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.
