# Trigger
"Apply the n8n production security capability pack to this workflow stack."
# Required output
1) Threat model
2) Credential and access control map
3) Workflow hardening checklist
4) Incident response and audit planThis capability pack is pinned to documentation verified on 2026-04-10. When upstream docs change, refresh endpoint contracts, examples, and constraints before using this skill for production changes.
Always prefer direct retrieval from official docs/API references over model memory for limits, endpoint signatures, and behavior guarantees.
This capability pack teaches an agent how to operate n8n securely in production. It is focused on practical controls that reduce breach risk and workflow abuse without destroying usability.
SKILL.md.SKILL.md content as reusable workflow instructions..gemini/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md or .agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md where supported..cursor/rules/*.mdc adapter for project rules.Issue: Credential leaks through logs or outputs
Fix: Redact sensitive fields and disable verbose logging for secure paths.
Issue: AI node triggers unintended side effects
Fix: Add deterministic validation/approval stage before mutation nodes.
Issue: Hard to scope incident impact
Fix: Isolate workflows by domain and use least-privilege credentials.
