# n8n agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made n8n playbooks for AI agents: review an n8n data table's schema, triage an n8n execution failure, audit your n8n workflows for health with AI. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Work with n8n through its MCP connector, safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/n8n/skills/essentials.md): Sets up how the assistant uses your n8n instance: it confirms the instance and project first, keeps searches small and asks before changing workflows, runs or data tables.
- [Review an n8n data table's schema](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/n8n/skills/data-table-schema-review.md): Checks an n8n data table's columns against the workflows that read and write it, finds drift and unused columns, and proposes changes that wait for your approval before anything is edited.
- [Triage an n8n execution failure](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/n8n/skills/execution-failure-triage.md): Works back from one failed n8n run to the first node that errored, the input it received, and whether the failure is a one-off or keeps recurring. It asks before editing, re-running or publishing anything.
- [Audit your n8n workflows for health with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/n8n/skills/workflow-health-audit.md): Reviews your n8n workflows read-only to find failing, silent, stale and duplicate automations, then returns a prioritised cleanup list. It makes no changes and waits for your explicit yes before anything is touched.
- [Check an n8n workflow before you publish it](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/n8n/skills/workflow-release-readiness.md): Compares an n8n workflow draft with the live version, validates it, tests it on pinned data, and ends in a go or no-go. It asks before publishing or running anything that touches live systems.

### What is a n8n agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each n8n skill describes one job, which n8n tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the n8n skills change anything on their own?

2 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in n8n.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect n8n; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the n8n MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the n8n MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The n8n MCP setup guide covers every client.
