@n8n-as-code/skills

Specialized tooling for AI Agents (Cursor, Cline, Copilot) to interact with n8n workflows and nodes.

🛠 Purpose

This package provides a dedicated CLI (n8nac-skills) and programmatic tools designed to:
1. Provide Context: Help AI agents understand n8n node structures.
2. Search Nodes: Find specific n8n nodes and their properties.
3. Initialize Context: Bootstrap developer environments with AGENTS.md, JSON schemas, and snippets.

Installation

``bash npm install @n8n-as-code/skills`

`📖 CLI Usage`

`$3`

Deep Full-Text Search with Smart Keyword Matching across 600+ nodes and 1240+ documentation pages. Optimized for natural language queries, technical terms, and capabilities (e.g., "image generation" finds Google Gemini).

KEY FEATURES: - Comprehensive Keyword Extraction: Finds nodes based on operations (e.g., "generate", "transcribe") and resources (e.g., "image", "video"). - Smart Prioritization: Matches on keywords first, then titles, then content. - Fuzzy Matching: Handles typos and partial terms ("googl shets").

`bash

`Search nodes, docs, and tutorials`


n8nac-skills search "how to generate images"
n8nac-skills search "google sheets"
Filter by type

`$3`


Search and download workflows from the n8nworkflows.xyz community repository (7000+ workflows).

#### workflows search Search workflows using FlexSearch for high-relevance results.

`bash n8nac-skills workflows search "slack notification" n8nac-skills workflows search "AI chatbot telegram" n8nac-skills workflows search "invoice processing" --limit 20 n8nac-skills workflows search "google sheets" --json`

#### workflows info Display detailed information about a specific workflow.

`bash n8nac-skills workflows info 916

`Shows: name, author, tags, download URL`

#### workflows install Download a workflow JSON file.

`bash n8nac-skills workflows install 916 n8nac-skills workflows install 4365 --output my-chatbot.json n8nac-skills workflows install 8088 --force # Overwrite existing`

#### workflows listList available workflows (newest first).

`bash n8nac-skills workflows list n8nac-skills workflows list --limit 50`

Features: - 🔍 7000+ workflows indexed from n8nworkflows.xyz - ⚡ Offline search - FlexSearch powered, < 5ms latency - 📦 Lightweight - ~6MB index (~500KB compressed) - 🎯 High relevance - Smart keyword matching and ranking

`$3`


Find related nodes and documentation.

`bash n8nac-skills related googleSheets

`Returns: Google Drive, Excel, Airtable, related docs`

n8nac-skills related "ai agents"

`Returns: AI-related concepts, nodes, examples`


$3

List available nodes and documentation categories.

`bash

`Summary of nodes and docs`


n8nac-skills list
List all node names

n8nac-skills list --nodes
List all doc categories

n8nac-skills list --docs


$3

Validate workflow JSON files.

`bash n8nac-skills validate workflow.json n8nac-skills validate workflow.json --strict`

`$3`


Update AI Context (AGENTS.md, rule files, snippets).

`bash n8nac-skills update-ai n8nac-skills update-ai --version 1.70.0`

`📁 Data Source`

The Skills CLI uses a pre-generated index of n8n nodes from the official n8n source code. The data is stored in dist/assets/ (generated during build):

- n8n-knowledge-index.json: Unified FlexSearch index for the searchcommand. -n8n-nodes-technical.json: Detailed technical schemas for the getcommand. -n8n-docs-complete.json: Full documentation content.

`🧩 Integration`

`$3`


The main CLI package (

@n8n-as-code/cli) uses this package internally for its init-ai / update-ai

 commands to generate AI context files.
$3

This package is a sync dependency of the

n8n-as-code` VS Code extension, powering its AI features and node indexing.
