Short answer: It means “nodemation” and is pronounced as n-eight-n.
Long answer: “I get that question quite often (more often than I expected) so I decided it is probably best to answer it here. While looking for a good name for the project with a free domain I realized very quickly that all the good ones I could think of were already taken. So, in the end, I chose nodemation. ‘node-’ in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses Node.js and ‘-mation’ for ‘automation’ which is what the project is supposed to help with. However, I did not like how long the name was and I could not imagine writing something that long every time in the CLI. That is when I then ended up on ‘n8n’.” - Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO, n8n.io
master, last pushed 24 September 2026.SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. 5 distinct layouts observed: .agents/skills/*/SKILL.md, .claude/plugins/n8n/skills/*/SKILL.md, .opencode/skills/*/SKILL.md, packages/@n8n/cli/skills/*/SKILL.md, packages/@n8n/instance-ai/skills/*/SKILL.md.h1 and no skipped levels:.claude/plugins/n8n/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json by n8n, declaring 1 plugin. It is read for editorial metadata only — never as the skill index, which is always the repository tree./n8n-io/n8n.md, and each skill at its own .md URL.
