🐛 Troubleshooting

Claude.ai Error: "Zip must contain exactly one SKILL.md file"

• Use the individual skill zips, not the bundle
• Each skill must be uploaded separately

Claude Code: Skills not activating

• Verify skills are in ~/.claude/skills/ directory
• Check that n8n-mcp MCP server is running
• Reload Claude Code

Skills not triggering

• Skills activate based on keywords in your queries
• Try more specific questions matching skill descriptions
• Check that SKILL.md files have correct frontmatter
