.agents/skills/nathan/SKILL.md

n8n:nathan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from n8n-io/n8n. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,450 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A tool for creating a temporary n8n test instance, or producing a local Docker command to run one, for a particular code branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after opening a pull request to offer branch testing, or when someone asks to start a test instance for a branch.
Why use it?
It gives developers a live place to test branch changes without setting up a permanent environment. It can also provide a command for running the test instance locally.

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is n8n-io/n8n's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on n8n itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything n8n configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is Bash(pnpm nathan:*), Bash(node scripts/nathan.mjs:*), Bash(git diff:*), Read.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium

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:nathan 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 8d 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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
