LABSCO SUMMARY
Nine skills are the operational side: workflow-builder and planning create and edit workflows from a workspace source file, data-table-manager handles the CSV/XLSX/JSON-backed Data Tables feature, debugging-executions reads failed or wrong-output runs, credential-setup-with-computer-use walks a user through fetching OAuth client IDs and secrets from a provider's console, and n8n-cli and n8n-docs-assistant cover instance management and product questions from n8n's own docs. Eighteen more skills, everything carrying the "n8n:" prefix, are for people working on n8n itself: authoring database migrations, adding RBAC scope decorators to REST endpoints, checking whether a community PR is ready for review, writing ESLint rules for the community-node plugin, and drafting Instance-AI eval cases, among others.
If you came here to automate workflows with an agent, the "n8n:" group is not for you and can be ignored entirely; if you're contributing to the n8n repository, the reverse is true. Of the 28 live skills, 10 need nothing beyond the agent, 4 require an account credential, 4 talk to an MCP service, and 7 assume a local tool is already installed; the classifier could not verify the remaining 3.
READ THE FULL ANALYSIS
One skill we can't describe. n8n ships 28 skills, but only 27 carry a description in their frontmatter — the 28th has none, so it isn't represented in the counts above by name. That is a gap in what n8n published, not one we introduced.

SETUP
Showing all 27 skills
credential-setup-with-computer-use
Opens a real browser and walks through the provider's own website with you to create the keys n8n needs, lifting each secret straight off the page so it is never pasted into a chat.
data-table-manager
n8n can keep its own simple tables of rows and columns, and this looks after them — creating, filling, querying and clearing them — with column names a workflow can still read later.
debugging-executions
When an automation fails, or quietly hands back nothing at all, this tracks down the actual cause and insists on a fresh run to prove the fix instead of declaring victory.
n8n-cli
Operates an n8n automation server from a terminal rather than its web interface, so anything you would otherwise click can be put in a script.
n8n-docs-assistant
Answers a question about setting up or running n8n out of n8n's current documentation, and names the page it came from, rather than reciting it from memory.
n8n:community-pr-readiness-check
The gate an outside contribution passes before a human reviews it — agreement signed, title and description in order, tests present — after which it is routed to a team or closed with a reason.
n8n:content-design
Writes and checks the small pieces of text an interface is made of: button labels, error messages, tooltips, and the screen you see when there is nothing there yet.
n8n:conventions
A cheat sheet of the house rules for writing code inside n8n's own codebase, for when you want the pattern reminded rather than the whole handbook reread.
n8n:create-community-node-lint-rule
Adds a new automatic code check for community-built n8n nodes — the check itself, its tests, its place in the rule list, and its documentation page.
n8n:create-instance-ai-eval
n8n has an AI that builds workflows for its users. This writes a test case for that AI, tried against a real build first so it only goes red when the AI genuinely cannot do the job.
n8n:create-issue
Files a bug or a feature request where n8n's team actually tracks it, written onto their house template in short, plain English.
n8n:create-pr
n8n's build rejects a pull request whose title is not in the house format, so this writes the title and fills in the description before the request is opened.
n8n:create-skill
A skill is a short document that teaches an AI assistant one specific job, and this is how to write one so the assistant actually finds it and follows it.
n8n:db-migrations
Changing n8n's database means writing a migration that has to work on two different database engines and get past a review team — this is the rulebook for getting one through.
n8n:experiments
n8n tries a new editor feature on a slice of its users first, and this handles the code behind one of those trials — from setting it up to deleting it once the trial is over.
n8n:human-like-code-review
Reads a proposed change the way an experienced reviewer would — the problem first, then the code — and leaves the feedback in a file for you to work through.
n8n:linear-issue
Everything hanging off one work ticket, gathered in a single pass: the discussion, the screenshots, the videos turned into text, the linked code, and how big the job looks.
n8n:loom-transcript
Paste the link to a Loom screen recording and get back, in writing, everything that was said in it.
n8n:node-add-oauth
Lets people connect an n8n integration by signing in to the service with their own account, instead of hunting down an API key to paste in.
n8n:protect-endpoints
Every route into n8n has to check what the caller is actually allowed to do, and this is the rule for attaching that check — miss it and you have shipped a way around permissions.
n8n:reproduce-bug
Turns a bug report into a repeatable proof that the bug is real, so the next person is working from evidence rather than a description.
n8n:setup-mcps
Wires an assistant into the ticket tracker, documents and design files an n8n engineer works in day to day.
n8n:spec-driven-development
A feature's written plan is supposed to still be true after the code ships, and this is the discipline of keeping the two honest with each other.
planned-task-runtime
When a long job finishes quietly in the background, this decides what happens next: one clean summary if it worked, another attempt at only the part that failed if it did not.
planning
A request that needs several automations, built in a particular order, gets laid out as a plan and put in front of you before any of it is built.
post-build-flow
The step between an automation being built and an automation being trusted: nothing here counts as working until it has actually run.
workflow-builder
Builds or changes a single n8n automation, written out as code rather than dragged together by hand on the canvas.
No skill in this package matches that.
