n8n Manager
Use this skill for global n8n instance management. n8n-manager is the source of truth for instances, runtime state, tunnels, API keys, managed owner credentials, default projects, and workflow presentation links.
Responsibility Boundary
- Generated context root hint: not embedded. Use the shell launch directory or the workspace path explicitly given by the user.
- If
n8nacis available, first runnpx --yes n8nac update-aifrom the context root, then readAGENTS.md.update-aiis designed to create or refresh the n8n-as-code block without destroying existing user or agent instructions. - Use the exact
n8n-manager commandandn8nac commandlisted inAGENTS.mdwhen present. Those context-root commands override the portable examples in this skill. - Use
npx --yes @n8n-as-code/n8n-managerfor global instance, auth, runtime, tunnel, project-default, credential, and workflow-presentation operations. - Use
npx --yes n8nac workspace ...only for context-root overrides such as pinned instance, sync folder, and project override. - Use
npx --yes n8nacworkflow commands only after the effective context is ready.
