Setting Up Astro Project

Scaffolds new Airflow projects using Astro CLI and handles the dependency setup you'd otherwise need to figure out from docs. Creates the standard project structure (dags, plugins, tests folders), manages Python and OS packages through requirements.txt and packages.txt, and configures connections and variables via airflow_settings.yaml so they load automatically on startup. The smart bit is it defaults to latest Astro Runtime unless you explicitly pin a version, which saves you from accidentally locking to stale training data. Works hand in hand with the managing-astro-local-env skill for actually running things and authoring-dags for writing your pipelines. If you're not on Astro, it'll point you to the Apache Airflow Docker Compose setup instead.
