Comprehensive, actively maintained n8n skills for AI assistants. 10 specialized skills, community fixes, and weekly updates synced with n8n releases.
n8n-skills-pro
The most comprehensive, actively maintained n8n skills for AI assistants.
Why n8n-skills-pro?
Existing n8n skills projects have great content but suffer from:
- Infrequent updates - n8n releases almost daily, skills fall behind
- Outdated information - "Python has no external libraries" is no longer true
- Scattered knowledge - Best practices spread across multiple repos
- Missing community fixes - Workarounds discovered but not documented
n8n-skills-pro solves this by consolidating the best skills, adding community fixes, and maintaining monthly updates synced with n8n releases.

Quick Start
Installation
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Chol369/n8n-skills-pro.git
# Copy skills to Claude Code
cp -r n8n-skills-pro/.claude ~/.claude/Verify Installation
Ask Claude Code:
"What n8n workflow pattern should I use for a Stripe webhook?"
If Claude responds with detailed webhook processing patterns, the skills are loaded.

Unique Content
Python External Libraries
Unlike other skills that say "Python has no external libraries", we document the working solution:
# Enable in docker-compose.yml
n8n-runner:
image: n8nio/runners:latest
environment:
- N8N_RUNNERS_EXTERNAL_ALLOW=*Now use pandas, numpy, requests:
import pandas as pd
import requests
data = requests.get('https://api.example.com/data').json()
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df['processed'] = df['value'] * 2
return [{'json': row} for row in df.to_dict('records')]See community-fixes/python-external-libs for complete setup.
