SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you operate Astro CLI workflows for Astronomer projects without getting stuck on local-vs-cloud differences, authentication, or Airflow API usage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Astro project lifecycle management: Initialize, validate, start, stop, parse, and run tests for both Docker and Standalone local modes (e.g., keeping DAGs import-safe).
  • Connections, variables, and environment portability: Export/import Airflow connections and variables to move runtime configuration between environments.
  • Cloud deployment operations and REST API access: Switch workspaces, inspect/create/deploy deployments, view component-scoped logs, and call Airflow REST endpoints through the authenticated astro api airflow wrapper.

Quick Start

Use the astro-cli skill to start a local Airflow environment by running the command: astro dev start --standalone.
