N8n Skills

n8n Skills is a free, open-source collection of 7 complementary skills for Claude Code, Claude.ai, and Claude Desktop that turns Claude into an expert n8n assistant. It covers 525+ nodes, 2,653+ templates, and production-tested workflow patterns, providing AI-assisted guidance on expression syntax, MCP tools, workflow architecture, validation, node configuration, and JavaScript/Python code patterns. The skills are designed for developers and automation engineers using n8n. Instead of generic system instructions, each skill activates only when contextually relevant—focusing on specific needs like debugging expressions or configuring node dependencies. Installation is straightforward: one command via Claude Code plugin, direct file copy for local Claude installs, or manual upload for Claude.ai and Claude Desktop. Core features include: expression syntax mastery ($json, $node, $now), MCP tools navigation, 5 proven workflow architectural patterns (webhook, HTTP API, database, AI agent, scheduled), validation error interpretation, node property dependency handling, and production-tested JavaScript and Python code patterns. The skills work best with n8n-mcp installed and require a Claude Pro plan. What sets n8n Skills apart is its deep specialization—it provides battle-tested patterns and node-specific configuration guidance rather than vague AI assistance. It's MIT-licensed and community-driven, making it ideal for n8n users who want expert-level AI help without the cost of proprietary alternatives.
