airflow-dag-patterns

airflow-dag-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from henryalouf/ruflow. It costs 42 tokens per session (307 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of airflow-dag-patterns, MIT.

A guide to Apache Airflow, a system for scheduling and coordinating data workflows. It covers DAGs, which are workflows written as tasks and dependencies, along with operators, sensors, tests, deployment, and troubleshooting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and test Airflow workflows, build custom tasks and sensors, deploy pipelines, debug failed runs, and manage scheduled batch jobs.
Why use it?
It helps organize recurring data pipelines so tasks run in the right order and failed work can be retried or investigated.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

airflow-dag-patterns 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 9d 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.

Origin

What it actually says

Apache Airflow DAG Patterns

Production-ready patterns for Apache Airflow including DAG design, operators, sensors, testing, and deployment strategies.

Use this skill when

  • Creating data pipeline orchestration with Airflow
  • Designing DAG structures and dependencies
  • Implementing custom operators and sensors
  • Testing Airflow DAGs locally
  • Setting up Airflow in production
  • Debugging failed DAG runs

Do not use this skill when

  • You only need a simple cron job or shell script
  • Airflow is not part of the tooling stack
  • The task is unrelated to workflow orchestration

Instructions

  1. Identify data sources, schedules, and dependencies.
  2. Design idempotent tasks with clear ownership and retries.
  3. Implement DAGs with observability and alerting hooks.
  4. Validate in staging and document operational runbooks.

Refer to resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns, checklists, and templates.

Safety

  • Avoid changing production DAG schedules without approval.
  • Test backfills and retries carefully to prevent data duplication.

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns, checklists, and templates.

Changes

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.
