Installation

Quick Start

bash
npx skills add astronomer/agents --skill '*'

This installs all Astronomer skills into your project via skills.sh. You'll be prompted to select which agents to install to. To also select skills individually, omit the --skill flag.

[!IMPORTANT] Claude Code users: We recommend using the plugin instead (see Claude Code section below) for better integration with MCP servers and hooks.

Compatibility

Skills: Works with 25+ AI coding agents including Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Windsurf, Cline, and more.

MCP Server: Works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Desktop, VS Code, and others.

[!NOTE] Open-source Airflow users: The MCP server works with any Airflow 2.x/3.x REST API. Set AIRFLOW_API_URL to your self-hosted instance. Skills are tool-agnostic and work with any Airflow deployment.
