Human approval gates, form inputs, and branching in Airflow DAGs using deferrable operators.
Automate repetitive workflows and reduce manual effort
Example: Generate reports, summarize documents, draft communications
Save 3-5 hours per week on routine tasks
Learn new skills, understand complex topics, get expert guidance
Example: Explain concepts, provide examples, suggest learning resources
Accelerate learning and skill development by 2x
Enhance output quality through reviews, suggestions, and refinements
Example: Review drafts, suggest improvements, catch errors
Improve work quality by 30-40% with less effort
Time estimate: 15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity
Prerequisites
Submit your Claude Code skill and start earning
epx add astronomer/agents --skill airflow-hitlCompatible with
Supported agents
Four operator types: ApprovalOperator for approve/reject decisions, HITLOperator for multi-option selection with forms, HITLBranchOperator for human-driven task routing, and HITLEntryOperator for form data collection
All operators are deferrable, releasing worker slots while awaiting human response via Airflow UI's Required Actions tab or REST API
Supports optional features including custom n
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionairflow-hitlExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
epx add astronomer/agents --skill airflow-hitlFetches airflow-hitl from astronomer/agents and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/airflow-hitl
Restart Cursor to activate airflow-hitl. Access via /airflow-hitlin your agent's command palette.

Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.
