n8n-mode

Skill18 starsChanged 44 days agoMITView on GitHub

Switch the per-session n8n mode on, off, or show its status. While it is off, n8n-autopilot stays out of the session (no SessionStart probes, no feedback Stop gate, no feedback capture) — the safety gates on n8nac commands always apply. Use when the user says "n8n mode on", "n8n-Modus an", "start n8n work", "I want to work on n8n workflows now", "turn n8n off", "why does n8n-autopilot fire here", or before n8n work in a project monorepo.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

n8n mode — n8n-autopilot only where n8n work happens

Run, with the argument the user gave (default on):

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/n8n-mode.sh" <on|off|status> "${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}"

on runs the probes against the instance and takes about a minute — give the Bash call a 5-minute timeout. Show the output. With on it also runs the SessionStart probes once — follow any AUTOPILOT_ACTION_REQUIRED: line exactly as CLAUDE.md "Auto-Reactions on SessionStart" says.

How the mode works

Repo / sessionProbes at session startFeedback Stop gate + captureSafety gates on n8nac commands
always-on repoyesyesyes
other repo, mode offno (one hint line if an n8n workspace sits in a subfolder)noyes
other repo, mode on (this skill or first n8nac command)once, when switched on via this skillyesyes

Always-on (the project dir is an n8n workspace) — any of:

  • workflows/ in the project root holding *.workflow.ts — a dedicated n8n repo, or a monorepo's n8n/ folder opened as its own project
  • n8nac-config.json in the project root
  • N8N_AUTOPILOT_MODE=always in the env block of .claude/settings.json
  • .n8n-autopilot/mode containing the line always

A session in a monorepo root (workflows under n8n/workflows/) starts with the mode off. When this skill switches it on there, it runs the probes inside the n8n/ folder and takes N8NAC_ENVIRONMENT from n8n/.claude/settings.json if the session has none — the session's own shell still lacks it, so pass --env <name> or prefix N8NAC_ENVIRONMENT=<name> on n8nac calls.

N8N_AUTOPILOT_MODE=off keeps the mode off, even after an n8nac command.

The first n8nac command of a session switches the mode on automatically (silent, no probes). Run this skill instead when you want the setup/drift probes before you start.
