n8n Atom – Manage n8n workflows as version-controlled files inside VSCode

Summary: n8n Atom is the first client that manages n8n workflow collections as file-based (.n8n) assets within VSCode, Cursor, and Antigravity, enabling Git version control and AI-assisted workflow building. It replaces database-stored workflows with files that can be committed, reviewed, and iterated like code.

What it does

n8n Atom converts n8n workflows into .n8n files managed inside a VSCode extension, allowing developers to commit workflows to GitHub and use AI coding agents to build workflows via natural language input.

Who it's for

Developers working with n8n workflows who need version control, code review, and AI-assisted workflow creation integrated into their development environment.

Why it matters

It solves the problem of managing n8n workflows outside databases, enabling version control, reducing manual UI work, and streamlining workflow development with AI tools.
