These are slash commands for a Claude Code session, not your shell. Claude auto-invokes the skill when your request matches its description — or type its slash command if it exposes one.
How to install data engineering in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)
Clone the source
bashgit clone https://github.com/astronomer/agents.gitAdd the SKILL.md to your Skills folder
Settings → Capabilities → Skills → add the folder containing SKILL.md. Claude picks it up automatically.

Installation
Quick Start
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.
