agent-builder

Load immediately after an Agent intent. Then call build-agent with the user's request after any required orchestrator-owned prerequisites are ready. Agent Builder owns Agent setup and implementation questions. Governs prerequisite creation, faithful handoff,…

debugging-executions

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.

instance-awareness

Load when the request depends on what is already on this instance rather than on what the user just typed: a short or ambiguous opener ("fix it", "carry on", "what should I look at"), a reference to earlier work in a new conversation, or any question about…

intent-recognition

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 embeds_other (whether the other primitive appears embedded inside — an…

model-selection

Guides AI model choices in new workflows, existing workflows, pasted workflow JSON, and model-availability questions. Load before recommending, selecting, replacing, or judging a model. Preserve working or explicitly requested IDs. An unfamiliar name or…

one-off-operations

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…

planned-task-runtime

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.

planning

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 load_tool before calling it (search "create tasks" if…

post-build-flow

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…

progressive-building

Load before build-workflow and before scoping or planning new workflows and feature additions, including requests spanning multiple workflows. Implement one increment per user message. Finish setup and inspect a successful real execution before offering…

workflow-builder

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…

data-table-manager

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,…

n8n-create-issue
