## 🐛 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
