n8n-skills

n8n-skills is a skill for Claude Code from nicepkg/ai-workflow. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,005 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference pack for n8n, a workflow automation tool that connects services and processes data through configurable steps called nodes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Design workflows that fetch and transform API data, automate email actions, synchronize databases, and use built-in or community nodes.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand which n8n nodes to use and how to configure them for common workflows. It reduces the need to work out workflow structure and node settings alone.

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-skills 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 Automation Skill Pack

Overview

This skill helps with:

  • Understanding n8n node functionality and usage
  • Finding nodes suitable for specific tasks
  • Learning common workflow patterns
  • Getting node configuration examples
  • Solving workflow design problems

This skill includes:

  • Detailed information on the 10 most commonly used built-in n8n nodes
  • 30+ popular community packages for extended functionality
  • Node configuration examples and best practices
  • Common workflow patterns
  • Node categorization and indexing for both built-in and community nodes

Table of Contents

Common Workflow Patterns

Here are some common workflow patterns you can use as a starting point:

1. HTTP Data Fetching

Fetch data from APIs and process it

Nodes used:

  • HTTP Request
  • Set
  • IF

Example: Use HTTP Request node to fetch data from external APIs, Set node to transform formats, and IF node for conditional logic

2. Email Automation

Monitor emails and auto-respond or forward

Nodes used:

  • Email Trigger (IMAP)
  • Gmail
  • IF

Example: Use Email Trigger to monitor inbox, IF node to filter specific conditions, and Gmail node to auto-reply or forward

3. Database Synchronization

Sync data between different systems

Nodes used:

  • Schedule Trigger
  • HTTP Request
  • Postgres
  • MySQL

Example: Scheduled trigger to read data from one database, transform it, and write to another database

4. Webhook Processing

Receive external webhooks and trigger actions

Nodes used:

  • Webhook
  • Set
  • HTTP Request
  • Slack

Example: Receive webhook events, process data, and send notifications to Slack or other systems

5. AI Assistant Integration

Use AI models to process and generate content

Nodes used:

  • AI Agent
  • OpenAI
  • Vector Store
  • Embeddings OpenAI
