# Build and sync n8n workflows from code with n8n-as-code

Inspect n8n nodes and templates, generate typed workflow code, and sync automations through Git-friendly files instead of hand-editing workflow JSON.

## Prerequisites

Node.js, npm or npx, access to an n8n instance, a supported coding agent or CLI environment

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install the CLI from the n8n-as-code project, connect it to the target n8n instance, then use its code-first workflow commands to inspect nodes, generate typed workflows, and sync them through version-controlled files.
```
