GCP Managed Airflow DAG Authoring Guide

This skill guides you through authoring and validating Apache Airflow DAGs for Managed Service for Apache Airflow (MSAA; formerly Cloud Composer) environments.

Phase 1: Context Discovery

1.1 Identify Target Environment & Access

Determine if you have direct access to the target Managed Airflow environment, local development environment or if you are working offline (only changing local files without validation).
