16 stars

Best use case

airflow-dag is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Create Apache Airflow DAGs for construction data pipelines. Orchestrate ETL, validation, and reporting workflows.

Teams using airflow-dag should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Apache Airflow DAG for Construction

## Overview
Apache Airflow orchestrates complex data pipelines. This skill creates DAGs for construction ETL processes - from BIM extraction to cost reports.

```

## Quick Start

```python
# Create custom pipeline
builder = ConstructionDAGBuilder('my_pipeline', schedule='@daily')

# Add tasks
builder.add_bash_task('convert', 'RvtExporter.exe model.rvt')
builder.add_python_task('analyze', 'analyze_data', upstream=['convert'])
builder.add_python_task('report', 'create_report', upstream=['analyze'])

# Generate DAG code
code = builder.generate_dag_code()
print(code)

# Save to file
builder.save_dag('/airflow/dags/my_pipeline.py')
```

## Pipeline Templates

### 1. BIM Validation
```python
templates = ConstructionPipelineTemplates()
validation_dag = templates.bim_validation_pipeline()
validation_dag.save_dag('/airflow/dags/bim_validation.py')
```

### 2. Cost Estimation
```python
cost_dag = templates.cost_estimation_pipeline()
cost_dag.save_dag('/airflow/dags/cost_estimation.py')
```

### 3. Batch Conversion
```python
batch_dag = templates.batch_conversion_pipeline()
batch_dag.save_dag('/airflow/dags/batch_convert.py')
```
