n8n-syntax-node-types

n8n-syntax-node-types is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Impertio-Studio/n8n-Claude-Skill-Package. It costs 154 tokens per session (3,961 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for creating custom n8n nodes, which are reusable steps in n8n workflows. It explains node metadata, inputs, credentials, execution methods, triggers, webhooks, AI data providers, and display rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build regular, trigger, polling, webhook, declarative, or AI sub-nodes and define their settings, credentials, and behavior.
Why use it?
It helps prevent malformed node definitions and incorrect property or condition types when extending n8n.

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-syntax-node-types 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 9d 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.

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.
