AF n8n-automation-secure

Secure n8n workflow automation integration for coding tasks. This skill implements enterprise-grade security with credential isolation, input validation, audit logging, rate limiting, and granular permissions. Use when building automated workflows, integrating n8n into development pipelines, executing existing workflows, modifying workflow configurations, or creating new automation solutions. Triggers on phrases like "create n8n workflow", "run n8n workflow", "integrate n8n", "automate with n8n", "modify n8n workflow", "execute workflow".

How to improve

  1. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 51/100

Will not run. References files that are not bundled: scripts/audit-logger.sh
  • 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: scripts/audit-logger.sh
  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 30Running it twice. 5 mutating operations with no state check
  • 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
  • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
  • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
  • 85Steps. 68 steps, 1 vague phrases
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place

  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low 16 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

Quality signals

  • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
  • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
  • -237 emoji in the instructions: noise for the model
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +5Description quotes 6 example trigger phrases
  • +3Description length 544: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 50 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 68 items
  • +4Has examples (35 code blocks)
  • +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (1 of 1)
  • +3All 1 scripts are documented
  • +1License stated

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 89.

External checks

ClawHub: suspicious
This skill is not clearly malicious, but it requests powerful n8n API access while its promised safety controls are mostly guidance rather than enforced protections.
