N8n plugin enabled in GitHub Actions workflows
GitHub Actions workflows can now use n8n's skills, agents, and commands automatically — no manual plugin installation required in CI.
GitHub Actions workflows that run Claude now have n8n's plugin capabilities built in. The configuration registers the local plugin directory and enables it automatically, so n8n skills are available the moment these workflows trigger — whether that's a scheduled task or an @claude comment on a PR. Developers and automated systems can now leverage n8n integrations directly from CI without any setup steps. This applies across two key workflows: the task runner and the PR comment responder.
