Use when the user says /setup-mcps or asks to set up MCP servers for n8n./n8n-cliUse the n8n CLI to manage workflows, credentials, executions, and more on an n8n instance. Use when the user asks to interact with n8n, automate workflows, manage credentials, or operate their instance from the command line./agent-builderLoad before calling build-agent for a new or existing n8n Agent. Governs prerequisite creation, faithful handoff of the user's request, agent targeting across turns, builder questions, testing, and publishing. Use directly for routine follow-ups when the conversation already/config-evalsBuilds and maintains configuration-based evaluations on a workflow with the eval-config tool. Use when the user asks to set up, add, view, change, or remove an evaluation, score, grade, or judge a workflow's output, or measure answer quality against a test dataset. This is the/credential-recipe-researchLookup procedure for Simplified Custom Auth recipe fields — sources the auth template, the key-issuing docsUrl and an auth-rejecting testUrl from the provider's real documentation instead of memory.

Use when a user needs OAuth apps, API keys, client IDs, client secrets, or other credential values from an external service console.

/data-table-managerLoad before calling data-tables or parse-file. Use for natural standalone requests like "what data tables do I have?", "show/list my tables", or "what columns are in this table?", and whenever the user asks to list, show, create, inspect, import, seed, query, update, clean up,/debugging-executionsDebug failed or wrong-output workflow executions using executions tools. Load when the user reports execution failures, unexpected node output, empty parameter values after a successful run, or a node showing a red or failed expression error./intent-recognitionClassifies automation requests using two decisions: anchor (which primitive owns the top-level control flow — workflow-anchored, agent-anchored, needs-clarification, or out-of-scope) and embeds_other (whether the other primitive appears embedded inside — an agent step inside a/n8n-docs-assistantAnswers n8n product, setup, credential, node, hosting, API, and usage questions from current n8n docs. Load n8n-docs via load_tool before calling it (search "n8n docs" if not visible). Use when the user asks how to configure, set up, troubleshoot, or understand n8n behavior,/planned-task-runtimeHandles system follow-up turns: planned-task-follow-up (synthesize, replan, build-workflow, checkpoint), background-task-completed, running-tasks context, and create-tasks silence rules. Load whenever any of these tags appear or after calling create-tasks./planningONLY for coordinated multi-artifact work: multiple workflows with dependencies, shared data-table schema/migration across tasks, or the user explicitly asked to review a plan first. Load create-tasks via load_tool before calling it (search "create tasks" if not visible). Do NOT/post-build-flowHandles workflow verification and setup after build-workflow succeeds, or when the message contains workflow-verification-follow-up or workflow-setup-required. Load after direct builds, when verificationReadiness requires action, or on orchestrator verify/setup follow-up turns./workflow-builderLoad before calling build-workflow. Default path for all single-workflow work: new one-off workflows, existing-workflow edits, verification repairs, and workflow-local data tables.

Agents
4developerUse this agent for any n8n development task - frontend (Vue 3), backend (Node.js/TypeScript), workflow engine, node creation, or full-stack features. The agent automatically applies n8n conventions and best practices. Examples: <example>user: 'Add a new button to the workflowlinear-issue-triagerUse this agent proactively when a Linear issue is created, updated, or needs comprehensive analysis. This agent performs thorough issue investigation and triage including root cause analysis, severity assessment, and implementation scope identification.prompt-caching`Agent.promptCaching()` generates provider-specific `providerOptions` for Anthropic and OpenAI so callers don't have to hand-write the Vercel AI SDK's raw `cacheControl` / `promptCacheKey` shapes. It layers on top of the existing `providerOptions` escape hatch — nothing here isCHANNEL_INTEGRATION_TESTSThis guide explains how to add chat platform integration tests for agent channel integrations.

What does n8n mean?
Short answer: It means "nodemation" and is pronounced as n-eight-n.
Long answer: "I get that question quite often (more often than I expected) so I decided it is probably best to answer it here. While looking for a good name for the project with a free domain I realized very quickly that all the good ones I could think of were already taken. So, in the end, I chose nodemation. 'node-' in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses Node.js and '-mation' for 'automation' which is what the project is supposed to help with. However, I did not like how long the name was and I could not imagine writing something that long every time in the CLI. That is when I then ended up on 'n8n'." - Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO, n8n.io

FAQ
n8n is a Claude Code plugin with 14 hand-picked skills for automation work, indexed on Flowy. Install it with the command on its page. It includes setup-mcps, n8n-cli, agent-builder. Its skills do not fire on their own yet. Request auto-invocation to have Flowy route them as you prompt. Free and open source.
- What is n8n?
- Fair-code platform to build and deploy AI agents and workflows. Combine a visual canvas with custom code, run it self-hosted or in the cloud, and connect to 1500+ integrations. AI automation you can trust with real work, from prototype to production.
- How do I install n8n?
- Run these in Claude Code: npx -y skills add n8n-io/n8n --agent claude-code. Then prompt normally.
- Does n8n auto-invoke its skills?
- Not yet. It is indexed on Flowy as a plain plugin. Request auto-invocation on its page and Flowy will route its skills for you as you prompt.
- Is n8n free?
- Yes. Flowy is free and open source, with nothing gated. You can read every skill in full before you install.
