n8nctl skills

Install this CLI's AI-agent skill into Claude, Cursor, and other agents

Synopsis

Install the n8nctl agent skill so AI coding agents know how to drive this CLI.

The cross-agent way (recommended) is Vercel's installer, which detects every agent you have and is always up to date:

npx skills add jjuanrivvera/n8n-cli

This built-in command writes the bundled skill directly, without Node:

n8nctl skills install # Claude Code (project ./.claude/skills) n8nctl skills install --global # Claude Code (~/.claude/skills) n8nctl skills install --agent cursor --global

Options
