Airflow Workflows
DAG Structure
from airflow import DAG
from airflow.operators.python import PythonOperator
from airflow.providers.common.sql.operators.sql import SQLExecuteQueryOperator
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
default_args = {
'owner': 'data-team',
'depends_on_past': False,
'email_on_failure': True,
'retries': 3,
'retry_delay': timedelta(minutes=5),
}
with DAG(
'daily_etl',
default_args=default_args,
description='Daily ETL pipeline',
schedule_interval='0 6 * * *', # 6 AM daily
start_date=datetime(2024, 1, 1),
catchup=False,
tags=['etl', 'daily'],
) as dag:
extract = PythonOperator(
task_id='extract_data',
python_callable=extract_function,
)
transform = SQLExecuteQueryOperator(
task_id='transform_data',
conn_id='warehouse',
sql='sql/transform.sql',
)
load = PythonOperator(
task_id='load_data',
python_callable=load_function,
)
extract >> transform >> load
Common Operators
| Operator | Use Case |
|---|---|
PythonOperator |
Custom Python code |
BashOperator |
Shell commands |
SQLExecuteQueryOperator |
Database queries |
S3ToSnowflakeOperator |
Cloud data transfers |
DbtCloudRunJobOperator |
dbt Cloud jobs |
Best Practices
- Idempotent tasks - Safe to re-run
- Small tasks - Easy to debug, retry
- XCom sparingly - Only small data
- Templating - Use
{{ ds }}for dates - Sensors wisely - Avoid blocking workers
Task Dependencies
# Linear
task1 >> task2 >> task3
# Parallel
[task1, task2] >> task3
# Complex
task1 >> [task2, task3]
[task2, task3] >> task4
Dynamic DAGs
for table in ['users', 'orders', 'products']:
task = PythonOperator(
task_id=f'process_{table}',
python_callable=process_table,
op_kwargs={'table': table},
)
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
mvp-help
Help and documentation for Idea to MVP plugin. Use when: user asks about building MVPs, vibe coding, or available commands. Triggers: "help", "what can you do", "mvp help", "how to build".
verification-gate
Hidden quality gate that runs before showing "Done!" to user - ensures all tests pass, build succeeds, and requirements met before claiming completion
brainstorming
Refine ideas into detailed designs through Socratic dialogue. Use when: user has rough idea, needs to clarify requirements, explore approaches. Triggers: "brainstorm", "discuss idea", "I'm thinking about", "what if", "help me think through", "explore options", "/brainstorm".
subagent-creator
Guide for creating effective subagents (custom agents). Use when users want to create a new subagent that can be dispatched via Task tool for autonomous work. Covers frontmatter fields (name, description, tools, model, permissionMode, skills), prompt design, and when to use subagents vs skills.
backend-rust
Modern Rust backend with Axum, SQLx, tokio + CI/CD automation. Use when: building Rust APIs, high-performance services, or needing build/test/lint/audit automation. Triggers: "axum", "rust backend", "rust api", "sqlx", "tokio", "cargo build", "cargo test", "clippy", "rustfmt", "cargo-audit", "cross-compile", "rust ci", "release build", "rust security", "shuttle", "actix".
test-driven-development
Write failing test first, then minimal code to pass. Red-Green-Refactor cycle. Use when: implementing features, fixing bugs, refactoring code. Triggers: "implement", "add feature", "fix bug", "tdd", "test first", "write tests", "test-driven".
