In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to sanitize an n8n workflow export, create a clean template, or prepare workflow JSON for version control.
Why use it?
It removes database credentials, webhook addresses, and private API tokens so workflow files are safer to store in Git or share publicly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

n8n-workflow-packer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/packer.js, scripts/packer.test.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

🌐 Skill: n8n-workflow-packer

An automated utility skill to package and sanitize exported n8n workflow JSON files for secure version control in Git. Automatically redacts database credentials, webhook URLs, and private API tokens.


🛠️ Triggers

This skill is triggered when an agent or developer needs to version control n8n workflows, clean workflow configurations, or share n8n templates publicly.

  • "sanitize n8n workflow"
  • "pack n8n template"
  • "run n8n-workflow-packer"
  • "prepare n8n json"

🚀 Usage Guide

Requirements

  • Node.js (v18+)

Command Execution

Run the script using node from the repository root:

# Sanitize and create a template in the same directory (default appends _template.json)
node skills/automation/n8n-workflow-packer/scripts/packer.js --input my_workflow.json

# Define a specific output path
node skills/automation/n8n-workflow-packer/scripts/packer.js \
  --input my_workflow.json \
  --output templates/my_workflow_clean.json

Options

  • -i, --input: Path to the exported n8n workflow JSON file (required).
  • -o, --output: Target path to save the sanitized template JSON (default: <input_basename>_template.json).
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
