n8n-agents-project-scaffolder

n8n-agents-project-scaffolder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Impertio-Studio/n8n-Claude-Skill-Package. It costs 111 tokens per session (2,867 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project generator for n8n, a tool for connecting apps and automating workflows. It creates starting files for n8n servers, custom nodes, and workflow templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold an n8n server with PostgreSQL, a scaled setup with Redis workers, a custom node package, or starter workflow JSON files.
Why use it?
It reduces setup mistakes when starting an n8n deployment or extension. It provides the required configuration and folder structure instead of making you assemble them by hand.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/node/.n8n.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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-agents-project-scaffolder 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 12d ago.

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.

n8n Project Scaffolder

Generate complete, production-ready n8n project structures from scratch.

Quick Reference

Scaffold Type Use Case Key Files
Deployment New n8n server with PostgreSQL + Traefik docker-compose.yml, .env, backup.sh
Queue Mode Horizontally scaled n8n with Redis workers docker-compose.yml, .env
Custom Node New community node package package.json, tsconfig.json, node + credential templates
Workflow Template Starter workflow JSON files workflows/*.json

Decision Tree: Which Scaffold?

What are you building?
|
+-- A new n8n server deployment?
|   |
|   +-- Single instance (dev/small team)?
|   |   --> DEPLOYMENT SCAFFOLD (PostgreSQL)
|   |
|   +-- High-traffic / horizontal scaling?
|       --> QUEUE MODE SCAFFOLD (PostgreSQL + Redis + Workers)
|
+-- A custom n8n node package?
|   --> CUSTOM NODE SCAFFOLD
|
+-- Starter workflow files?
    --> WORKFLOW TEMPLATE SCAFFOLD

ALWAYS Include in docker-compose.yml

  • PostgreSQL service with named volume (postgres_data)
  • n8n service with named volume (n8n_data) mounted at /home/node/.n8n
  • Traefik reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt TLS
  • Local files bind mount (./local-files:/files)
  • Explicit N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY (NEVER rely on auto-generated key)
  • N8N_ENFORCE_SETTINGS_FILE_PERMISSIONS=true
  • N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=true
  • NODE_ENV=production
  • restart: always on all services
  • PostgreSQL health check with pg_isready
  • n8n depends_on PostgreSQL with condition: service_healthy

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
