Skill frankxai/starlight-automation-agent-skills/skills/n8n-operations

Build, inspect, validate, document, migrate, and template n8n workflows, workflow JSON exports, nodes, credentials placeholders, MCP Server Trigger nodes, MCP Client Tool nodes, and self-hosted automation patterns. Use when a user asks about n8n, workflow exports, workflow templates, branching automation, private workflow engines, or Make-to-n8n migration.From its SKILL.md

n8n Operations

Use n8n for durable technical workflow ownership, reusable templates, private data paths, and workflows that benefit from JSON review.

Best Fit

multi-step branching workflows
API orchestration with transformations
workflow templates for developers
private or self-hosted automations
MCP Server Trigger entry points
n8n agents using MCP Client Tool nodes

Workflow Review Checklist

For exported workflow JSON:

parse JSON before editing
confirm all nodes have stable ids
remove credentials before sharing
check dangling connections
separate test and production webhooks
define retry and error workflow behavior
record idempotency key and dedupe policy
include mock input and output payloads

MCP In n8n

Use n8n's MCP server capabilities to expose selected workflows to agents. Use MCP Client Tool nodes when an n8n agent needs tools from an external MCP server. Keep tool lists small and explicit.

Safety

Do not commit credentials blocks.
Do not publish live webhook URLs.
Do not activate production workflows as a validation shortcut.
Human approval is required for outbound sends, deletes, production deploys, account changes, and spending.

Validation

When available, run:

python scripts/validate_n8n_workflow.py path/to/workflow.json
python scripts/scan_public_safety.py path/to/public/export

Output Shape

Return: workflow map, node table, data contract, error route, MCP exposure plan, validation commands, and migration notes.
