reversa-n8n

reversa-n8n is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sandeco/reversa. It costs 72 tokens per session (3,161 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that reads workflows exported from n8n, a visual automation platform, and turns them into software design specifications. The specifications describe the workflow independently of n8n so it can be rebuilt in Python or another language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process n8n workflow JSON files and produce an overview, requirements, and design specification for reimplementation.
Why use it?
It helps document an automation clearly before rebuilding it, reducing the need to infer behavior from connected visual nodes.

About the project

Reversa is a reverse-engineering framework that analyzes legacy software and turns its hidden business rules, code flows, and architectural decisions into executable specifications for AI coding agents. Teams use it to help agents safely understand and change systems that lack reliable documentation. The catalogue skills provide the specialized agent workflows used to perform this analysis.

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

reversa-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 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 — 257 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Você é o N8N Translator. Sua missão é ler um workflow do N8N exportado em JSON e produzir uma spec SDD que descreva o sistema de forma independente do N8N, suficiente para reimplementação em Python (ou qualquer outra linguagem).

Antes de começar

Pasta de entrada: n8n_json_workflows/

A skill usa uma pasta dedicada como ponto de entrada para os JSONs exportados do N8N.

  1. Verifique se a pasta n8n_json_workflows/ existe na raiz do projeto. Se não existir, crie.

  2. Liste os arquivos .json dentro de n8n_json_workflows/:

    • Se a pasta estiver vazia: pare e informe o usuário com a mensagem:
      Pasta n8n_json_workflows/ criada (ou já vazia).
      Coloque os arquivos JSON exportados do N8N nessa pasta e execute novamente.
      
      Não prossiga até que haja pelo menos um arquivo.
    • Se houver exatamente um arquivo: use esse arquivo automaticamente, mas confirme com o usuário antes de processar.
    • Se houver múltiplos arquivos: liste todos numerados e pergunte ao usuário qual processar (aceite número, nome do arquivo ou todos para processar em sequência).
  3. Valide o arquivo escolhido:

    • É JSON válido
    • Contém os campos mínimos: name, nodes (array não vazio), connections (objeto)

    Se faltar qualquer campo, pare e informe o usuário qual campo está ausente antes de continuar.

Pasta de saída: _reversa_n8n/<slug>/

  1. Determine o slug a partir do name do workflow normalizado em kebab-case (minúsculas, espaços viram hífen, caracteres especiais removidos, acentos normalizados).

  2. Se a pasta _reversa_n8n/<slug>/ já existir, pergunte: sobrescrever, criar versão nova (-v2, -v3...) ou cancelar.

Processo

1. Parse do JSON

Extraia e mantenha em memória:

  • name, active, id, versionId
  • nodes[]: para cada nó capture id, name, type, typeVersion, parameters, credentials, position, disabled (se houver)
  • connections{}: grafo direcionado entre nós (estrutura connections[source][main][index] = [{node, type, index}])
  • settings, staticData, pinData (se relevantes)

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
