N8n Skills

• You are building or debugging n8n workflows and want AI-assisted guidance on node selection, configuration, and best practices.
• You need to quickly identify which n8n node (built-in or community) fits a specific task, such as fetching API data, processing files, or sending notifications.
• You want to implement a common automation pattern — like webhook processing, email automation, or database synchronization — and need a starting point with concrete examples.
• You are integrating AI capabilities (e.g. OpenAI, AI Agents, Vector Stores) into an n8n workflow and need guidance on how those nodes connect.

• You need real-time access to the n8n node registry or live documentation — this skill covers a fixed set of 10 built-in nodes and 30+ community packages at the time of authoring.
• You are looking for a tool that executes or deploys n8n workflows directly; this skill provides knowledge and guidance only, not workflow execution.

Detailed documentation on the 10 most commonly used built-in n8n nodes, including their configuration options, parameters, and typical use cases. Helps agents answer precise questions about node behavior without guessing.

A curated index of popular n8n community packages with categorization to help you discover extended functionality beyond the built-in node set. Useful for finding integrations with niche or specialized services.

Six pre-described workflow patterns covering HTTP data fetching, email automation, database synchronization, webhook processing, AI assistant integration, and file processing — each with the relevant nodes and a usage example.

A library of 20 popular workflow templates sourced from n8n.io, organized into categories: AI & Chatbots, Social Media & Video, Data Processing & Analysis, and Communication & Collaboration.

Practical configuration snippets and best-practice guidance for common node setups, reducing trial-and-error when wiring together complex automation pipelines.

Use the AI Assistant Integration pattern to understand how AI Agent, OpenAI, Vector Store, and Embeddings nodes connect. The skill provides the node relationships and configuration context needed to build a RAG-backed conversational assistant in n8n.

Follow the Webhook Processing pattern to learn how to receive external events via the Webhook node, transform the payload with Set, and forward alerts to Slack — with concrete node configuration examples included.

The Database Synchronization pattern shows how to combine Schedule Trigger, HTTP Request, Postgres, and MySQL nodes to build a reliable cross-system data sync pipeline.

Use the Email Automation pattern with Email Trigger (IMAP), IF, and Gmail nodes to build a workflow that monitors an inbox, applies conditional logic, and sends automated replies or forwards messages.
