✓Use when the user needs human-in-the-loop workflows in Airflow (approval/reject, form input, or human-driven branching). Covers ApprovalOperator, HITLOperator, HITLBranchOperator, HITLEntryOperator. Requires Airflow 3.1+. Does not cover AI/LLM calls (see airflow-ai).
Installation
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.
