Install it

View source on GitHub ↗

git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/Growth-Today/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills
git -C /tmp/claude-skills sparse-checkout set "gt-n8n-builder"
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/gt-n8n-builder
cp -R "/tmp/claude-skills/gt-n8n-builder/." ~/.claude/skills/gt-n8n-builder/

Picked up without a restart. A project skill of the same name is shadowed by your personal one. For one repository only, swap ~/.claude/skills for .claude/skills. Claude Code docs ↗

The folder is the same in every client that implements the format — 46 of them — so if yours is not above, only the destination changes.

Before you install: this skill will not complete its job on a bare agent. It needs API_KEY, DB_POSTGRESDB_PASSWORD, DYNAPICTURES_API_KEY, N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD, N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY, N8N_PASSWORD, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, which you have to obtain separately.

Cross-Cutting Resources

Resource	When to load
`resources/n8n-core-guide.md`	Core concepts, nodes, credentials, pricing, n8n vs Zapier/Make
`resources/http-api-patterns.md`	HTTP API patterns, external tool integration
`resources/clay-n8n-integration.md`	Clay + n8n patterns, CRM workflows, Slack patterns

Routing Rules

Single topic → load the matching sub-skill
Multi-topic → load all relevant sub-skills and synthesize
General n8n question → load resources/n8n-core-guide.md
"n8n vs Zapier/Make" → load resources/n8n-core-guide.md (has comparison table)

Key Principles

n8n counts per workflow execution, not per step - 10-step workflow = 1 execution
PostgreSQL for production - SQLite only for dev
Queue mode for scaling - separates UI from workers
Self-hosted ~$55-140/month vs cloud $24-120/month
Error handling is non-negotiable - retry + error workflows + dead letter queue

Cost Reference
