# managing-astro-deployments A skill that walks your agent through Astro CLI: log in, switch workspaces, create deployments and ship code to production. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 567 installs · ★ 456 - Author: astronomer - License: Apache-2.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/astronomer/agents/tree/HEAD/skills/managing-astro-deployments/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-14 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/managing-astro-deployments ## What it does This skill covers production deployments on Astronomer through the Astro CLI. Your agent gets the exact commands: `astro login` for browser OAuth, `astro workspace list` and `astro workspace switch ` to change context, `astro deployment list` and `astro deployment inspect ` to read deployment state. Auth tokens are stored locally, so log in before anything else. Deploys come in three shapes. A full `astro deploy ` rebuilds the Docker image and syncs DAGs — use it when `requirements.txt`, `packages.txt` or the `Dockerfile` changed. The `--dags` flag ships only Python files from `dags/` and takes seconds instead of minutes, but the deployment needs `--dag-deploy-enabled` set first. The third option, `--image-only`, updates the image and skips DAG sync. There is also `--force`, which bypasses the validation that catches broken builds. That is a reason to check what failed validation before reaching for it. API tokens for CI/CD get their own section: `astro deployment token list --deployment-id ` and `astro deployment token create` with the `DEPLOYMENT_ADMIN` role and an optional `--expiry` in days. The token value appears once, at creation. Deleting a deployment cannot be undone — DAGs, task history and metadata go with it. The skill points to two neighbours, one for local Airflow environments and one for production troubleshooting. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add astronomer/agents --skill managing-astro-deployments -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/managing-astro-deployments/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/managing-astro-deployments/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add astronomer/agents --skill managing-astro-deployments -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/managing-astro-deployments/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add astronomer/agents --skill managing-astro-deployments -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/managing-astro-deployments/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install astronomer/agents managing-astro-deployments ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/managing-astro-deployments/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add astronomer/agents --skill managing-astro-deployments -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/astronomer/agents --path skills/managing-astro-deployments ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/managing-astro-deployments/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add astronomer/agents --skill managing-astro-deployments -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/astronomer/agents/tree/HEAD/skills/managing-astro-deployments/SKILL.md ## When to use it - log in to Astronomer and switch to the right workspace - create a production deployment with the celery or kubernetes executor - ship changed DAGs without rebuilding the Docker image - check deployment status, Airflow version and resource quotas - issue a CI/CD API token with an expiry ## Example prompts - Log in to Astronomer and list my workspaces - Create a deployment labeled production with the celery executor - Deploy only the dags folder to deployment ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 98ced3df7775b5da ````text --- name: managing-astro-deployments description: Manage Astronomer production deployments with Astro CLI. Use when the user wants to authenticate, switch workspaces, create/update/delete deployments, or deploy code to production. --- # Astro Deployment Management This skill helps you manage production Astronomer deployments using the Astro CLI. > **For local development**, see the **managing-astro-local-env** skill. > **For production troubleshooting**, see the **troubleshooting-astro-deployments** skill. --- ## Authentication All deployment operations require authentication: ```bash # Login to Astronomer (opens browser for OAuth) astro login ``` Authentication tokens are stored locally for subsequent commands. Run this before any deployment operations. --- ## Workspace Management Deployments are organized into workspaces: ```bash # List all accessible workspaces astro workspace list # Switch to a specific workspace astro workspace switch ``` Workspace context is maintained between sessions. Most deployment commands operate within the current workspace context. --- ## List and Inspect Deployments ```bash # List deployments in current workspace astro deployment list # List deployments across all workspaces astro deployment list --all # Inspect specific deployment (detailed info) astro deployment inspect # Inspect by name (alternative to ID) astro deployment inspect --deployment-name data-service-stg ``` ### What `inspect` Shows - Deployment status (HEALTHY, UNHEALTHY) - Runtime version and Airflow version - Executor type (CELERY, KUBERNETES, LOCAL) - Scheduler configuration (size, count) - Worker queue settings (min/max workers, concurrency, worker type) - Resource quotas (CPU, memory) - Environment variables - Last deployment timestamp and current tag - Webserver and API URLs - High availability status --- ## Create Deployments ```bash # Create with default settings astro deployment create # Create with specific executor astro deployment create --label production --executor celery astro deployment create --label staging --executor kubernetes # Executor options: ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 98ced3df7775b5da The third-party file has ended.
