n8n Skills (Claude Code)

A set of seven Claude Code skills – on-demand instruction files – that teach Claude how to build n8n workflows correctly. Covers expression syntax, MCP tool usage, workflow patterns, validation, node configuration, JavaScript coding, and Python coding. Skills load only when Claude determines it needs them, keeping token usage low while providing deep context on demand.

Key facts

  • Seven skills: expression syntax, MCP tools expert, workflow patterns, validation, node configuration, JavaScript, Python
  • Installed globally by default, not per-project, so they work across every Claude Code project once set up
  • Built by the same community developer as the n8n MCP server
  • Loaded lazily – Claude only reads them when a task requires that specific knowledge, preserving context window
