Collecting history — the radar snapshots this repo daily. The trend line appears after 3 days of data (1 so far).
What it is
This repository contains 14 complementary Claude Code skills, plus an always-on router skill and a hooks enforcement layer, designed to teach AI assistants how to build production-ready n8n workflows using the n8n-mcp MCP server and how to deploy self-hosted n8n instances.
How it works
The skills cover topics such as n8n expression syntax, MCP tools, workflow patterns, validation, node configuration, and code in various languages. They are intended to guide users through correct usage, parameter formats, and common pitfalls. An enforcement layer hooks into Claude Code / Codex plugin to surface guidance before tool use and after validation.
