sc-n8n

sc-n8n is a skill for Claude Code from rahmanef63/si-coder-agent. It costs 70 tokens per session (1,234 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for controlling a self-hosted n8n installation. n8n is a workflow automation system that connects services and runs tasks when events occur.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect, create, update, and activate workflows; check runs; manage credentials, projects, tags, variables, and data tables; and export or import workflow packages.
Why use it?
It lets developers manage workflows and related n8n data from scripts or the terminal instead of relying only on the web interface.

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

sc-n8n 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 today.

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 — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

sc-n8n — n8n control via @n8n/cli

Use the official @n8n/cli binary (n8n-cli) against the user-selected n8n instance. Do not assume a fixed hostname, backup location, deployment platform, shell profile, project, or workflow set.

Required connection state

Setting Purpose
N8N_URL Base URL of the selected n8n instance, for example https://n8n.example.com
N8N_API_KEY Public API key for that instance; keep it in the selected SI-Coder credential store or another secure local source
~/.n8n-cli/config.json Optional CLI-local configuration; never treat it as the only possible source of truth

Install the binary only when needed:

npm i -g @n8n/cli
# or use: npx @n8n/cli ...

Auth resolution

When diagnosing which account/instance is active, inspect explicit CLI flags first, then environment variables, then CLI config. Environment variables can override a value saved in the CLI config, so a newly written config value may appear ignored when an older environment variable is still present.

If the API returns 401 or an invalid-signature error, do not guess that the header format is wrong. Verify the selected instance/account, then create or rotate an API key from the official n8n UI and store it through the safe SI-Coder credential handoff. Never print the key during verification.

Connect / verify

n8n-cli config show
n8n-cli workflow list --format=id-only

A successful read-only workflow listing is the preferred smoke check before mutations.

Command surface

Every command supports --help. Common output formats are table, json, and id-only when supported by the installed CLI version.

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.
