Builds and maintains configuration-based evaluations on a workflow with the eval-config tool. Use when the user asks to set up, add, view, change, or remove an evaluation, score, grade, or judge a workflow's output, or measure answer quality against a test dataset. This is the only eval form Instance AI handles — it…
Lookup procedure for Simplified Custom Auth recipe fields — sources the auth template, the key-issuing docsUrl and an auth-rejecting testUrl from the provider's real documentation instead of memory. Load before composing credentialHints for a service without a dedicated credential type (the post-build-flow setup…
Guides n8n credential setup through Computer Use browser tools. Use when a user needs OAuth apps, API keys, client IDs, client secrets, or other credential values from an external service console.
Load before calling data-tables or parse-file. Use for natural standalone requests like "what data tables do I have?", "show/list my tables", or "what columns are in this table?", and whenever the user asks to list, show, create, inspect, import, seed, query, update, clean up, rename columns in, or delete data tables…
Debug failed or wrong-output workflow executions using executions tools. Load when the user reports execution failures, unexpected node output, empty parameter values after a successful run, or a node showing a red or failed expression error.
Classifies automation requests using two decisions: anchor (which primitive owns the top-level control flow — workflow-anchored, agent-anchored, needs-clarification, or out-of-scope) and embedsother (whether the other primitive appears embedded inside — an agent step inside a workflow, or a workflow invoked as an…
Answers n8n product, setup, credential, node, hosting, API, and usage questions from current n8n docs. Load n8n-docs via loadtool before calling it (search "n8n docs" if not visible). Use when the user asks how to configure, set up, troubleshoot, or understand n8n behavior, especially credential setup questions opened…
Handles one-off operations: the request is a concrete effect that happens once — export or copy data somewhere, a migration, a backfill, a cleanup — with no trigger, schedule, or reuse intent. The workflow is the vehicle, not the deliverable. Users rarely say "one-off"; infer it from the task's shape. Load before…
Handles system follow-up turns: planned-task-follow-up (synthesize, replan, build-workflow, checkpoint), background-task-completed, running-tasks context, and create-tasks silence rules. Load whenever any of these tags appear or after calling create-tasks.
ONLY for coordinated multi-artifact work: multiple workflows with dependencies, shared data-table schema/migration across tasks, or the user explicitly asked to review a plan first. Load create-tasks via loadtool before calling it (search "create tasks" if not visible). Do NOT use for new one-off workflows…
Handles workflow verification and setup after build-workflow succeeds, or when the message contains workflow-verification-follow-up or workflow-setup-required. Load after direct builds, when verificationReadiness requires action, or on orchestrator verify/setup follow-up turns.
Load before calling build-workflow. Default path for all single-workflow work: new one-off workflows, existing-workflow edits, verification repairs, and workflow-local data tables. Write or edit a workspace source file, run workflow-sdk validate via workspaceexecutecommand, then call build-workflow with filePath. When…
Production-grade n8n workflow building skills. Pairs with the official n8n instance-level MCP server to teach Claude how to architect, validate, and ship workflows that work in production.

Use when building or editing any AI feature in n8n: AI Agents, Text Classifier, Information Extractor, Sentiment Analysis, Summarization Chain, Basic LLM Chain, embeddings, vector stores, single one-shot LLM calls, or AI media generation (image / audio / video) via the native LangChain provider nodes. Triggers on any…
Use when handling files, images, attachments, or binary data in n8n, OR when an AI agent needs to take a user-uploaded file as tool input or return a generated file. For Data Tables (schemas, dedup, persistent state), see the separate n8n-data-tables-official skill. Triggers on "file", "image", "PDF", "attachment"…
Use when the user reaches for a Code node, mentions writing JavaScript or Python in n8n, or any custom logic comes up in workflow design. Triggers on "Code node", "Code", "JavaScript", "Python", "custom logic", "transform data", "$input", "$json transformation", "loop in code", "write a function", or any time the…
Use when handling any auth, API keys, tokens, OAuth, bearer tokens, basic auth, or secret values in n8n workflows. Triggers on "API key", "token", "bearer", "OAuth", "secret", "auth", "credentials", "Authorization header", "x-api-key", or any node configuration that mentions a third-party service.
Use when working with n8n's built-in Data Tables, designing schemas, inserting/updating/upserting rows, deduping, or querying. Triggers on "Data Table", "data table", n8n-nodes-base.dataTable, "dedup", "idempotency", "lookup", "persistent state", "store across executions", or any schema design discussion inside n8n.
Use when an n8n workflow isn't working, errors appear, results don't match what was expected, or the user says "this isn't working." Triggers on errors, unexpected output, "it's not working", "why is this happening", "the workflow stopped", failure investigation, or any debugging context.
