Find credential

Skill neurawork-git/n8n-autopilot/skills/find-credential

Search credentials on the active n8n instance by name pattern, scoped to a project. Use whenever the user asks "find credential X", "which credential is …", "list Dropbox/OpenAI/etc. credentials", or before referencing a credential ID in a workflow. Default scope = workspace-pinned project. Returns id, type, project, owner role, and a paste-ready TypeScript snippet.From its SKILL.md

Find Credential (Project-Aware)

One command. No fishing through --help.

node "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/find-credential/scripts/search.js" "$ARGUMENTS"

What it does

Reads workspace status → resolves active project (projectId, projectName).
Calls npx n8nac credential list --json (read-only, no secrets).
Filters by:
- name pattern (substring, case-insensitive; --exact for strict match)
- type (e.g. dropboxOAuth2Api) — optional
- project scope: default = workspace-pinned project; --project all shows everything; --project <name|id> overrides
Prints a table grouped by project + paste-ready TypeScript credential blocks.

Output shape

Active project (workspace pin): Confidential RAG (NhVwnjvOp5c5687N)

Matches for "stella" in project Confidential RAG:

ID                  Type                Name                Owner role
------------------  ------------------  ------------------  ----------------
TrPu8rXCuoxpTfnX    dropboxOAuth2Api    Dropbox Stella2     credential:owner
pVsHmMxpQZaUui5w    dropboxOAuth2Api    Dropbox stella 2    credential:owner

TypeScript snippet:
  credentials: { dropboxOAuth2Api: { id: "TrPu8rXCuoxpTfnX", name: "Dropbox Stella2" } }
  credentials: { dropboxOAuth2Api: { id: "pVsHmMxpQZaUui5w", name: "Dropbox stella 2" } }

Other projects with "stella" matches (hidden — use --project all to see):
  Personal (BFOi3Ip4tIRPFnMg): 1 match

Common invocations

User says	Command
"find Stella credential"	`/n8n-autopilot:find-credential stella`
"list all Dropbox creds in this project"	`/n8n-autopilot:find-credential "" --type dropboxOAuth2Api`
"show all OpenAI creds across the whole instance"	`/n8n-autopilot:find-credential openai --project all`
"exact cred name 'Dropbox Stella2'"	`/n8n-autopilot:find-credential "Dropbox Stella2" --exact`

Project scope rules

Default = active workspace project. Hides matches in other projects (shown as summary footnote).
--project all shows everything, grouped by project.
--project <name> filters to that project (matched against shared[].name).
--project <id> filters by project ID.

This is the canonical way to look up a credential before referencing it in a .workflow.ts. Do NOT fall back to n8nac credential list --json | grep — it skips project-scoping and leaks cross-project IDs into workflows.

Why this skill exists

n8nac credential list --json returns every credential the API key can see across all projects. Without project-scoping, agents pick the first matching name and inject an ID that belongs to another project — the workflow then fails at runtime with "credential not accessible". This skill enforces project-scope by default.

Exit codes

0 — matches found and printed
1 — workspace not bound / n8nac CLI failure
2 — no matches in active project (footnote shows counts in other projects if any)
