## What it is
n8n-as-code is a toolkit (VS Code/Cursor extension, CLI, and AI agent skills) for managing n8n workflows as code with GitOps-style sync and TypeScript workflow files. It bundles a full n8n node ontology (537 nodes with schemas, 7,700+ templates) so AI coding agents can build, validate, and deploy n8n workflows with grounded context.

## Use cases
- manage n8n workflows in git with pull and push sync
- let my AI coding agent build n8n workflows safely
- edit n8n workflows as TypeScript files in VS Code
- validate n8n workflow schemas before deploying
- run n8n workflow sync from CI pipelines
- search n8n node schemas and templates locally for agents
- debug and inspect n8n workflow executions from the editor

## When to choose
- you use n8n and want workflows version-controlled and reviewable in git
- you want AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) to author n8n workflows with real node schemas
- you prefer editing workflows as code in VS Code or the terminal
- you need explicit, diff-based sync between local files and n8n instances

## When to avoid
- you only build workflows in the n8n visual editor and never touch code
- you don't use n8n or AI coding agents
- you need an officially n8n-endorsed tool (this is community-built)
