configuring-airflow-language-sdks
Configures Airflow to run language SDK tasks (Java, Go, and future native SDKs) — register a coordinator, map a queue to it, ensure the runtime/artifact on workers, and tune coordinator options. Use when the user wants Airflow to route a queue to a native-language coordinator, asks about the `[sdk]` `coordinators`/`queue_to_coordinator` settings, `AIRFLOW__SDK__COORDINATORS`, `jars_root`, `executables_root` or other coordinator `kwargs`, `task_startup_timeout`, or why their native tasks aren't being picked up. Covers the shared routing mechanism plus per-coordinator options (e.g. JavaCoordinator, ExecutableCoordinator).
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "astronomer/agents:skills/configuring-airflow-language-sdks" 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/configuring-airflow-language-sdks ~/.claude/skills/configuring-airflow-language-sdksFrom README
Configuring Airflow for Language SDKs To run language SDK tasks, Airflow needs to know two things: which coordinator launches the native subprocess, and which queue routes to that coordinator. The mechanism is identical across every language SDK — only each coordinator's classpath and kwargs differ. This skill documents the shared wiring once, then the per-coordinator options. It is platform-neutral: the same settings apply on open-source Airflow and on managed platforms like Astro. Experimental. The language SDKs are in preview; configuration keys may change. For the task code, see authoring-language-sdk-tasks (and the per-language authoring skill, e.g. authoring-java-sdk-tasks, authoring-go-sdk-tasks). For building and shipping the artifact, see the per-language deploy skill (e.g. deploying-java-sdk-bundles, deploying-go-sdk-bundles).
