2 registry resources · 1 tutorial, 1 skill · roadmap: Orchestration
What this topic covers
DE//AGENT currently lists 2 resources under retries: 1 tutorial, 1 skill. Everything below is derived from the live registry — counts, capabilities, verification state and security posture come from the curated records, never from marketing copy.
What you can learn here
Documented learning objectives across these resources:
- Make every task safe to re-run — via Airflow DAG Reviewer
- Choose retries and timeouts deliberately — via Airflow DAG Reviewer
- Predict what a backfill will do before running it — via Airflow DAG Reviewer
- Model task structure with task groups from the idempotent skeleton — via Wire task dependencies and retries that survive failure
- Choose retries and timeouts deliberately, with backoff — via Wire task dependencies and retries that survive failure
- Pass the reviewer's retry and concurrency check — via Wire task dependencies and retries that survive failure
Where this fits in the learning roadmap
These resources map to stage: Orchestration (2). Follow the four-phase roadmap to place this topic inside a progression instead of learning it in isolation.
Compare the registry's options
Every entry, its shape and its trust state — sorted by the registry's composite score. This table is the honest version of a marketing comparison: no sponsored placements, no unverifiable claims.
| Resource | Type | Difficulty | Verification | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Airflow DAG Reviewer | Skill | intermediate | community flags | 39.5 |
| Wire task dependencies and retries that survive failure | Tutorial | intermediate | community | 34.15 |
How scores are computed: source quality score.
Where to start
Highest composite score first:
- Airflow DAG Reviewer score 39.5 — intermediate
- Wire task dependencies and retries that survive failure score 34.15 — intermediate
Scores rank provenance, completeness and trust — read how verification works before adopting anything.
Cautions and limitations
Security-flagged entries: Airflow DAG Reviewer (1 flag). Flags mean the record declares capabilities like credential use or write access — read the security posture on each page before connecting.
Production use cases
- Airflow DAG Reviewer — Checks a DAG for non-idempotent tasks, unsafe retries, missing catchup policy, ambiguous catchup/backfill semantics and unbounded concurrency. details
- Wire task dependencies and retries that survive failure — Model the pipeline as task groups and give every task deliberate retries with backoff, a timeout and a pool — the skeleton's guarantees, verified the way the DAG reviewer verifies … details
