deploy

deploy is a skill for Claude Code from neurawork-git/n8n-autopilot. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,152 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment procedure for sending an n8n workflow file to n8n, checking the remote workflow, and testing it. n8n is a tool for connecting services into automated workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps find a workflow file, validate it strictly, push it to n8n, verify the remote state, and run a test URL or an explicitly requested production test.
Why use it?
It adds mandatory validation before changing the remote workflow and separates normal testing from optional production activation. This reduces the chance of deploying an invalid 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

deploy 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 179 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deploy Workflow

Push a local .workflow.ts to n8n via n8nac, verify remote state, run a live test.

Model-invocable, with a user gate on activation. The push itself is guarded fail-closed by the PreToolUse hooks (env-gate, push-gate for drift, push-lint-gate) and lands as a draft — the published version stays live. That is why Claude may run this skill when the user asks to deploy in plain words. Activation and the production test are the irreversible part: run step 8 only when the user explicitly asked for it (--activate / --prod or "aktivieren" / "activate" in their request). Otherwise stop after step 7 and ask once whether to activate. (Before 5.6.2 the skill carried disable-model-invocation: true; CLAUDE.md routed plain-language deploy requests to it anyway, so they were refused.)

Steps

1. Resolve workflow

  • File path (e.g., workflows/create-lead.workflow.ts) — use directly
  • Workflow name (e.g., create lead) — find matching .workflow.ts in workflows/

If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it. Otherwise, ask the user.

2. Validate before push (mandatory)

npx n8nac skills validate workflows/<name>.workflow.ts --strict --json

If validation fails → stop and report. Do not push with validation errors. For interpreting the error (false-positives, expression vs schema errors, auto-sanitization, bulk fixes), consult the companion n8n-architect skill's Common Mistakes — n8nac's raw validator messages are often terse.

2b. Expect the push-lint gate (runs inside push, fail-closed)

npx n8nac push is wrapped by a PreToolUse hook that compiles the file and refuses the push when (1) a node type or typeVersion is missing on the running instance, (2) a top-level parameter does not exist for the node's typeVersion (n8n ignores it silently), or (3) the design lint fails — no error strategy on a top-level workflow with external calls, continueOnFail without a downstream error check, unwired error output, orphan node, unbalanced expression, availableInMCP not true. Read the BLOCK <rule> <node> <message> lines, fix the .workflow.ts, push again. Rules and fix paths: docs/rules/gates.md. The bypass (N8N_AUTOPILOT_SKIP_LINT=1) exists for the user, not for the agent.

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.

deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository neurawork-git/n8n-autopilot (18 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 2,152 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
