Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00048 | $0.02807 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.01404 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00561 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00281 |
Grade A, and why
deploying-airflow scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Deploying Airflow
This skill covers deploying Airflow DAGs and projects to production, whether using Astro (Astronomer's managed platform) or open-source Airflow on Docker Compose or Kubernetes.
Choosing a path: Astro is a good fit for managed operations and faster CI/CD. For open-source, use Docker Compose for dev and the Helm chart for production.
Astro (Astronomer)
Astro provides CLI commands and GitHub integration for deploying Airflow projects.
Deploy Commands
| Command | What It Does |
|---|---|
astro deploy |
Full project deploy — builds Docker image and deploys DAGs |
astro deploy --dags |
DAG-only deploy — pushes only DAG files (fast, no image build) |
astro deploy --image |
Image-only deploy — pushes only the Docker image (for multi-repo CI/CD) |
astro deploy --dbt |
dbt project deploy — deploys a dbt project to run alongside Airflow |
Full Project Deploy
Builds a Docker image from your Astro project and deploys everything (DAGs, plugins, requirements, packages):
astro deploy
Use this when you've changed requirements.txt, Dockerfile, packages.txt, plugins, or any non-DAG file.
DAG-Only Deploy
Pushes only files in the dags/ directory without rebuilding the Docker image:
astro deploy --dags
This is significantly faster than a full deploy since it skips the image build. Use this when you've only changed DAG files and haven't modified dependencies or configuration.
Image-Only Deploy
Pushes only the Docker image without updating DAGs:
astro deploy --image
This is useful in multi-repo setups where DAGs are deployed separately from the image, or in CI/CD pipelines that manage image and DAG deploys independently.
dbt Project Deploy
Deploys a dbt project to run with Cosmos on an Astro deployment:
astro deploy --dbt
GitHub Integration
Astro supports branch-to-deployment mapping for automated deploys:
- Map branches to specific deployments (e.g.,
main-> production,develop-> staging) - Pushes to mapped branches trigger automatic deploys
- Supports DAG-only deploys on merge for faster iteration
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.

deploying-airflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository astronomer/agents (432 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 2,807 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
