Data Orchestration Skill for Claude

Expert guidance for orchestrating data pipelines. Dagster-first for greenfield projects, Airflow for brownfield. Covers scheduling, dependencies, monitoring, retries, alerting, and dbt/DLT integration.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when:

  • Choosing between orchestration tools (Dagster vs Airflow vs Prefect vs embedded)
  • Building Dagster assets, resources, sensors, schedules, or partitions
  • Writing Airflow DAGs, operators, TaskFlow tasks, or connections
  • Integrating orchestrators with dbt or DLT
  • Implementing retry logic, alerting, failure handling, or partitioned backfills
  • Deciding whether you need an orchestrator at all

Don't use for: dbt model writing (use dbt-transforms), DLT source/destination config (use data-integration), Kafka/Flink streaming (use event-streaming), IaC provisioning, or CI/CD pipelines.

Scope Constraints

  • Generate orchestration code, DAG definitions, asset configs, and scheduling logic only.
