SKILL.md

Implement human approval gates, form inputs, and human-driven branching in Airflow DAGs using the HITL operators. These deferrable operators pause workflow execution until a human responds via the Airflow UI or REST API.

Execute steps in order. Prefer deferrable HITL operators over custom sensors/polling loops.

CRITICAL: Requires Airflow 3.1+. NOT available in Airflow 2.x. Deferrable: All HITL operators are deferrable—they release their worker slot while waiting for human input. UI Location: View pending actions at Browse → Required Actions in Airflow UI. Respond via the task instance page's Required Actions tab or the REST API.
