n8n-workflow-designer

n8n-workflow-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from khalilbenaz/claude-skills-collection. It costs 93 tokens per session (2,083 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing n8n workflows, where connected nodes run actions in response to events or schedules. It includes integrations, credentials, self-hosted deployment, and reliability practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create automated workflows, connect SaaS services, receive webhooks, deploy n8n with Docker and PostgreSQL, or scale workers with Redis.
Why use it?
It helps decide how to run n8n and how to store workflow data securely and reliably across development, single-server, or scaled deployments.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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-designer scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

n8n Workflow Designer

Workflow en étapes

1. Choisir et déployer le mode d'exécution

Critères de décision :

Contexte Mode recommandé
Prototype / dev local npx n8n ou Docker simple
Prod mono-serveur Docker + PostgreSQL + reverse proxy
Prod haute dispo n8n Queue Mode (Redis + workers)
Zéro ops n8n Cloud

Docker Compose minimal pour la prod :

services:
  n8n:
    image: n8nio/n8n:latest
    environment:
      - N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<clé-aléatoire-32-chars>
      - DB_TYPE=postgresdb
      - DB_POSTGRESDB_HOST=postgres
      - DB_POSTGRESDB_DATABASE=n8n
      - DB_POSTGRESDB_USER=n8n
      - DB_POSTGRESDB_PASSWORD=<mot-de-passe>
      - WEBHOOK_URL=https://n8n.mondomaine.com/
      - N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true
      - N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER=admin
      - N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=<mot-de-passe>
      - EXECUTIONS_DATA_PRUNE=true
      - EXECUTIONS_DATA_MAX_AGE=168   # 7 jours
    volumes:
      - n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n
    ports:
      - "5678:5678"
  postgres:
    image: postgres:16-alpine
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: n8n
      POSTGRES_USER: n8n
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: <mot-de-passe>
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
volumes:
  n8n_data:
  postgres_data:

Ne jamais exposer le port 5678 directement sur Internet — passer par Nginx/Caddy avec TLS.


2. Concevoir l'architecture du workflow

Avant de cliquer dans l'éditeur, répondre à ces questions :

  • Trigger : Webhook (push), Cron (pull périodique), ou événement applicatif (ex. n8n trigger interne) ?
  • Volume : traitement unitaire ou batch ? Si > 100 items → prévoir Split In Batches.
  • Idempotence : que se passe-t-il si le workflow tourne deux fois avec les mêmes données ? Ajouter une vérification de doublon si nécessaire.
  • Branchements : IF (2 branches), Switch (n branches), Merge (rejoindre des branches parallèles).

Squelette type :

[Trigger] → [Valider/Filtrer] → [Transformer] → [Action principale]
                                                      ↓ (error path)
                                              [Notifier erreur]

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.
