10x-n8n-skill is a production-grade AI skill plugin built by the 10x Team that transforms natural language descriptions into fully deployed n8n workflows. It works with Claude Code, OpenCode, and other AI coding assistants — and is cross-model compatible with DeepSeek, Claude Haiku/Sonnet/Opus, GPT-4/5, Gemini, and more.
"Create a webhook that receives GitHub issues and posts them to Slack"
[INTELLIGENCE] Found: webhook, code, slack (3 nodes, 1 credential) ✓
[DESIGN] Blueprint: webhook-to-action pattern ✓
[PRODUCTION] Built: workflow.json + slackApi credential ✓
[COMPLIANCE] All checks PASS ✓
[OPERATIONS] Deployed: ID 42, Execution #789 SUCCESS ✓
[RECORDS] Checkpoint v1 saved ✓
Workflow "GitHub to Slack" is live.
- 41 atomic commands — single-purpose operations, 1 command = 1 action
- 5 composed skills — intelligent workflows chaining multiple commands
- 6-department factory pipeline — from natural language to deployed workflow
- 546-node source index — comprehensive n8n node catalog
- Git-like tracking engine — branches, commits, diffs, rollbacks
- Project isolation — each workflow gets its own sandboxed folder
- Self-evolving — discovers new nodes and updates its own docs
- Cross-model compatible — works with any LLM, from Haiku to GPT-5
npm install -g 10x-n8n-skillCommands auto-register to your AI coding assistant on install.
git clone https://github.com/10x-Anit/10x-n8n-skill.git
claude --plugin-dir ./10x-n8n-skill/n8n-connect → Connect to your n8n instance
/n8n-new "send daily sales to Slack" → Create a workflow from English
/n8n-publish my-workflow → Deploy to n8n
Or use the guided setup:
/n8n-onboard → Zero to first workflow
Single-purpose operations. 1 command = 1 action.
| Category | Commands |
|---|---|
| Setup | /n8n-connect, /n8n-disconnect, /n8n-status, /n8n-setup |
| Lifecycle | /n8n-new, /n8n-import, /n8n-modify, /n8n-checkpoint, /n8n-publish, /n8n-rollback |
| Credentials | /n8n-env, /n8n-cred-setup |
| API | /n8n-workflows, /n8n-workflow, /n8n-execute, /n8n-executions, /n8n-credentials, /n8n-tags, /n8n-variables, /n8n-export |
| Tracking | /n8n-init, /n8n-sync, /n8n-commit, /n8n-diff, /n8n-log, /n8n-branch |
| Factory | /n8n-agent, /n8n-agent-status, /n8n-discover, /n8n-update-docs |
Intelligent workflows that chain multiple commands together.
| Skill | What It Does |
|---|---|
/n8n-factory |
Full 6-department pipeline: natural language → deployed workflow |
/n8n-lifecycle |
Guided create → modify → test → checkpoint → publish cycle |
/n8n-onboard |
First-time setup: install → connect → initialize → first workflow |
/n8n-diagnose |
Debug failing workflows: check executions, trace errors, suggest fixes |
/n8n-evolve |
Self-update: discover new nodes, pull latest docs, rebuild index |
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PROJECT ISOLATION │
│ projects/<slug>/ — 1 folder per workflow │
│ original → draft → checkpoint → publish │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ TRACKING ENGINE (.n8n-track/) │
│ Git-like: branches, commits, diffs, logs │
│ Context index: file:line → semantic tags │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ N8N FACTORY (6 Departments) │
│ Intelligence → Design → Production → │
│ Compliance → Operations → Records │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
| # | Department | Duty |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Intelligence | Research nodes, find doc URLs, verify types |
| 2 | Design | Blueprint: node order, connections, positions |
| 3 | Production | Build JSON, create credentials, wire everything |
| 4 | Compliance | Validate params, creds, connections before deploy |
| 5 | Operations | Deploy to n8n API, run test execution |
| 6 | Records | Save checkpoint, update tracking, log results |
Compliance failure → back to Production (max 3 retries). After 3 → halt + report.
projects/my-workflow/
├── original/workflow.json ← NEVER modified (rollback point)
├── draft/workflow.json ← ALL changes happen here
├── checkpoints/v1.json ← Confirmed-working versions
├── .env ← Secrets (never committed)
└── credentials/cred-map.json ← Node → credential ID mapping
- Original is immutable — always rollback-safe
/n8n-publishauto-checkpoints before pushing- Credentials created via API from
.env— secrets never in workflow JSON
The skill updates itself as n8n changes:
/n8n-discover → Fetch node types from your n8n instance
/n8n-update-docs → Pull latest params from docs.n8n.io
/n8n-evolve --full → Run both + rebuild context index
Node catalog (docs/nodes/node-catalog.json) has doc_url for every node — agents web-search official docs when local reference is insufficient.
All commands use a universal instruction format optimized for any LLM:
CONTEXT: 1-line scope
REQUIRES: dependencies
STEPS: numbered, 1 action each
RULES: hard constraints
REFERENCE: file paths
| Model Size | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Small (DeepSeek, Haiku) | Follow steps literally, no ambiguity |
| Large (Opus, GPT-5, Sonnet) | IF/VERIFY/RULES trigger reasoning chains |
| Token budget | Most commands 20-40 lines (~200-400 tokens) |
| Platform | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Plugin format: .claude-plugin/ + commands, skills, agents |
| OpenCode | Auto-installs to ~/.config/opencode/commands/ |
| Other AI UIs | Standard .md files with YAML frontmatter |
| MCP | .mcp.json for n8n API + user MCP servers |
| CLI | 10x-n8n connect/status/disconnect/config |
| Setup | Details |
|---|---|
| Cloud | Any paid plan (Starter+) with API access enabled |
| Self-hosted | n8n running locally or on a server, API key generated |
| API key | Settings → n8n API → Create API Key |
