n8n-workflow

n8n-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mickpletcher/AI-Skills. It costs 102 tokens per session (2,186 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing, building, and fixing n8n workflows. n8n is a tool for connecting services and automating multi-step tasks using workflow nodes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create automation pipelines, connect services, use webhooks, integrate the Claude API, configure credentials, expose services through Cloudflare Tunnel, and deploy n8n in a Proxmox LXC.
Why use it?
It helps resolve the practical setup problems that can make automations fail, such as choosing nodes, configuring credentials, exposing webhooks, or deploying the workflow.

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 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 1mo 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 Workflow Builder

Intent

Design, build, and troubleshoot n8n workflows for Mick's self-hosted automation stack with practical node and deployment guidance.

Use When

  • The user explicitly asks for n8n-workflow.
  • The request matches the triggers or workflow described below.
  • The task benefits from a reusable, structured output instead of a one-off answer.

Do Not Use When

  • Do not use for unrelated automation tools, production changes without context, credential handling in plain text, or unsafe destructive workflow edits.
  • Required context is missing and cannot be reasonably inferred.
  • A more specific skill in this repo is a better match.

Constraints

  • Do not fabricate missing facts, measurements, dates, sources, or user context.
  • Keep output aligned with Mick's direct, practical communication style unless the skill says otherwise.
  • Preserve safety, legal, medical, financial, and operational boundaries stated in this file.
  • Prefer concise, usable output over broad explanation.

Design, build, or troubleshoot n8n automation workflows for Mick's self-hosted Proxmox environment.

Mick's n8n Stack

  • Instance: Proxmox LXC CT 104, static IP 192.168.0.81, port 5678
  • External access: Cloudflare Tunnel to an HTTPS subdomain
  • Primary use cases: morning briefing pipeline, trading alerts, RSS processing, Claude API orchestration, webhook receivers
  • Claude API integration: HTTP Request node to https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages

Workflow Design Principles

  1. One trigger, one purpose: Keep workflows focused. Chain them with webhooks when needed.
  2. Error handling on every external call: Add an Error Trigger or use Continue on Fail with a downstream notification step.
  3. Credentials in the n8n credential store: Never hardcode API keys in nodes. Use named credentials.
  4. Use a Set node to normalize data: Clean up fields before passing data to downstream steps.
  5. Test with static data first: Pin node output during development and unpin for production.

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.
