is a skill published in the GitHub repository apache/airflow (47,377 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 2,689 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-18.
