Creating skills
Skills are markdown (plus optional scripts) that teach the agent a focused workflow. Keep SKILL.md short—the context window is shared with chat, code, and other skills.
Where skills live
| Location | When to use |
|---|---|
.agents/skills/<name>/ |
Default for n8n: team-shared, versioned, agent-neutral source. |
.claude/plugins/n8n/skills/<name>/ |
Claude-specific override, or a generated symlink to .agents/skills/<name>/. |
.opencode/skills/<name>/ |
OpenCode-specific override only. Shared skills stay in .agents/skills/<name>/. |
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ |
Personal skill for Claude Code across all projects. |
~/.config/opencode/skills/<name>/ |
Personal skill for OpenCode across all projects. |
~/.cursor/skills/<name>/ |
Optional personal skill for Cursor only, global to your machine. |
Do not put custom skills in ~/.cursor/skills-cursor/—that is reserved for Cursor’s built-in skills.
Prefer .agents/skills/ for anything that should match how the rest of the team works. Run pnpm sync:skill-links after adding or removing shared skills.
