n8n:create-skill
Guides users through creating effective Agent Skills. Use when you want to create, write, or author a new skill, or asks about skill structure, best practices, or SKILL.md format.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "n8n-io/n8n:create-skill" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n /tmp/n8n && ln -s /tmp/n8n/.agents/skills/create-skill ~/.claude/skills/n8n:create-skillFrom README
Creating skills Skills are markdown (plus optional scripts) that teach the agent a focused workflow. Keep SKILL.md short—the context window is shared with chat, code, and other skills. Where skills live | Location | When to use | |----------|-------------| | .agents/skills/ / | Default for n8n: team-shared, versioned, agent-neutral source. | | .claude/plugins/n8n/skills/ / | Claude-specific override, or a generated symlink to .agents/skills/ /. | | .opencode/skills/ / | OpenCode-specific override only. Shared skills stay in .agents/skills/ /. | | /.claude/skills/ / | Personal skill for Claude Code across all projects. | | /.config/opencode/skills/ / | Personal skill for OpenCode across all projects. | | /.cursor/skills/ / | Optional personal skill for Cursor only, global to your machine. | Do not put custom skills in /.cursor/skills-cursor/—that is reserved for Cursor’s built-in skills. Prefer .agents/skills/ for anything that should match how the rest of the team works.
