Individual skill

n8n-code-javascript

Write, review, or debug JavaScript in an n8n Code node. Use when a Code node is already in the workflow (editing it, fixing an error, choosing its mode, making it faster), or when a new one is justified: no native node fits (check the job-to-node table in using-n8n-mcp-skills first) and the job is on the closed list — loops or recursion no node expresses, state across runs, parsing no node handles, an allowlisted library, heavy all-items work, or one short node replacing 4+ glue nodes. Covers $input/$json/$node in code, this.helpers, Luxon, SplitInBatches loops, cross-iteration data, pairedItem, per-item performance, and the "Why Code:" note. Filtering, totals, dedupe, sorting, joins, file formats and API paging have native nodes (Filter, Summarize, Remove Duplicates, Sort, Merge, Extract From File, HTTP Request): see n8n-node-configuration. EXCEPTION — for the AI-agent-callable Custom Code Tool (@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.toolCode), use n8n-code-tool; it has a different runtime contract.
