n8n Official Skills

n8n Official Skills is the official skill repository from n8n, Apache-2.0 licensed, covering the n8n automation platform end to end. It includes 14 skills such as n8n-agents-official for AI Agent nodes, n8n-expressions-official, n8n-error-handling-official, n8n-debugging-official, n8n-subworkflows-official, n8n-credentials-and-security-official, n8n-data-tables-official, and guides for extending n8n with MCP and managing the workflow lifecycle.

The repo ships with Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw plugin formats plus hooks, so skills drop straight into the major agent harnesses. It complements rather than replaces the existing community n8n-skills entry in the catalog, which covers a single-maintainer collection; this is the vendor-maintained source of truth that versions with n8n itself.

Honest limitations: it is n8n-specific, so agents working in LangGraph, raw APIs, or other orchestration layers get no value here. Skill quality tracks n8n releases, and fast-moving node schemas can leave some skills slightly behind. Like all workflow automation, the skills assume you run an n8n instance and understand its credential model.

Install with the skills CLI or clone github.com/n8n-io/skills and copy the skill folders into your agent's skills directory. Plugin formats for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw are included.
