n8n

SKILL.md

Design and deploy automation workflows, custom nodes, and integrations on the n8n platform.

Supports 500+ native integrations across APIs, databases, cloud services, and communication tools, plus custom nodes in TypeScript for organization-specific logic

Includes core node types for data manipulation (Code, Set, If, Switch, Merge), triggers (Webhook, Schedule, Manual, Error), and AI operations (LangChain agents, vector stores, document loaders)

Offers multiple execution models: manual, webhook, schedule, event-based, and error-triggered workflows with modular sub-workflow patterns

Provides Code node execution in JavaScript and Python for inline transformations, API calls, and data processing without building custom nodes

Covers self-hosted and cloud deployment options with queue mode scaling, database configuration (SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL), and monitoring strategies for high-volume automation
