Frequently Asked Questions
FAQPage SchemaHow to install n8n skills?▼
Run `npx skills add n8n-io/skills --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills globally. You also need an n8n instance (2.2.0+) with the instance-level MCP server enabled.
What do the official n8n skills do?▼
They teach your coding agent the correct patterns for building n8n workflows: node configuration, expressions, loops, error handling, credentials, and debugging. This prevents common mistakes like dropped connections, leaked tokens, and silent failures.
Do n8n skills work with Claude Code and Codex?▼
Yes. The repository ships plugins for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, and the plain markdown skills work with any agent that supports the SKILL.md standard.
Do I need an n8n instance to use these skills?▼
Yes. You need any n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted, version 2.2.0 or later) with the instance-level MCP server enabled so your agent can build and test workflows directly.
Can non-developers use n8n skills?▼
Yes. Once installed, you describe the automation you want in plain English and your agent applies the skills to build, validate, and test the workflow for you.
