@astronomer Updated 2026-10-14

Manage local Airflow environment with Astro CLI (Docker and standalone modes). Use when the user wants to start, stop, or restart Airflow, view logs, query the Airflow API, troubleshoot, or fix environment issues. For project setup, see setting-up-astro-project.

Install

With your agent

Install OMGSkills skill "astronomer/agents:managing-astro-local-env" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.

Manual command

git clone https://github.com/astronomer/agents /tmp/agents && ln -s /tmp/agents/skills/managing-astro-local-env ~/.claude/skills/managing-astro-local-env

From README

Astro Local Environment This skill helps you manage your local Airflow environment using the Astro CLI. Two modes: Docker (default, uses containers) and Standalone (Docker-free, uses a local venv — requires Airflow 3 + uv). To set up a new project, see the setting-up-astro-project skill. When Airflow is running, use MCP tools from authoring-dags and testing-dags skills. --- Start / Stop / Restart (Docker) Default credentials: admin / admin Restart after modifying: requirements.txt, packages.txt, Dockerfile Standalone mode? See the next section. --- Standalone Mode Docker-free local development. Runs Airflow directly on your machine in a .venv/ managed by uv. Requirements: Airflow 3 (runtime 3.x), uv on PATH. Not supported on Windows. Plain astro dev init already pins a runtime 3.x image, so no version flag is needed. See setting-up-astro-project for project initialization.
