build-stack-v2

build-stack-v2 is a skill for Claude Code from neurawork-git/n8n-autopilot. It costs 153 tokens per session (2,185 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An experimental builder creates a complete n8n workflow stack: a main workflow plus smaller workflows it calls. It takes an end-to-end use case, divides it into connected parts, fixes the data passed between them, and documents the architecture.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build multi-workflow n8n automations from a detailed use-case description.
Why use it?
It helps split a large automation into smaller responsibilities that are easier to reuse, test, and maintain.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

build-stack-v2 scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (stack.workflow.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Build Stack v2 — JS-Orchestrated Stack Builder

One level up from build-workflow-v2: that ships ONE workflow, this ships a whole stack — an orchestrator plus the sub-workflows it calls via Execute Workflow nodes, with the handover contracts fixed and the architecture documented. The pipeline is a Claude Code Workflow JS script (stack.workflow.js); the script body is the control flow, each step a typed subagent. The per-sub-workflow build reuses build-workflow-v2's build.workflow.js / edit.workflow.js verbatim (one workflow() hop each), so every sub-workflow gets the same hard gates.

Need a plan to feed this? If the user has only a rough idea, run /n8n-autopilot:stack-intake first — a guided interview that produces the PRP-style description this skill digests.

Why a separate stack builder

A single workflow that does everything is a maintenance trap: untestable in parts, OOM-prone, no reuse. The decomposition rules (single-responsibility leaves, triggers at the edges, fan-out/fan-in, error + large-data boundaries — from n8n-orchestration-patterns) say when to split. This skill applies them structurally: the architect decomposes, the contracts are fixed before any code, and the build runs bottom-up by topological sort — a parent is only built after its children exist, because its Execute Workflow node needs the child's real workflowId. A failed child halts its dependents (no building on a broken foundation) and escalates.

Architecture — roles are extracted

agentType Role
n8n-stack-architect decompose a PRP into sub-WFs + handover contracts (greenfield) / plan the delta (extend)
n8n-stack-comprehender reconstruct the real call-graph from executeWorkflow refs in the local mirror (extend)
n8n-author (reused) writes the central architecture doc verbatim
build-workflow-v2 agents (reused, one workflow() hop per sub-WF) research → author → validate → deploy → test

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
