n8n skillset for Claude Code to build flawless n8n workflows

What it solves

Building n8n workflows programmatically via AI can be error-prone due to complex expression syntax, incorrect tool usage, and validation loops. This project provides a set of specialized "skills" (knowledge modules) that teach AI assistants—specifically Claude—how to build production-ready n8n workflows and deploy self-hosted instances correctly.

How it works

The project consists of 14 complementary skills and an enforcement layer. These skills act as expert guides for the AI, covering specific domains like JavaScript/Python code nodes, AI agent design, binary data handling, and self-hosting deployment.

An "enforcement layer" uses hooks (Router and Pre/PostToolUse) to proactively nudge the AI toward the correct skill at the moment of decision, ensuring that the AI doesn't just wait for a query but actively applies the best practices for the specific node or tool being used.

Who it’s for

Developers and automation engineers using Claude Code, Claude.ai, or the Claude API who want to automate the creation and management of n8n workflows using the n8n-mcp MCP server.

Highlights

  • Comprehensive Skill Set: 14 specialized modules covering everything from expression syntax and node configuration to error handling and sub-workflows.
  • n8n-mcp Integration: Specifically designed to work with the n8n-mcp server to allow AI to interact with n8n instances.
  • Proactive Guidance: An enforcement layer that uses hooks to trigger reminders and route the AI to the correct skill during the workflow building process.
  • Deployment Support: Includes a dedicated skill for end-to-end production self-hosting of n8n on Linux VMs using Docker Compose and Caddy.
  • Code Node Expertise: Detailed guidance on the critical differences between standard Code nodes and AI-agent-callable Code Tools.

    czlonkowski/n8n-mcp

    n8n‑MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes the full n8n node catalogue (≈2.7 k nodes) as an API. AI models can search nodes/templates, fetch detailed schemas and docs, validate configurations, and even create or update real workflows on a n8n instance. It can be used as a hosted SaaS service or self‑hosted via Docker, and includes safety guidance for AI‑driven workflow editing.

    Masriyan/Claude-Code-CyberSecurity-Skill

    A collection of 20 Claude Code “skills” that embed cybersecurity methodologies (recon, vulnerability scanning, exploit dev, reverse engineering, threat hunting, AI‑LLM security, etc.) into Anthropic’s Claude Code assistant. Install the `skills/*` directories into `~/.claude/skills/` (or project‑local) and Claude will automatically activate the appropriate workflow when you ask a matching prompt, returning ready‑to‑run commands, reports, detection rules, or code. MIT‑licensed, Python‑based helpers, optional external tools (nmap, YARA, Ghidra, etc.), and built‑in safety gates for offensive actions.
