Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# n8n Automation Skill Build, test, and deploy n8n workflows via REST API with incremental testing. --- ## When This Skill Loads (DO THIS IMMEDIATELY) ### Step 1: Read Reference Files ``` Use the Read tool to read these files NOW: 1. Read references/pitfalls.md (critical command format rules) 2. Read references/build-process.md (step-by-step build workflow) ``` ### Step 2: Check .env Configuration ``` Read the .env file in the working directory to verify: - N8N_API_URL is set - N8N_API_KEY is set - N8N_CREDENTIALS_TEMPLATE_URL is set ``` If any values are missing, ask the user for ALL of them in a single prompt. ### Step 3: Create a Todo List After understanding the user's request, create a todo list using TaskCreate. ``` SKILL LOADS -> READ FILES IMMEDIATELY -> CHECK .env -> THEN respond to user ``` --- ## Critical Rules ### 1. USE THE TOOLS THE USER SPECIFIES **If the user mentions specific tools, nodes, or services - YOU MUST USE THEM.** ``` User says "use Apify" -> You use Apify node User says "use OpenAI" -> You use OpenAI Chat Model ``` Never substitute, skip, or defer user-requested tools. ### 2. NEVER Simplify When Hitting Errors - FIX THE ISSUE ``` …

How to install
mdr add naveedharri/benai-skills/n8n@sha256:a0da1632a71b5141The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.a3b1e15, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
